Considering buying a 27" 5K iMac

Considering buying a 27" 5K iMac.

With the student discount I can get the medium one for 2000e.

It got :

3.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor
Turbo Boost up to 4.1GHz
8GB 2400MHz memory, configurable up to 64GB
1TB Fusion Drive1
Radeon Pro 575 with 4GB video memory
Two Thunderbolt 3 ports
Retina 5K 5120-by-2880 P3 display

Is it a good idea ? How are the new Radeon and processor ? I'm upgrading from a 2013 iMac with a slow af HDD

Also planning to install Windows on Bootcamp to casually play (by casually I mean like once a week and I don't give a shit about graphics). Will it do ?

>Is it a good idea ?
Buying apple production is not a good idea in general unless you're some faggot

Wow, much arguments.
Very projection.
So qt 3.14

Arguments:
1. Overpriced shit targeted to normies and hipsters.
2 .Useless mac os, unless you're going to use it only for lurking Sup Forums.
3. It's apple.

Just buy something that is not an overpriced piece of shit if you're a student.

Don't buy one it's overpriced shit. You could easily get a 1080ti i7/r7 build for the money you would spend on it

Daily reminder people

Before someone does a comparison build remember to include the 5K display.

>2 .Useless mac os, unless you're going to use it only for lurking Sup Forums.

yeah you probably consider it 'usless' because it cant play your precious videos games

He falls into the Mac meme

I dno man, my gf has the i7 6700k 27in iMac and the screen and performance is pretty great. Badly let down by a shitty amd 2gb graphics card in gaming but as a designer it suits her needs extremely well.

I despise the Mac keyboard and magic mouse though, what a hideously disgusting set of input devices. Chiclet keyboards make me want to vomit and the mouse is just straight up uncomfortable to hold

>using the included keyboard and mouse

Actually I'm a C++ developer, and think all apple production is fucking piece of shit.

No. For 2 grand you can make a top of the line rig that will perform well for about 7 years (That you can still upgrade)
Mac's products, as with your older iMac, go bad after about 4. And good luck upgrading the soldered parts

Can you not replace the slow as fuck HDD with a SSD?

4 cores, 8gb ram, hdd, 2000€


Lol

pretty concise and self-explanatory

hi guys

you can get 2K i7 hackintosh for 1000e
but you are a student so you are dumb so...

I'd go for cheaper imacs or build myself

Isnt a 5K screen already like 1000$ ?

>Look mom, I posted it again!

opt for the ssd not the fusion drive

That are Fusion Drive anyway ? Like half SSD/half HDD ?

yep spanned volume it's a seperate hdd and ssd in there that you can in theory reformat and use seperately for better performance.

When I did this on my 2015 5k imac I found myself not using the hdd for anything and wishing i had opted for the larger ssd instead(same price for 256GB ssd and 1.12TB fusion drive model at the time)

Where do mouth breathing technology illiterate brain dead gullible mactoddler morons get the false impression that they or their fruity toddler toys are welcome much less belong on a technology board?

Not even Applel are fucking retarded enough to use macshit for real work.

also 1.12TB fusion drive is 1TB HDD + 128GB SSD

...

excuse me sir could you point me to the new desktop tread please? I want to compare anime tiddies with the other neckbeards on the board.

Enjoy your $300 overheating piece of shit with a $1500 logo for gullible retards.

How does it even work ? Like do you choose where you want to download the file or is it all pre-selected by Apple ?
Like, if I want to install Final Cut, can I choose to instal it on the SSD ?

I know it sound stupid but it's Apple after all

If you're a student you should instead put your money into a MBP, you'll need portability more than anything

Can we finally put an end to this meme?

Apple in typical apple fashion made it seamless so if you want to tear the hdd and ssd apart you'll have to delete the logical volume that makes up the fusion drive by booting into recovery mode.

There's tutorials on it that you can find using google.

Make sure to cover up the price on that monitor also good luck finding 10bit content anywhere, even game devs are too lazy to use 10bit textures.

That true 10-bit 100% color space coverage Dell 5k is $1200, your psudo-"""""""""professional"""""" 8-bit 78% coverage overheating imacshit is still $5000.

already have a Macbook Air (from 2013). Still work great but I need a bigger machine for Final Cut/Logic Pro and a bit of gaming.

OP said it's 2k not 5k lrn2numbers
>imac
>overheating
You can't even get your anti-apple facts right

>Mac
>for Final Cut/Logic Pro

>8-bit 78% coverage trash for $5000

Christ mactoddlers are gullible clueless fucks.

mfw lincux have to re-use their images

Bad engineered and with basically laptop components, that mixed drive will be slow as shit, only plus is the 5k display. Get a dell XPS and you have something beautiful you can take with you all the time

I'm a student and I work a lot with video/3d and other intensive stuff.

I have an old i5 thinkpad 12.5" and a desktop build I made. I barely turn it on, always on the laptop unless I've really big projects. you're a student you will always need mobility.
Get a laptop for comfiness and get a serious desktop for power, that thing has none and it costs a lot, I think its only use is if you're in an office and you've money to spend or if you are a graphic designer and the screen is more important than the CPU.

>Sup Forums hates apple
>uses windows
cant make this shit up fucking top kek

>mactoddlers
>on a technology board
cant make this shit up fucking top kek

Sup Forums is full of people that think they're hackers because they use android

Is now everybody who isn't a "social media manager", streamer, unskilled photographer or whatever else art student hipsters can do in a coffee shop, a pajeet?
There's people who do actual work, and for those people, a mac is a huge productivity drain

Even the desktop models overheat, good luck doing anything serious when your processor it being throttled.

It'll be a decent upgrade for you. Wait for the new iMacs to come out first though because you might be able to pick up a good used one for a good deal.
