My guess is the laptop would have to be first, then if Santa brings me a 5 lb box of money I’d also spring for an iMac.Īfter 4 days, Dan said his new 15" MBP touchbar model was both stable and really fast. Whether I can live with a desktop and without a zippy laptop or not is the question.
#Rhino for mac price incrase pro
I was surprised to find that the 27" 5K retina iMac was both faster and smoother than the more expensive Mac Pro (which wasn’t even running a 5K monitor). Curiously, I did some back-to-back comparisons with some heavy Rhino files about 1.5 years ago. Agreed on the iMac being a Rhino Monster. If the ports are bothersome and/or the usb-c peripherals you need aren’t out there yet… or for whatever reason you’re not feeling the 2016 then yeah, get a 2015… you can probably get a refurb at a pretty good price point if comparing to a new 2016. Rumor has it, the next version (mid2017) will come out when intel releases a cpu that can use LPDDR4 ram in which case, apple will likely have a 32GB model available… i have a 2013 right now and will probably be holding off til next year to upgrade. To me, the iMacs are really sweet rhino machines and would pick that over anything else… even a mac pro (and probably even a 2016/17 mac pro if that ever comes)… however, if i could only use one computer, it would have to be a laptop and i’d most certainly get one of the 2016 MBPs if my current one bites the dust… idk, they seem to be controversial amongst hardware geeks but personally, i think they’re real nice… I only have anecdotal evidence regarding GPU but my imac is a lot smoother navigating, particularly in ghosted mode, vs my MBP… both nvidia but the imac has 4GB vRam and the MBP has 2GB… however, this may actually be due to the faster CPU in the imac… 3.5GHz vs 2.5 in the MBP… (?) Most of Rhino runs on CPU… the faster the better… get one of the i7 processors (MBP and imac both have an i7 option then a faster i7 option… i’d say at least go with the slower of the two as opposed to an i5 or i3)
If I recall, Rhino runs heavily (primarily?) off of the video card? If so, is it correct that this is more important than the processing speed of the CPU?
