Apple just announced a speed bump on the existing Mac Pro series with no changes on hardware (old ports and what no) lame... but hold your horses.... There will be new Mac Pros (with modular system) and Pros display coming next year, according to Phil.





As for new iMacs, they also revealed it's coming this year. So yeah, i can't wait to see what Apple going to do with new iMacs and Mac pros, because this 2016 fully loaded piece of shit MacBook Pro of mine can't hardly breath on a dual-4k setup.

MacBookPro11,5 prior to touch bar model. I loaded it up all options thought it will replace my Macpro. Nope. What a mistake. It runs hot, like freaking jet engine LOUD and bloated on 4k/60hz dual monitors outfit. Note that the 11,6 model doesn't improve much on spec.

While your planned set up capable to do dual 5k/60hz doesn't meant it will runs smooth. This terrible ultra thin chassis have hard time with air circulation, doesn't matter how good the design is, especially in warm room, you just want to throw that piece of bloated junk in the trash can. I get by using low resolution settings in ice cold room and constantly have to unplug one monitor out, let it cool down and put thing back in.

Anyway, what size of 5k screen? i have hard time already reading texts on 4k 27-inch. i can't imagine using a 5k unless it's well above 32-inch, preferably 40.

With recent announcement on Apple determines to revive PRO user bases with new iMac Pro, Mac Pro and Macbook Pro, it won't be wise to consider the 11,6 Touchbar model. I believe the next round of update won't be that mediocre, it should be a significant update, considering the insult on share market loses for Pro segments.

There are couple dozen of configurations from 2K to easily over 10K USD set up on 2013 MacPro. 11,6 Toucbar with 16G blows away which old lady panty again?

That it! The feeling of let down by Apple in Pro segment can't be denied. Man, i hate to be in your shoe but yeah, it's going to be a year before we get a glimpse of the next Macpro.

I used to work on 15 minutes weekly video segment on a old-gen slow-ass iMac that's having issues with overheat. Just 1080p source alone took overnight of processing and during the summer, the stupid thing reboot and we ended up have to redo it again unless we turn the AC on all night! Cheapskate boss ended up getting a new iMac because of excessive AC bill LOL.

good luck on your Project!
