    Best (summer 2019) choices for Mac Lightroom Classic performance and Workflow
    on: July 6, 2019 at 4:39 pm

    One other thought is that the old tower Mac Pro ran very hot and was intrusively noisy. The 2013 Mac Pro runs far more quietly and emits less heat. Before committing to a new 2019 Mac Pro I’d want to be sure that it would not be like a radiator under the desk – and noisy too.

    Similar dilemma here:

    1: New Mac Pro seems to be overkill for stills photographers

    2: iMac doesn’t appeal as I have adequate monitors

    3: Ideal would be an updated ‘Trashcan’ Mac Pro – same form factor with 4 or 6 TB3 ports, Gigabit ethernet. We can dream I  suppose.  My 2013 model still works well with IQ3100 files and a big C1 Catalog.

    4: Mac Mini is its latest incarnation is an excellent machine. 32GB RAM and 2Tb SSD is quite enough for me and indeed in some way is the successor to the 2016 Trashcan in my mind – TB3, 10 Giga Ethernet

    Short-term I have upgraded the current Mac Pro to 64Gb RAM. Any funds that might have gone to the new Mac Pro are no staying in the bank.

    I would be interested to hear what others for whom the 2013 Mac Pro has been a good solution are thinking.
