What did you do with your custom built one you got back in 2012? I remember you put 32GB of ram, and 2TB of hard drive in it. Can't remember if you had SSD or not. I do remember the power house processor you had though, that sounded like a dream machine!

I was just pointing out a cool design that seems to be upcoming do to companies that Apple is buying. They bought a digital ink company and it’s thought this will be used for an entirely dynamic keyboard. I’ve got a 2015 mid model and probably will hold on this years only because it’s not that much of an upgrade although it is an upgrade for earlier models. I’m also not sure after spending $3100 on my model I have in August that spending $4300 on the top end model in October makes sense. My Mid 2015 is still a power house so I’m not going to sweat it at this point. > On Oct 28, 2016, at 9:23 AM, Kliphton Miller <[email protected]> wrote: > > So bottom line Scott, your saying pass on the 2016 model, and wait it out for > 2018?
