Don't make the mistake of going to the Apple store to check out the 5K iMac or you'll end up like me and actually buying one, possibly much sooner than you intended. It's _gorgeous_ by the way. I ordered the upgraded 4 GHz i7 processor and more RAM, so I have 8 CPUs and 16 GB RAM. The Fusion drive goes like stink. Bottlenecks begone! But it cannot drive a second 5120 by 2880 monitor, sadly. So if I ever add a dedicated editing display I'll have to settle for a more plebeian unit. I'm okay with losing the 2nd monitor for now; the Retinal display is wondrous to edit on and it's an excellent IPS screen that calibrated perfectly. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
