One would hope so, but who knows what Apple's plans are. to be able to work effectively with similar apps to what I have.Īny comments or suggestions most welcome. Any other similar designers out there willing to let me know what spec they went for. so I'm hoping my new MacPro won't need to cost me as much. after some serious research, I realised I bought way over what I needed. Last time round I bought my MacPro at the very highest level I could go. 10ft x 6ft corporate graphics artworks, so I do need a workhorse.
I use Final Cut Pro really for personal/home movie editing, nothing really commercial.
my core apps would still be Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, QuarkXpress 10.5 (soon to be 64bit QuarkXpress 2015). I'm a traditional style graphic designer. but as a given I usually upgrade my machines every 5 years at the max to keep up with new technology etc. I'm running OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 and I'm using a ASUS Bluetooth 4.0 Dongle in conjunction with Continuity Activation Tool to get me all my Handoff/Continuity features. There's nothing wrong with my current machine.
I usually invest in a new MacPro to last me for the next 4-5 years, so I don't want to jump in too soon this year if there's a strong chance that a new, improved version is just around the corner. I am looking to upgrade to the new cylindrical MacPro but I'm worried a refresh is very much around the corner. I currently have a MacPro 2010 (Mid 2010), 2 x 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon with 64 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC + 512GB SSD Drive with QTY 3 x 2TB internal drives.
