[@suleiman5093]

Hey max I have an important question Will you really sell the Mac Pro and what is the price and do you ship it world wide

[@suleiman5093]

And what are the specs

[@jdlmediaco3541]

I have 2017 iMacPro with 32gigs of ram and vega64 and 2019 mbp 16”. I do quick edits cause I have me two small kids on my lap almost all the time. Would this be a worthwhile jump to sell the iMac Pro for this 5k iMac?

[@suleiman5093]

JDLMediaCo even though I am not the one being asked but I think that you should wait for the redesigned iMac with Apple Silicon because it will be much faster and smaller or you can buy a 13” MacBook pro with Apple Silicon But if you’re in hurry consider the 5k 2020 iMac because it is amazing and has great value

[@suleiman5093]

JDLMediaCo what are your 16 mbp specs

[@adrianmarcello6975]

I will never understand how this page does not have ateast a million subs. Max and Vadim provide so much, easy-to-understand knowledge that really helps finding out what specs to purchase for each kind of creative.

[@LouisLuzuka]

Literally everything I’ve been asking for!!!!!

[@meetchoudhary1]

Hey Max Looks like the thing you said in your first video 11 years ago has come true Looking at your happy audience You have helped people by making the right decisions Well done

[@StephenBell_video]

As I just ordered this yesterday, thank you Max for re affirming my decision. Gem of a review, and gem of a computer!! 🙏

[@spikedesignworks]

I am in the market for upgrading my Mac this year, and this came in the perfect timing! Thanks man!

[@kenshinzu_]

Thanks for always being fast and efficient! Your video helps always! Looking forward for the 8core vs 10core comparison before pulling the trigger!

[@Postdisclosureworld]

The most concise practical video I've seen so far. Only the important issues. No fluff.

[@IvanMaras84]

Thank you for this Max. Super valuable info! Looking forward to that CPU comparison video.

[@HeyMarkL]

Great video Max!! Super helpful imo. Curious to hear about the new iMacs

[@walkerjordan536]

I'm just about to upgrade my Macbook Pro and if this can handle A7SIII and R5 footage I'm totally in. Looking forward to the testing before I pull the trigger.

[@sonicacoustics9176]

All the details and specifications are on point. Cool! :)

[@Ronz_Bunny]

Awesome! That’s the video I’ve been waiting for. Thanks for comparison. Cheers

[@taylormcc]

Thank you for another informative video. As an editor, I appreciate your work a ton. Looking forward to seeing how hot and loud the 10 core runs.

[@iamthejtm]

Bought a new iMac because of this video. Thank you!

[@ferdamusonthebeatz7891]

Thank you for your research! Looking forward to your next video. Was thinking pc but this video open the door to Mac for me.

[@wayneavanson]

Thanks for that, very helpful for my impending upgrade.

[@robbyducati]

Excellent review, thx Max

[@jessicadelvalle2187]

Nice!! Great feedback so far 👍👍

[@collegemtl]

Thanks got a new subscriber . Looking forward for the max cpu performance

[@MattHalpain]

Yes please I would enjoy watching your review testing video of the two 8-2020 iMac spec versions you are ordering.

[@mrnessss]

Im a video editor and I was dreading going through the whole process of figuring out which computer to upgrade to again. It's so complicated and there are so many conflicting opinions. I takes so much time and effort. I thought, "I wish someone could just tell me which computer to buy." And VOILA, I came across your video. Thanks so much for saving me a lot of frustration! 🙏🙏🙏😁

[@CarlosAlvaradoPhotography]

You are the man Max! Thanks for all your research.

[@psysoul]

Thank you for sharing!

[@quicklad]

Great informative review! Thanks

[@markjones8121]

Serious piece of kit, excellent value for money!

[@steveg219]

Thanks for this video. I was about to buy a Mac Pro for my audio and video production work and the Apple Silicon announcement hit. I hesitated to figure out what I need and when to buy and read everything I could and watched videos. Yours was the first I found to fully explain the real functionality of these new chipsets and GPUs and it was exactly what I needed to know. 10 Core on order!

[@KamilChusnutdinov]

Thanks for the great content bro, i thought i will wait till imacs get arm, but now im thinking about upgrading from my old 2015 imac 🤔

[@sergiypervun9509]

One of the most honest reviewer here on youtube. Don’t buy your gear without his approval! ;) Looking forward to the max CPU possible overheating performance.

[@milvoid7287]

iMac CPU’s don’t usually overheat, they will throttle but they will never overheat

[@robbeedeebee4480]

@@milvoid7287 Say that to my 2009 iMac which literally burnt a black mark onto the screen via the CPU.

[@milvoid7287]

Robbeedeebee first, that wouldn’t be possible as the cpu in the iMac 2009 does not face the screen. Second, I’ve seen windows pc’s from 2009 catch on fire and destroy their psu

[@OneDarkMartian]

Really helpful video, thank you!

[@colewalliser]

Okay dang it. Now I want one.

[@xportproductions9864]

This guy Max is a Legend!

[@jimmystewartuk]

Suddenly in 2020 there are so many gadgets to invest into 😍

[@NikCan66]

Excellent advice

[@clocktowerhill8760]

4 months from now ~ Why I'm switching to the new AS iMac 4 months later ~ Why I'm switching to the new AS Mac Mini 4 months later ~ Why I'm switching to the new AS mbp 4 months later ~ Why I'm switching to the new AS Mac Pro Thanks for the great video as always - but careful chasing the tail!

[@patrickb4750]

We're always chasing the tail lol

[@DynamicLearning4u]

haha. I was about to say the same thing! haha

[@madedigital]

Get what you need thats it

[@FCPWHAT]

Neil Mo Apples new ARM processors are at least 2 years away! And let’s face it - If you don’t like change, get out of the technology industry!

[@MaksimYuryev]

Don't forget that we make a living working with and on the latest machines and resale of Macs is really good. In some cases its most cost effective to upgrade every year instead of waiting for 5 years for value to drop a ton. Add in being able to make money covering these new machines where you wouldn't if you have older ones and it makes a ton of sense.

[@tommyowen529]

Freakin helpful, thanks, man. 🤙🏻

[@topicruben]

That was super helpful. Thanks a lot 🙏

[@smalltalk.productions9977]

thanks for the effort and the sharing. i am an appreciative subscriber. stay well.

[@Profato]

They should sell a Mac Pro "Mini" with these internals. Would be an awesome desktop.

[@InternationalBassStation]

Then they should make an iPod Mini Pro

[@jas_bataille]

Thermals don't work like this...

[@sadatnafis2032]

Wow! Your best value imac config is exactly the same as the one I came up with.

[@MusicNeighbors]

Thanks so much for all your very informative, well put together, and helpful videos. You seriously do a good job at guiding us to make a decision about our purchases. I used the link in this video to purchase... so hopefully you get the some compensation ;)

[@The_Drive_Inside]

Just used your link to upgrade my RAM... THANK YOU 🙏🏻

[@seken2nun]

Good stuff bro 👍🏾

[@888marin888]

i didn't know anything about all the hardware encoding stuff with navi rtx5000 series, it's so good review, thanx Max !!

[@mikesnyder2448]

Great videos Max! Dying for a video editing performance comparison between iMac Pro and new 2020 iMac 27”!

[@marcianolansu]

Thank you so much! This was super clear and helpful. It's easy to get lost in all the different specifications and pricing. Used your affiliate link as a thank you.

[@WarriorsPhoto]

Good info Max. I hope your new iMacs are everything you are saying. I have some older Macs I edit with. I would like to have a newer computer and these could be the ticket. Also I will use your link. 😉

[@PilotWanderlust]

Max, thank you for the video! I have one question: My iMac is 3 months old (8core i9, SSD, Vega Pro, 64GB RAM) Will I have issues with 4K60 or 8K30 (no C-LOG!) footage of the Canon EOS R5? Thanks in advance!

[@jking7771]

Thx Max, another great video, I look forward to the comparison between the 8 core and 10 core processors. I might finally buy an iMac as I believe this will suit my needs.

[@vallejopnw]

Same. From what I read and I did plenty research, the 8 core is better oddly and Adobe prefers 8 core (from the site). That’s what I use, gonna take the plunge

[@inknpaintCW]

Great info. Thanks!

[@karaygeoushearts]

I’m really excited for your follow up reviews of both iMacs. I’d love for you to compare it to the HP Envy 32 All-In-One. These iMacs look awesome.

[@amirg9716]

Amazing video!

[@wtw84]

That was excellent!

[@christianschmeer]

Looking forward to your tests! I currently have the iMac Pro base model and was wondering if it’s worth selling to get this 10 core model.

[@bdegraaff6869]

Awesome video and I'll be awaiting your comparison of the 8 and 10 core models before ordering. In that video could you please touch on 3D software, Lightroom, Illustrator and Photoshop performance when it comes to this upgrade aside from your usual Video editing benchmarking? I use all of these programs so would be good to hear if it's worth picking the 10 core instead of perhaps an SSD upgrade to 1tb. Cheers!

[@splashdownmodels]

Thanks for all your videos, What is a good version for editing medium format pictures?

[@xxBIGxCHIEFxx]

Thanks Max

[@KamalJones]

Another great video Max, would this computer be faster than my 2019 5K iMac Vega 48?

[@depeofficial3402]

Hi Max, thanks for the video. May I ask that if I choose the 8gig version and buy extra rams, is the back ram slot empty, or it already has 2x4gigs installed and I should replace them before installing new rams?

[@nikolayliubenko2287]

Great video 😊

[@DaveMorrow]

great video!

[@norcalx1474]

Great video. I need a desktop. You suggest this one over the newer one coming out without intel??

[@noo3killer]

Great video!! If I plan on doing light video editing but using it mainly for photo editing, which one would you pick to go alongside my base model 2019 16in MacBook Pro?

[@WarriorsPhoto]

How much RAM do you think you’ll use for photo editing?

[@b9bot148]

I bought the 2020 iMac with 8gigs of ram, 4TB hard drive, the Radeon 5700XT, and the 8 core processor for Windows gaming. Bought 64gb of 3rd party ram and upgraded that myself as soon as I pulled out the Mac from the box. So I use 2TB for Mac and 2TB for Windows which is why I got the 4TB SSD. Oh I also got the 10gig ethernet as well. Didn't get the fancy display coating because I feel that display could get damaged to easily. I can now play most games on the high graphics or ultra graphics settings, it's amazing. Would have waited for an M1 but no Windows compatibility so that's why I got this Mac. I don't really have the space to have a Mac and a PC box separately and would cost more as well.

[@jonotucker9816]

Hey Max, if most video editors work in lighting controlled environments is it worth getting the Nano texture glass? Does the picture suffer from the anti reflective coating?

[@DonovinJones]

Finally it’s time for me to buy a used iMac

[@Jaysonjay]

@MaxYuryev Can you please include a Logic Pro X/ fan noise test if possible? thank you .

[@mythoughtsmyfaultspodcast]

Mine comes Friday can’t wait saved money on the ram upgrade

[@brandonharden2184]

Waiting on your 8-core vs 10-core iMac follow-up before I pull trigger. Taking this thorough and perfect video into account, it looks like I might be better off getting the new iMac instead of the 10-core iMac Pro.

[@seasideshutterworx]

Looks good. Wonder how it will do with 12bit raw from the Sigma FP?

[@boogy81869]

Question; What kind of speakers are the ones in your setup? I love the white matt finish.

[@garettw4741]

Hey Max. I need help. I just bought both the GoPro Hero 8 and the Hero Max. They will be all I am using for now and I am new to the video editing game and also want to start a podcast. I have the iPad Pro but you cannot edit anything with that. Again, new to all this and will invest in some classes to learn more. What do you recommend I go with? iMac 27 and what specs or MacBook Pro and which one? I will more than likely buy based on your suggestion

[@HolaMundoDev]

when is the video about video editing coming up? I'm really expecting it! I need to make the decision if I get the 5500 xt or the 5700 xt

[@MaksimYuryev]

5700XT iMacs only ship on the 19th. Easy answer though, get the 5700 XT for video editing.

[@jasonspruance]

Max Yuryev so the street price difference between the 5700 and 5700 XT is only $50, and many of the sites I saw that reviewed the raw performance said the XT wasn’t worth the extra $50. In the iMac, is it really worth the extra $200 premium that Apple charges?

[@LouisLuzuka]

Jason Spruance I was wondering the same question, so you’re just paying to 8gb vs 16Gb?

[@soots-stayingoutofthespotl5495]

Great vid Max. I'm interested in fan noise for the different CPUs and GPUs, as that's one way iMacs have definitely been inferior to the iMac Pro in recent years. Basically, I want a machine where the fan rarely comes on, as I shall also be using it for music production.

[@festivaldayfilms]

Thanks Max 🤟

[@jerseyshorehaunters2798]

Hey Max! First off, great video! Thanks for the info! Would love to get your input on this: I'm looking to set myself up with the Black Magic Pocket 4k and to shoot mainly in 2.8K BRAW. I'm not too good with all codecs and stuff but from what you were saying this iMac would be good for BRAW processing do you think? I was a little confused, do I have to worry about the whole inability to decode 422 if I decide to use Apple Pro Res 422 HQ? Also, based on what I'm using it for, I'd love your personal recommendation for what specs I should get? Thanks for your knowledge, Max!

[@RandyD1972]

Do you recommend using x2 32Gb Ram sticks with the 8Gb base that is in the machine? Looking at ordering a new iMac and will used your amazon links to upgrade.

[@50shadesofNV]

could you compare to the base 2017 imac pro ? seems like this 8 core model is a Challenger specific to the imac pro form 2017? thoughts?

[@ShugyoshaRyu]

Hi Max! Good job as ever with your videos. I wanted to ask if it is worth selling your Mac Pro, once investing in it, instead of waiting for the proper GPU by AMD to swap your existing one in the Mac Pro, given its better overall thermal performance etc. Thanks!

[@FCPWHAT]

1. How does your mentioned computer spec handle BRAW in Resolve? 2. how does this set up compare to an 8 core Late 2013 MacPro with (32GB) and the G700 graphics?

[@baldwinvp]

This is really great news for Mac editors. I personally won’t return to Mac and will be sticking with custom PC builds, but I’m happy to see Apple correct some major flaws in their models. Now if only they would stop their feud with Nvidia and open up that option for MacOS!

[@JohnDoe00]

Can you please make a comparison 1080p (30p,120p) fotage between Sony A7ııı and R6 or I dont know which cameras do you have :D love your content every video is great.

[@fraeliteyt5452]

Will there be an increase in performance with a Mac Pro if you have to edit in 6k RAW compared to a maxed iMac? If so, how much? Will doing a proxy before editing help the iMac?

[@user-tg6cm9dc4l]

could you compare between iMac Pro VS iMac 2020 ?? which one is better? for 6k editors

[@MercMan]

So happy my old top of the line 27” iMac was upgraded to this! Should be here in 2 weeks! Got the i9 as well as the Radeon Pro 5700, decided to go with the 8 GB of RAM to save money as I ordered the 64 GB kit you posted

[@DB-lr6kl]

Did you get the nano screen?

[@MercMan]

D B So I have kind of an interesting case here, I had ordered the older 2019 iMac on July 30th without knowing this new one would be announced, then once it started processing it was put on hold and I was like wtf, turns out I was upgraded with the “equivalent” of my current order. So while I only have the standard glass, in my room reflections is not a problem so I wouldn’t have shelled out the $500 anyway. But I am very happy to get my new iMac soon, my old workhorse is a late-2012 21.5” 1 TB HD and these days a simple Premiere Pro project sometimes makes the iMac have a heart attack with just 4 GB of RAM lol..

[@MaksimYuryev]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@MercMan]

Max Yuryev Thanks I will! Love your channel keep up the great work! 🙌🏼

[@iClassik]

Great video.

[@sirpfa]

In terms pressure on Ram, CPU & GPU. Which is more demanding and heavier on the computer in general, “Graphics Rendering” or “Video Editing”?

[@MichaelWootten]

Great video, Max! You're a great resource for information on Mac computers as video editing machines. My topped out 2015 27" iMac is beginning to show it's age with even just my 8-bit 4k footage from my a6500 and Mavic Air for which I need to create proxies to get even passable performance, and I have pre-ordered an a7s III... So, duh, I should probably upgrade, BUT I was wondering what your take may be on holding out for an iMac with the new Apple designed processor? Thanks!

[@MaksimYuryev]

If you can hold out, I probably would. The question is if Apple will release a new 5K iMac with Apple processor next summer or will it be later than that. They will start with more base level MacBooks and probably a 24" iMac but we don't know how long it will take for the powerful Macs. For us we've been waiting for an upgrade for a while now so once the arm iMacs come out we will resell these and move up if they are a good enough upgrade.

[@PS-ys9yg]

one doubt, do you recomend to buy 512gb storage and a external ssd? what about the speed trasnfer with an external ssd for editing 4k online? without ethernet

[@dbarbaree]

Love your channel, Max. I'm wondering if you think this new 2020 iMac would actually be a worthy upgrade (if at all) over my 2017 base-level iMac Pro (3.2 8-Core Intel Xeon W / 32 GB Ram / Radeon Pro Vega 56 8 GB). Apple would currently give me a $2020 trade-in credit for my iMac Pro so just weighing my options before my computer loses value...thanks.

[@MichaelSidneyTimpson]

Understood, but isn't the one advantage of the Mac Pro is that you can still upgrade to even a better CPU (which will continue to drop in price) and an even more advanced GPU in the future, whereas you cannot do that on an iMac?

[@blimages2]

Good morning ! which iMac i could use with 6k blackmagic camera including Atem Mini Pro ISO, if you can help me with the details, thanks

[@robbeedeebee4480]

I took some 4k HEVC 4:2:2 log footage from the EOS R5 into an Apple store today and airdropped it to the 2020 iMac. It couldn't play it in real time any better than the 2019 16" MacBookPro that I have. I suspect that even though the 10th gen intel CPU has hardware decoding, the software attempts to playback using GPU acceleration. Tried Quicktime and Final Cut Pro X while I was there. The good news is that you can still render out the timeline and edit it smoothly like any Mac of the last 5 years, which is a point that is always conveniently neglected by those who love drama.

[@tomaltman9506]

Max, would a PC build with same processor and video card be just as good, cheaper?

[@simonssight]

Hello Max! Could you please talking about use 10gb ethernet for 4k video editing, i mean it reason to buy 4 hdd nas box, like som models of asustor?

[@marcopervo]

Thank you for this info. MacPro/iMacPro are extremely expensive options on the Apple side. If you go the Windows/Hackintosh route, the i9 platform is pricey and doesn't offer much in the way of core-count (present or future), and even a modest AMD Threadripper w/add-in Thunderbolt 3 could set you back $4-5K. This has been the toughest time to upgrade since the early 2000s.

[@delarageaz]

omg i have the 2160p option showing on my iPad on this very video. Thx Max for the great content !

[@MaksimYuryev]

What ipados do you have ?

[@delarageaz]

Max Yuryev i think it's on 14 Public Beta 3

[@LouisLuzuka]

Been trying to figure out if I should get a base i5 or base i7 or future proof knowing I will get an R5 later.. but by then maybe the silicon will be out by then so should I just get what I need for now?! Editing 2.5k raw and 4k60

[@eriknelson5585]

Don't even need an iMac but great video!

[@scottduncanphotography1671]

i see you linked two imacs at different price points. are they the same or did i miss something?
