askold Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I need to upgrade my system and I am looking at the imac 27 5k or the late 2013 imac 27. Does the 5k gives more screen real estate in logic X? I would like to see a screenshot of both if possibe Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickenbacker360 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 For the 5K, It seems to me that the pixels will be so small (cramming more into 27 inches), that you may likely set your resolution for better readability and thus see less. This is a trend with Apple: graphics beauty at font size expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickenbacker360 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I know the reviews of the 5K are superb. In Mac Pro Territory. If I had to choose, I'd go 5K and mess with screen resolution to fit my bifocal eyes. Your Appeture/Lightroom begs for the 5K. ** Be careful! ** Do make sure you can add aftermarket RAM. Apple is soldering RAM and SSDs to motherboards these days. My philosophy for buying (new) computers has always been, "spend until it hurts, the spend a little more."

askold Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 you can still add memory like with the other imac models with this one. Just a removable door, easy access Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
