Marco.org: iMac or Mac Pro? →

I have a Mac Pro and Tiff has a 24” iMac. Both were purchased in early 2008. We both have high demands…

Now that both of our computers are nearly three years old, mine’s still doing fine for the foreseeable future (although I’ll put an SSD in it soon), but we’re ready to throw Tiff’s out the window.

The entire studio just had to upgrade their 36 month old MacBook Pros. My 2008 Mac Pro is humming along nicely. Like Marco, I’ve also decked out my internal bays & RAM.

iMacs are fine, but I’d recommend a Mac Pro for longevity. You can even upgrade the processors.
