If you're considering a new 27-inch Early 2019 5K iMac five takeaways after a few weeks of using it. How does it compare to the iMac Pro? Is the Fusion Drive really so bad? What about Thunderbolt 3 I/O?

Thanks for watching this latest episode of Back to the Mac. It’s a super early morning upload for the hardcore viewers. ☺️ Also, there’s a giveaway in this video and it’s pretty cool. Leave any questions or comments below, and I will answer some on the next episode. Thanks again for watching!
Is it possible to upgrade RAM in the 4k imac in the same way? $1600 for the 6core i5 seems like a much better deal to me. I would love to see some how it compares with this one u featured. I am still not sure if vega20 is worth the upgrade for Photoshop (not doing video at all)
of course I would swap in a 256gig SSD – thanks for the review, was trying to talk myself into the Fusion.
Late night drop, nice!
Love your Youtube videos – greeting from Denmark
Fantastic video, you have really distilled all the real need-to-know stuff in a really straightforward way, thank you.
Will you be doing a comparison between this new iMac and the new Mac mini?
I didn’t know about the different speed of the SC card reader between the iMac and iMac Pro. I guess I will need to get a TB3 dock for my iMac. Thanks.
Which iMac would you recommend 21.5 inch or 27 inch?
Great info on the iMac Pro. Appreciate you taking the time explaining all the details on this wonderful Mac.
A question for Jef: What’s your most expected feature from the upcoming Mac Pro?
Insightful video bro, didn’t realise the Fusion Drive caused that much of a bottleneck!
Fusion Drive is bad.. But Apple’s even still selling 21″ iMacs with 5400rpm HDDs which have no place in any modern Mac, imo
I was watching a iMac review the other day and the guy was telling that the fusion drive isn’t that bad, but this convinced me about the opposite 🙂
Mac I made a great mistake. I bought a 2017 Macbook Pro with 550 Graphics. Can you suggest a DIY EGPU guide? I already have a Radeon pro 580 8GB Graphics Card.
Love your review since I’m actually shopping for the iMac to replace my old MacBook Pro.
Sweet review, love the points covered. Explanation on Fusion Drive was well delivered.
Just wanted to say that you are one of the best Apple reviewers! I always love your videos! Like if you love 9 to 5 Mac too!
I’m not gonna choose the Fusion driver if I have a chance to buy iMac later. Thanks Jeff!!
Great review… helping me decide between the iMac and the iMac pro! And a quick education on the Fusion drive issue.
