[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1798255, member: 56379"] Not exactly true. I believe the rational behind not getting the 2013 Mac Pro was that you didn't feel that the price-tag for a 2013 Mac Pro was worth it for 5 year-old technology. You also mentioned earlier that portability was not necessarily a concern...which is why desktop model's such as the Mac-Mini & Mac Pro were under consideration at that time. [U]I made 2 possible alternative suggestions: [/U] 1. At one point I suggested a 2012 quad-core Mac-Mini. 2. I suggested at least 2x...that you might seriously consider getting an original style Mac Pro. The quad-core Mac-Mini would have more CPU performance that your 2014 Mac-Mini. As far as the original style Tower Mac Pro. Price tag is bound to be more reasonable than either a 2013 Mac Pro or a 2018 15" MacBook Pro. You would still get kick-butt performance from a model that could have anywhere from 4 to 12 cores. And probably at a fairly reasonable price. Of course now that you've opened "Pandora's Box"...and looked at the 2018 15" MacBook Pro's (with a $2399+ price-tag)...an older computer will most likely never suffice.:( - Nick [/QUOTE]
