[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1646040, member: 56379"] Your first post made it sound like you wanted to ditch the 2011 iMac for a newer computer purely due to performance issues. But when you mentioned "MacBook Pro"…this certainly made me think that you were after more than just more performance. That portability was a factor (but this wasn't mentioned in post #1).;) If portability is the greater concern…that wasn't mentioned specifically in post #1 (and probably should have been). Just saying.:) As far as performance. The 2011 iMac (4gig ram, i5 cpu, 2.5ghz) was the lowest end iMac available at that time. So better performance with a newer computer should not be too difficult.:) CPU benchmark performance for the: - 2011 iMac is 7237. - 2014 15" MacBook Pro with a 2.5ghz CPU is 14074 - 2014 15" MacBook Pro with a 2.8ghz CPU is 14701 In my opinion…the 2.8ghz CPU upgrade is probably not worth it. What you didn't mention is…whether you were going with the 15" MacBook Pro with integrated graphics or dedicated graphics. The dedicated graphics is the more expensive model. - Nick p.s. As you can see. The CPU benchmarks are significantly better with the 2014 MBP's compared to the 2011 iMac!:) [/QUOTE]
