[QUOTE="El Jefe!, post: 1612293, member: 335363"] Thanks Jake, Portability is important so I will probably need both a iMac and a MBP. Also I am paranoid about breaking/losing one machine and being unable to work properly for some time (live in a place where I cannot get a replacement quickly) Due to relatively low internet speed I will need a local backup via Time Capsule or similar - I assume that two computers can share the same device, right? I would like certain folders to synchronize automatically between desktop and laptop, so that I can continue working on various projects when travelling, etc. without having to do any preparation. I will max out both computers with RAM, SSD, etc to get ideal performance. As far as I can see the combination of a MBP and the new 5K iMac is a bit less flexible than combinations of of a MBP and a classic iMac since the MBP will not be able to use the 5K screen. One option could be MBP + iMac + Thunderbolt display. Does anybody have an idea how it would look having a 5K iMac with a Thunderbolt as second monitor? As far as I can see a Mac PRO is probably a [B]worse[/B] solution for me since I will have a much worse display than the 5K and probably not have any use for the extra CPU performance. Any thoughts?
