Mac Pro or Macbook Pro 15 Retina??

[Pavilion]

Hello guys,

 

I confused between keeping my Macbook Pro Retina (Mid 2014) 15 with the following specs

CPU: I7 2.5 GHz with Turbo Boost  3.7 GHz

Graphic Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M

RAM: 16 GB DDR3

Storage: 512 SSD

 

or replace it with a used Mac Pro 6 core (Late 2013) with the following specs

CPU: Intel Xeon E5 3.5 GHz with 12MB L3 cache and Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz

Graphic Card: Dual AMD FirePro D500 3gb of GDDR5 each

RAM: 16 GB DDR3 ECC

Storage: 256 SSD

 

 

I use my Macbook Pro Retina for video editing 1080p 60fps, some Photoshop some times, and surfing the web with some other regular apps, My Macbook Pro Retina handle these programs quite well with no problem with video editing or anything else

 

but the reason I'm thinking moving to the Mac Pro is the i don't often use my Macbook Pro Retina outside my office in fact I use it with external displays and external keyboard, mouse.

and I like the fact that the Mac Pro is more capable machine than the Macbook Pro Retina, even though i think its overkill for my tasks.

 

Any opinions wether should i go with the Mac Pro or not?? specially that i will pay 860$ extra plus later i have to upgrade the SSD to 512 or more in the Mac Pro

 

Thanks

Hard to say its worth it, when your machine currently handles what you do

Id wait as its likely new macs will be announced soon

Wait until this September , apple is gonna release some next gen hardware.

That may include a new mac pro.

 

If your current setup gets the job done, hold on to that until this fall.

I honestly wouldn't get a Mac just because they are so expensive and the hardware isn't as good as some cheaper custom built PC's just saying.

I'd say wait for the new Macbook

I would say to first of all wait for the new mac pro to release, but if you need something now, I would still keep your current macbook pro, this is because the newer apple products have an intel chip that make rendering possible in the background of editing I believe. Look it up if you don't believe me.
