iMac 2019 vs Fully-Loaded Macbook Pro

Our iMac review was pretty positive, but we got to thinking: If we’re going to want external graphics anyway, does a Macbook just make more sense?

Make ANY PC Into a Hackintosh!

Apple won't like this... - Run MacOS on ANY PC

Let's explore why Apple computers run slow!

Macs are SLOWER than PCs. Here’s why.

Quick question, why does this bother you?

This is the third time I've seen you complain...

whats it matter to you what it matters to me?

 

the fact is they have ALWAYS done something one way and this last week they seem to have changed it without addressing it. why are you jumping down my throat over me asking a question?

I was just curious, Jesus..

It's such a mundane thing to complain about, honestly.

There's a massive oversight in this episode, the machines on the table have the macbook on the left, but the charts have the macbook on the right, this causes me pain.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Apple: Intel Core i9 - Up to 4.8 GHz*** 
Linus: Single core performance matters the most for most of the tasks!

MacBook: max 3.5 GHz on the Turbo Boost

 

The year 2007 wants their clocks back!

I would call an iMac a portable device, because I've already seen people working on train with their imac.

I just want to thank @LinusTech and @GabenJr and the rest of the LTT staff for great video as always. Especially on things that they don’t normally cover.

The thing is that Windows-Notebooks usually also aren't clocked much higher.

2 things:

 

Would the $3149 Macbook Pro with the Core i7-8850H and Vega Pro 20 have faired any better against the featured Macbook Pro or iMac Pro in terms of value?

 

Can you guys consider doing a long-term usage review or ~ in light of these solutions ~ a "ways to work around iOS limitations" video for the iPad Pro?

 

 

Nicely done comparison by the way! ;)

Found way to install the YT Dislike Extension on my phone! xD

@GabenJr With the price comparisons the iMac only had 8GB selects whole the MBP gets 16 as default. Was the RAM for the episode 16GB for both or 32GB?
