2019-05-02 at 7:33 AM UTCOn a laptop, 27 inches is going to be a pain in the ass. But if mobility is not really a primary concern and youre not paying for it, why not get the bigger one? My main thing would be getting the best hardware possible. IDGAF about the other shit.
At home, you should be outputting to a proper monitor. I had 3 24" monitors side by side and i still didnt like it as much as I like my 55" LED TV. -

They need to do this to keep the price down and maintain their "different" image, but if they would MAKE A LAPTOP WITH FULLY UP TO DATE SHIT INSIDE IT, irregardless of how much they wanna sell it for or how thin it is, that would be neat.
Irregardless isn’t a word. -
2019-05-02 at 12:56 PM UTCI have a 15.6 with 4k and tbh the text cam be kinda small sometimes, I zoom in about 10% on firefox and adobe.
Sometimes I wonder hoe it would look on a 17 in, but then ahain idk if i could find a laptpp within my price range for that, and also I take it to school everyday, so the lighter weight is nice. -

Unfortunately the dictionaries are now changing the definitions of words due to widespread misuse -

They literally added "figuratively" as a definition of "literally" because a bunch of literal idiots started using "literally" incorrectly for some dumb unknown fucking reason

27 inch is 5k and has an i9 and Radeon Pro Vega 48 gpuPrimarily I'll be doing music production and learning to code, as well as editing/rendering home movies and AMVs.
The reason I think I should go for the recent 4k iMac with a Radeon GPU is that I might end up tinkering with game files or do some 3D gay porn idk I just want the machine to be future proof but I was also thinking about settling for something modest right now then saving up and buying a high powered computer in a few years.
In like two and a half to five years we'll have ray tracing, ray traced audio, VR will be the norm etc so by then any available imac will be outdated.
And as of right now I don't reallllly necessarily need that much power, except when I would be running an emulator or playing FFXIV, so idk.
Part of me wants to go with the 4k iMac so I won't be disappointed and won't need an extra machine, but then part of me thinks "go with a macbook and mac mini".
Ray tracing is a rendering algorithm method that creates faster render FX like light shadows or reflection. what do you mean by Raytrace music?
