So the i7 you have is more productive than your Mac Pro quad..... yet in another video you claimed your Mac Pro is just as productive, or more productive, than an i7.

Oh wait, I get it... this is a comedy video, right? As in for laughs?

[AppleSoldier]

@FoodMoTron3k no, this imac is faster but not as dependable.

[J03KAH]

horrible accent

[FoodMoTron3k]

@AppleSoldier How is it not as dependable? Did Apple put a time limit on how much you can use it? lol

[LucMathlin]

@TheKazable so true this guy hasnt got a clue about anything outside of his own stuck up little mac lover world XD

[XmortdreadX]

mac benchmark programs, now THATS an idea

[Hkerai]

when ARE THE NEW IMACS COMING!

[TheKazable]

Lol.... this kid always is talking shit about all computers if they are not a mac but at the same time if you listen to his videos he has no idea what actually makes a computer good.... he just reads off the stats of the computer. Anyone who has built their own computer and sees this kid talking just must die laughing because i know i do.

@shiningstars109 RIP

ok, imac 27" with the i7 is a better value than a mac pro and a 27" LED display, but as for longevity, i'd rather a mac pro that's cheap to upgrade, fix and tweak. i can't add esata ports to an imac yet i can my 07 mac pro. yes, the i7 quad cores hyperthreaded may be really fast but i'm hanging on to my 8 core 3 ghz mac pro for atleast two more years before investing in a new one (16 core when they're available.) and then my 8 can be my server.

[shiningstars109]

As soon as I heard your accent, I died laughing.

Literally. I died.

Hyperthreading can make certain tasks up to 15-30% faster compared to similar, but non-hyperthreaded processor.

Oh collection of Mac Os .Steve Jobs?

Mac Pro (4-core, 8-core or 12-core) > any iMac

I would rather be able to RAID SSD's, upgrade my RAM to a possible 64gb rather than being stuck with a 2tb drive, and being limited to 16gb...The only thing I love about the iMac is the magnificent 27" screen.
