My 2010 iMac seems hot enough along the top to fry an egg. Wait, it's not wide enough.... maybe a  :drunk3: piece of bacon?

(bacon = meat candy).

The configuration attached will run all the needs of ANY pre-press environment for quite some time. 

The new "Pro" models are really if you are doing 3D rendering in real time, Solid Works, any type of VR, or major code compiling. 

It also fits perfect into any form of major broadcasting. An 18 core with matching graphics card would allow you to drop HD Graphics, in real time on a multi display 1080P display. Think of any major sports broadcast with score overlays happening in real time and that is the customer.

For the rest of us we get an awesome machine for $1699 that should last 5-7 years.

Anything below the 2013 model is H-O-T! The 2012 I had also served as a space heater in the winter. It eventually fried itself and Apple replaced it with a 2013 model. My 2013 iMac doesn't even get warm.

Here, here!  :drunk3:

I think THAT just about says it all.

But I am sure there are more comments coming anyway.

Agreed though I would at least double that RAM if you are running CC 2017. Or quadruple it if the cash is available.

Yeah, it's nice to have in the winter, but not in the summer.

If I sit too close I might get a burn mark across my forehead!

True enough, I have 16GB on my iMac and once in a while run out of system memory. I'd look for a MINIMUM

Naw, my little finger started twitching and hitting the return button.

 :drunk3:  :drunk3:

Ahh, that's better.

What I was TRYING to say was I'd be looking for a bare minimum 16GB hopefully more.

All 27 inches have user replaceable ram so I usually go with stock and then upgrade via crucial.com when needed.

The new one goes to 32gb and by the time I need that crucial will probably be selling it for $20 per 8gb..lol

Here is my Activity monitor right now, using 7GB and nothing much is going on. Once Indesign, Photoshop, Acrobat, Illustrator start getting used alot, the memory use starts blowing up like a balloon.

Is there any way to take a screen shot when you go "command-tab" to show how many apps you have open?

Bacon + Maple Syrup = meat candy.

Cook bacon in oven or pan at low temp (cast iron as low as the burner can go) to get it crisp on the outside but chewy on the inside. Toss bacon in maple syrup and bake in oven to caramelize syrup. Call pharmacy to refill lipitor and enjoy.
