Hello…watched the unboxing and enjoyed it….As I understand from you this is a high-end video processing.
I would like to learn what is high-end Photoshop and lightroom processing. A tutorial on that would be helpful to us {me} photo processing folks.
I have enjoyed your tutorials for a few years now, Thanks

Thanks, Curious about the iMac Pro, because even a fully souped up iMac Pro is less expensive than what units you were testing.

Just watched the speed test between the new MacPro,MacBook Pro, and the”trash can”. My interest is still photography and printing. I would assume all would be an improvement over the “trashcan”. And where does the
imaging screen play into this?

For my casual After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator the Macbook Pro seems the way to go – no question.

Have your had a chance to run the test with the Radeon Pro W5700X.

What about render basic preview or 1:1 images in LR (like after a shoot, 1000 images)?
