I am currently running a late 2013, 3.5GHz Intel Quad Core i7 iMac with 512GB SSD which I bought in mid 2014 and I’ve upgraded the RAM to 32GB since purchase. I know that I will not invest in this machine in terms of repair or upgrades anymore as it has certainly served me well over the last six years. I know the day of replacing this machine is coming ever closer. It's starting to show signs of ageing as I'm having problems with Wi-Fi and occasional power off problems. I have the same machine as Mike that I upgraded in 2013 with 32GB RAM and SSD drives. Dan Cooper - Mid 2010 Mac Pro 'Cheese-grater' So all in all I have a fairly pimped Mac Pro Cheese-grater.

Mike Thornton - Mid 2010 Mac Pro 'Cheese-grater' In the first of series of articles and polls we would like to ask Mac users in the Pro Tools Expert community what Apple Mac are you currently using? But first, here is what we own and why. I think it has to be said that the jury is out so we thought it might be helpful to extend the discussion to the whole community. In Podcast 255, Dan, Peter and Mike discussed what Mac we currently have and what our plans for the future are.
