![]() 1 I also think it helps to take advantage of the large display while I work. It’s one of the main reasons to use wireless peripherals wherever possible. Being able to just push everything back out of the way is great. I often want to clear my desk to work in a notebook or use my iPad. I mounted the iMac Pro on a very reasonably priced Amazon VESA arm. Really, what’s the difference if my menu bar list is six inches long. This can also be done with Keyboard Maestro (which I did on the MacBook) but I need so many more options with this display that Moom is a better option.īartender is almost unnecessary. Moom allows me to position windows more easily and also bring up window sets. I almost never want an application window to be larger than about 25% of the screen. ![]() I’ve installed Moom to help with window management on this gargantuan display. It’s like trying to read a book that is projected on your bedroom wall. Full screen apps are comical on the iMac Pro. I’ve grown familiar to the “constrained” Retina display on a 15" Pro. The screen space is so shockingly spacious that I almost don’t know how to use it. See, it’s dumb but it’s also one of my favorite things about this monster. When the fans whirred into action for no reason at all and woke me up, that was the tipping point. I had already done all of the technical justifying I could do and I fell asleep at my MacBook Pro late one night. But try running Logic Pro on your iPad and get back to me. It’s probably less impressive to someone that only uses an iPad as a computer. I realize that’s ridiculous, but it’s a shocking change from a MacBook Pro. For the first time I sit in an office where the only sounds are the tappity-tap-tap of the keyboard. The most obvious thing about the iMac Pro is that it is silent. Now we’re back to a point where Apple desktop computers far exceed the performance and quality of their laptop computers. Until one day it could do everything I needed. Just like the kids argue about whether an iPad can do real work today, us old timers argued about whether a laptop could do real work. Laptop computers (as we called them in the old days) had reached a performance threshold that meant they could do “real” work. I remember thinking that I’d never go back to having a desktop computer. Those were some good times but it was also a relief when I replaced it with a portable MacBook Pro. I haven’t had a desktop Mac since my late, great, Mac Pro from 2006.
