Thanks Ants posted:once you have a mac with an ssd and an i5 you have to have some pretty specific needs for it to no longer suit them. i want a 1tb ssd so i'm waiting until either those are cheaper or i get ~$4000 to spend on a computer i'll probably future proof it with 16gb of RAM when I get it too though

theadder posted:what does he do with them he uses them as rolling monitors set up with some hand-made software that hooks up to the various equipment he uses The lab is basically a gigantic clusterfuck of random poo poo and since he prefers to roll all his own software and keeps his lab on its own subnet we only really help provide purchasing and warranty support when his stuff breaks the lab is a mishmash of workstation-class machines, a couple racks of various servers and video processing equipment, some imacs/mac pros, drones, etc. Also a small rolling wall of 4k TVs. For some reason there was an Ouya in there when I stopped by on Friday.

Last Chance posted:as it turns out, gigantic screen tables are not a high demand consumer product and their manufacturing costs don't outweigh their no-one-wants-this-poo poo cost especially when they're an utterly lovely resolution the first ones were like 1024x768, not even full HD. and this was after full-HD LCD prices dropped through the floor for $10K I expected it use multiple 2560x1600 IPS panels (which apple had been shipping for years by then) but no, scrub-level 1024x768 projector

yeah if you knocked the table the image would wobble because it was projected. the image would slightly wobble all the time anyway just because projectors aren't that precise and all it would take was a slightly off balance fan.
