So I'm eyeing a mid 2014 MBP with core i7, yes a REAL mac. But I don't really need a laptop, and with apple pricing, the MacPros start at $3k!!! What would be a comparably spec older MacPro before they switched over to the trashcan design? Like a 2010 MacPro Intel Xeon X5650 or 2012 Xeon E5645 or something similar?
I do some photo editing, light video editing. I have an aging Core i5 750 DIY 'tosh that really need an upgrade. But I have no need for a laptop. Putting together another DIY machine is too time consuming for me at the point. What would be a reason not to go for an used MacPro? How do I know which one would give me similar performance to the 2014 MBP i7?
