Hey there,

hope I can help you a bit in the following. The selection of devices you have in mind is already very good, I'd say, all those machines are great in their own right. So I imagine that it is hard to choose between them... Since you are a developer, and since you didn't say anything about GPU-heavy tasks like gaming, video editing etc. being a thing, I think we can do without a comparison of GPU power here, but I can still do that later on in case you want me to, for video editing, gaming etc. purposes.

I think as a very first step, it makes sense to take a look at the Geekbench scores of the respective devices, so that you can get an idea about the performance difference between them. I'll also include the current MacBook Pros 15" 2019 in the comparison. Here we go (higher is better):

MacBook Pro 13" 2018, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7-8559U Quad Core:

5141 Points (Single-Core Score)

17783 Points (Multi-Core Score)

MacBook Pro 15" 2019, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7-9750H Hexa Core:

MacBook Pro 15" 2019, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i9-9880H Octa Core:

5435 Points (Single-Core Score)

28396 Points (Multi-Core Score)

5072 Points (Single-Core Score)

31359 Points (Multi-Core Score)

source: https://browser.geekbench.com/macs/426

As you can infer from the scores above, there are significant performance differences between the individual devices. The MBPs 15" have more physical cores than the 13" models - 6-Core i7 or 8-Core i9 in the 15" models vs. 4-Core i7 in the 13" model - and thus have a much higher Multi-Core speed. The Multi-Core Score is especially relevant, as most modern applications are designed to make use of multiple cores all at once. Thus, a higher Multi-Core Score directly translates into better general performance for the most part. The Hexa-Core i7 in the MBP 15" 2019 base model is a clear step up from the Quad Core i7 of the 13" model. The i9 Octa Core chips in turn are both a step up from Hexa Core i7 even, though between the two i9 chips of the MBP 15" 2019 there isn't much difference, so if you can get a model with 2.3 GHz i9 cheaper, I would rather get that.

The iMac 27" 2019 with i9 Octa Core chip is a step up from the i5 Hexa Core for the same reason, 8-Core i9 vs. 6-Core i5, thus far superior Multi-Core performance. The iMac 27" 2019 with i9 chip even outpaces the iMac Pro 27" 2017 with Octa Core by a slight margin, this is important to remember due to the fact that the regular iMac 27" 2019 with i9 chip can be bought for less money than the base model iMac Pro.

All in all, I think it's clear that the i9 chips are the top notch performers by far, no other CPU in the lineup can touch the performance of the i9 chips even remotely. The i9 in the iMac 27" 2019 being the best performer of them all.

Now, the matter of RAM: If you opt for a MacBook Pro, I would opt for 32 GB RAM (15" models) or 16 GB RAM (13" models) if you want to future-proof them, maxing out the RAM absolutely doesn't hurt in any shape or form, it enhances the longevity of the devices in question, and ensures that you will not experience slowdowns related to a lack of RAM. The RAM in the current MBPs 13" and 15" is soldered in, sadly, so you can't replace or extend it later on. Your decision at the time of purchase is the final one for the lifetime of the device, so I'd say better safe than sorry in this case, as there is no way to fix a lack of RAM later on with these machines.

A definite advantage of the iMac 27" 2019 is that its RAM is user-serviceable and that you can therefore easily upgrade it yourself. The iMac 27" 2019 supports up to 128 GB RAM (4 x 32 GB RAM modules). It has 4 RAM slots, meaning 4 RAM modules in total will fit in. A higher amount than 128 GB RAM won't work due to a limitation in the logic board.

The iMac 27" 2019 needs RAM that matches the following specification:

PC4-21300 DDR4 2666 MHz, 260-pin

Here are some examples of RAM modules that work flawlessly in the iMac 27" 2019:

  • https://www.amazon.com/Timetec-Compatible-27-inch-Display-PC4-21300/dp/B07MH3KHLY/
  • https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-Vengeance-Performance-260-Pin-CMSX32GX4M2A2666C18/dp/B01BGZEVHU/
  • https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Single-PC4-21300-SODIMM-260-Pin/dp/B071KP8CGJ/
  • https://www.amazon.com/OWC-2666MHz-PC4-21300-OWC2666DDR4S64P-macmini18/dp/B07PTRZSHB/

    Take the Crucial RAM sticks I linked to, for example: 16 GB RAM = $64... 4 x $64 = $256. Same RAM upgrade from Apple: $1000. And yes, as long as you remain within the specification above, you get the exact same RAM technically that you would also get from Apple, no technical difference whatsoever. You'll get around $750(!!!) back.

    The RAM upgrade is extremely easy to do, take a look:

  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuXKiFyzRzs

    The ability to upgrade the RAM yourself in the iMac 27" 2019 is a huge plus, as you've just seen. The iMac Pro 27" 2017 also has user-serviceable RAM. Sounds great? Well, you were rejoicing too early... The RAM in the iMac Pro isn't soldered in, so the theoretical option to extend it yourself exists. But it's mostly theoretical, as you have no easy way to physically access the RAM in the iMac Pro. Extending the RAM yourself in an iMac Pro requires a partial disassembly of the device, including unglueing the screen from the device body and taking the logic board out. The procedure is a mess, take a look:

  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fBVy26FNbE

    Furthermore, the ECC-RAM that the iMac Pro needs is fairly expensive compared to the RAM the iMac 27" 2019 needs, even if you buy third party RAM.

    As for ports: The iMacs come with more classical ports, among them USB-A, SD-Card reader, and Ethernet. They have a clear advantage here if you need any of the aforementioned ports regularly, because if you have equipment that uses those ports and own a MacBook Pro which only has USB-C, you won't get around using a dongle regularly. The iMacs have a better mixture of legacy ports and future-proof USB-C ports, while the MacBook Pros went all in with USB-C.

    -----

    Which machine would I buy if I were in your shoes? I think I'd buy the iMac 27" 2019 with i9 chip, it's the most powerful machine out of the bunch in terms of processing power, it has the same screen as the iMac Pro, the same ports as the iMac Pro (well, it has two USB-C ports less, but still...), and most importantly, you can upgrade the RAM easily in this machine and save tons of money that way. Make sure you configure in an SSD at the time of purchase, though, a Fusion Drive just doesn't do this machine justice. Add the 512 GB SSD to it at the bare minimum. The iMac Pro is IMHO not worth it compared to the iMac 27" 2019 with i9 chip, as it's a bit slower, has far less accessible (and more expensive) RAM, and is on top of that more expensive by itself already.

    In case you opt for a MacBook Pro, I'd opt for an i9 model here as well if I were in your shoes, as the i9 chips are much more powerful than the others. Less upgradable machines and worse port selection compared to the iMacs (be prepared for dongle life...), you also lose the gorgeous 27" 5K display... You gain mobile, though. If the "mobile" factor isn't of extremely high importance to you, I'd head straight for an iMac, you get far more bang for your buck in this case.

You won't need more than 16gb for gaming, really. however, if you plan on doing a lot of other things like video / art /a ton of browsing tabs, it can be helpful.

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/mac

Get the real SSD, not the Fusion Drive. The Fusion Drive is slower and its reliability is worse, as HDDs (Fusion Drives contain an HDD portion) have a higher likelihood of random failure as compared to pure SSDs. If you don't have the budget for a bigger internal SSD, I'd say get the internal 256 GB SSD at least and buy an external SSD for more storage space.

Also, the iMacs 27" have user-serviceable RAM, meaning you can upgrade the RAM yourself easily. The iMac has 4 RAM slots, meaning 4 RAM modules in total will fit in. iMacs with ordered with 8 GB RAM contain 2 x 4 GB RAM modules, two RAM slots are empty. iMacs 27" 2019 support up to 128 GB RAM (4 x 32 GB RAM modules) in total.

The iMac 27" 2019 need RAM that matches the following specification:

PC4-21300 DDR4 2666 MHz, 260-pin

Here are some examples of RAM modules that work flawlessly in the iMac 27" 2019:

Have done exactly what you are asking.

I am typing this on the lowest end 9570 (refurbished Dell Outlet) with an upgraded SSD and 97whr battery.

These are the exact parts and where I got them:

​

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BGZEVHU

​

You will have to take out the HDD to put in the bigger battery. You may also need to change BIOS settings to get the best SSD performance.

​

You will need a special screw driver to open the case, use the biggest one that will fit and remember rigthty tightly lefty lucey. :)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QZLV03O

​

Look online for how to open the case. Don't forget the two Phillips in the middle under the magnetic plate.

​

Battery life is outstanding.

Which one would you say is the best for the r4 from above? Anything better?

Sorry for all the questions. I see you on a lot of threads and being a mod as well I thought you would be knowledgeable.

Thanks in advance.

Got the 5530 (Ubuntu 16.04 pre-installed) a couple of days ago. Ubuntu had terrible wifi speeds, around 3Mb/s. Wiped out Ubuntu and installed Fedora 28 as that's what I normally use. Wifi speeds are now what it should be (866 Mb/s). In terms of spec, CPU is the Xeon E-2176M, 32 GB RAM, UHD IGZO4, 3840x2160 screen, and I installed a 1 TB Samsung PRO 970.

Have to be careful with RAM on these. I bought with 8 GB in order to buy 3rd party RAM as Dell RAM is far too expensive. Crucial advertised RAM (http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Dell/precision-5530) that were supposedly compatible with 5530, but they were not recognised. I believe CL of less that 18 are problematic. I replaced them with these Corsair memory: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01BGZEVHU. Works flawlessly.

In terms of throttling, yes, the cooling is not totally adequate for the Xeon. At almost idle, CPU temp is around 55 deg C. I ran a Prime95 stress test. Throughout the test, core temperatures of all CPUs were around 90 deg C with all the cores operating at 2.6 GHz.

In terms of battery life, not measured accurately, but I think the 3 cell battery went to 50% after about an hour or so of light browsing and watching videos. Should have gone for the 6 cell battery.

Overall, I'm quite happy with this laptop - will never go back to MacBook pros unless Apple comes up with some miracle.

I didn't save anything, but I got an Evo 970 Plus instead of a Toshiba drive. The performance boost is relatively small but I figured why not; I was going to do a clean install anyway.

This is the RAM I bought: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01BGZEVHU/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

u/MagicFlyingMachine · 1 pointr/musicproduction

That should be just fine. I just have two tips on your build (I recently bought an iMac myself):

  1. buy the smallest amount of RAM from Apple and add more yourself, you'll save quite a bit of money this way. I added this 32GB pack on top of the 8GB that came with the machine and saved a few hundred bucks. Adding RAM to an iMac is super easy, this article walks you through the process.

  2. ditch the fusion drive if you can. They're much, much slower than an SSD. You're much better off with a 1TB SSD and an external 2TB HD imo.
u/uninfinity · 1 pointr/thinkpad

Cool, thanks. I am going with Corsair Vengeance https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BGZEVHU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 and Samsung 970 M2 SSD. Which RAM are you going to get?

u/etacarinae · 1 pointr/razer

What test results do you want?

The stock 16GB of RAM is 2666MHz, so it's best to go for something that matches it.

The most popular 216GB kit is: Kingston Technology HyperX Impact 32GB 2666MHz DDR4 CL15 260-Pin SODIMM Laptop Memory, Kit of 2 (HX426S15IB2K2/32), because it has a CAS latency of 14, better than stock.

I went with this kit: G.SKILL 32GB (2 x 16G) Ripjaws Series DDR4 2666MHz SODIMM F4-2666C18D-32GRS because I couldn't get the Kingston kit in Australia and it has a CAS latency of 16 making it faster than stock and it works great.

There's also even cheaper: CORSAIR Vengeance Performance 32GB (2x16GB) 260-Pin DDR4 SO-DIMM DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) Laptop Memory Model CMSX32GX4M2A2666C18 but it has a CAS latency of 18.

Right now the Kingston is cheaper than my GSKILL kit (it was the inverse back when I bought mine) so I'd definitely go with that.

As for 2
32GB (64GB) kits, Samsung has finally released their new kit they teased last year: 2xM471A4G43MB1-CTD, but no one like corsair, kingston or crucial has one available yet, save for mushkin

cc /u/vvildstar just in case you don't see my comment.

And ignore the marketing that says 2019 only supports 64GB, it has the same CPU as the 2018 and therefore both support 64GB.

Tagging /u/kimblesss

My Ripjaws are still lost in the mail, I don't expect to get them at this point and have initiated a refund process, so I likely won't have the chance to test those out.

However, maybe you guys have seen this before, maybe not, but I did find this page where the user "jrmtz85" says he got Corsair Vengeance DDR4 CMSX32GX4M2A2666C18 running at 2666MHz. Consequently, I just ordered this exactly, which appears to be the same model from Amazon and will be trying that instead. They should arrive on Tuesday, 10/2, so hopefully I will be able to let you know if they worked for me later that evening.

I do hope the Ripjaws work out for you guys, though. If I somehow wind up receiving the Ripjaws I will try them and let you know, otherwise, I'll post again on Tuesday/Wednesday and let you know if I got the Corsair RAM working.

Edit: Tagging /u/gleep52 as well because I figure this stuff is so poorly documented outside of the NotebookReview forum thread, which is nearly impossible to search adequately, that you guys might be interested.
