M2, Unit 2


 
Mac Pro
LENOVOC460 21.5" Touchscreen All-in-One PC
Machine and peripherals
The Mac Pro is a very good computer for its size but you will need to buy a keyboard.
 With the LenovoC460 you want need a keyboard and mouse as it is touchscreen but you will probably need one anyway whick you will have to buy separatly.
RAM
The RAM on these
Macs is very high at 16GB but they are configurable to 32GB with four 8BG meaning using this computer with be very smooth and there will be a very low chance it will crash making it easy to use for a design team.
Unlike the Mac this only has 4GB or RAM and a max of 8GB to install. This may not seem like much when compared to the Mac but it still provides a lot of power for a design team.
Graphics Cards
The Mac also has a Dual AMD D500 graphics processor that has 3GB of VRAM. This graphics card also has 240GB/s of memory bandwidth and 2.2 teraflops performance.
 The Lenovo has a Nvidia GF705M with 1GB, which is actually quite poor but as an alternitive it would still be enough to power the programs needed for a design team.
 
Processor
The Mac Pro  has a 6-Core processor that runs at 3.5GHz that can be configured to an 8-core processor that runs a 3GHz.
 This also has an Intel i3 Processor which again isnt very good but will run the programs needed.

 Overall I would have to choose the Mac Pro as it is much better in all of these areas but the Mac Pro does have a downside, the price. You will have to pay a significant amount more than the Lenovo but it if worth it for the extra power inthe computer.
