Picked up my 50r last night. However I am going through a move so I am super busy. I didn't even take it out of its box.

I never thought I would have that kind of self control.

Put the battery on the charger. You know. Just in case

Congratulations on the new camera and the self control.

I spend the day travelling and shooting, it's 10:45 pm here now and I've just finished the upload (well uploading the images now) to the server so the client can have them 'on the desk' tomorrow morning. Long day of work at times this photography gig. Now time for a beer. No photos to share from the last two shoots so must get round to doing some for me shooting soon. Must say though shiny new computer making easy work of the render times, old computer was showing 2.5 hours to render the images, this one said 25 minutes. Nice, I just got 2 hours of my day back

Yeah, when you divide the computer upgrade cost by the hours you get back, you get a good sense of how good the purchase was. Sounds like you got a smashing deal

I try to get a good stretch out of a machine, but at a certain point, you need to do the math. I have a PS script which is pretty intense (200+ steps, generates channel masks, merges generated images, etc). I use it as a comparative test. Not as useful as your test, but a fair relative comparison.

I was on a 4 year upgrade but stretched the last one to seven & it's still going strong as long as I don't need to do much in the way of big files any more on it, really just the rendering (output) is an issue. Still using it as tethering machine on location and with a new battery and SSD installed it's like new(ish).
I ended up buying a new iMac with SSD and the i9 installed. There is no lag even when painting in photoshop & stitching those big images. But I expected as much with 8 cores running a ~4Ghz 32Gb of CL17 ram and an SSD with IO's over 2000MB/s. Hopefully the cost per year of this will do alright & as you say a great deal to get the hours back as I can work on other things while it's outputting the images with out slowing down things at all.

My 2015 iMac is showing it's age... so I just bought a new laptop... and hate editing on the small screen. A $3k Facebook machine doesn't make much sense. Ugh.

I had mine built only 2 years ago.
6 cores (which at the time i was so impressed with)
32ram.
1tb ssd
Nvidia 1070 you

Works absolutely great with pics,. With sonys a7r3, sometimes ps would get laggy for a quick second if i had a lot happening (layers)

However for video , which I'm doing more and more of its gets slow pretty quickly ,.. add just a few effects and I need some patience
Shooting with the atamos has helped, but when i use footage captured straight by camera the fans are on non stop.. and even my proxies have to be run at lowest res

Thinking now of building something that can handl3 4k video a lot better.. it's crazy how much more is available for much less then 2 years ago.
I wanted 10 cores when i built mine but it was way out of my price range

Which CPU do you currently have?

If i recall correctly.. i7 6800k
I'm pretty sure

ha! my desktop I built in 2007, so talk about ancient

AMD FX-8150
16GB RAM
250GB SSD
NVidia Quadro 2GB card

nowadays I do my little bit of editing on an Asus Zenbook

i7-6500U (dual core)
12GB RAM
512GB SSD
Intel HD graphics

I would use it for a few more months and then replace the CPU and mobo with 2nd gen Ryzen. They just announced the specs and pricing the other day and they're really shaking up the market again.

I actually do most (actually, pretty much all) of my editing on my Surface Book 2 these days

The thing I love the most about Capture One is how efficiently it runs on pretty much any hardware

Going back from a 27" 5k iMac monitor to a laptop...pretty challenging. Don't think I could do it.

I wanted to tether my GFX to an iPad (the 50r and new iPad have the same connector), but there seems to be no wired tether option and Fuji Wireless seems too slow and inconsistent.

So I started thinking a laptop with the ability to run Capture One might be the answer.

Any suggestion? Doesn't need to be a PS machine, just basic tethering support. Lower cost preferable .
