Apple's new iMac Pro is both like and UNlike any iMac we've seen before... But is it a positive step in the right direction, or is it a mixed blessing?

That single change bumped the iMac Pro's price from $4,999 to $7,399. Next, I chose the 128GB memory option, up from 32GB in the standard configuration. The price was now $9,799. Quadrupling the size of the onboard storage from 1TB to 4TB increased the iMac Pro's price to $12,599.14 Dec 2017

MacBook Pros and all laptops I believe now - memory soldered onto the motherboard. 21" iMac, no memory access panel. 2013 Mac Pro, memory and SSD upgradable, GPU not upgradable. CPU, a wild lengthy PITA, but upgradable. With the iMac Pro, you'll have to remove the display (void the warranty) if you want to upgrade the memory yourself, you can box it up and hoist to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple service center to have them upgrade your memory - for a nominal fee I'm sure. But yeah. It's upgradable.

According to the Federal Trade Commission it's illegal for a company to void your warranty for opening the device, removing "Void if removed" stickers, using 3rd party parts, or having the product serviced by a 3rd party. Companies just say they'll void your warranty for doing all of that because they figure no one has the time, patience, or money to sue them. But it is illegal nonetheless.

And that’s ignoring casing, design, assembly, shipping etc. Also, it’s built in the US, for anyone who cares about that. I know people love to hate Apple, but I think they sometimes deserve some credit.

Here's the thing on IMac pro. You can shave off 400 bucks off linus listed priced. But not a lot can be changed. CPU: it is a xeon CPU, you can't compare it to consumer ones. It is rated for intense workloads and have support for ECC memory, which most consumer CPU doesn't. RAM: you can't replace ECC memory with normal memory just because it is cheaper. It is not a fair comparison. Screen: the screen used is a 5k screen. And is calibrated for color accuracy and selected for color gamut which a lot of professionals needed, that's why people opted for Eizo screens rather than normal consumer screens. A 4k screen most of you guys listed aren't rated for the same thing. GPU: you can list anything but nvidia GPUs here. Most Apple apps uses OpenCL acceleration, using Nvidia GPUs will lose the benefits. And people said you can't upgrade it. Not all professionals are system builders. They just wanted a workable machine to finish the job. A prebuild like this save them time, they don't have to find all different retailers to solve a problem. To them, 400 500 bucks is worth it compared to the hassle it will take for them to build a system and troubleshoot themselves. Remember, this is NOT a gaming PC.

Oh here we go with the whole Xeon vs. 'consumer' CPUs justification. Many of the same people (working pros and creative agencies) that were buying Mac Pros for their "intense workloads" up until 2015 migrated to the 2015 5K i7 iMac, as it was less expensive and outperformed the 2013 8-core Mac Pro in a LOT of tasks - especially if they were using adobe graphic design and photography applications. If you needed heavily multithreaded tasks for video, animation, rendering, or whatever, then you were SOL and you were stuck with the 8-core Mac Pro of some sort if you weren't willing to leave the Apple ecosystem. But most creative pros didn't seem to have an issue leaving those "pro level" Xeon CPUs for 'consumer' CPUs to do the same work they were doing on Mac Pro. Also, there were also a lot of creative Pro who left the Mac Pros for MacBook Pros - and just plugged them into a 27" display. Again, consumer grade mobile components to take their work with them. The same goes with the RAM. So with that, to me, if "the real world people using these machines in real world work environments" migrated from Xeon Mac Pros to i5 and i7 iMacs to do the same work with zero issues, then it's definitely valid to compare Xeon workstations to non-xeon workstations performing the same tasks and workloads. And because I was willing to make such a comparison for my “professional workstation”, I bought and built an 8-core 7820x system that does the same work as my old 2009 Mac Pro, only far faster and more efficiently, and I only spent $2,100 USD vs. $4,000 on a 2013 8-core Mac Pro that would have given me an marginal performance boost. And since I already have a good 27" color accurate display (which doesn’t NEED to be 5K for my work), I didn't feel I needed to pony up $5,000 for the iMac Pro -- but I can still do the same work on my workstation as I could on any Mac with or without a Xeon CPU. Even if I spent $1,500 on 5K display, it would still only cost me $3,600, which is only $300 more on a BTO 5K i7 iMac with 32GB of RAM and a 500GB SSD. Or $1,400 less than an iMac Pro with similar specs. YMMV, but I'm glad I switched to PC. No buyers remorse whatsoever.

Honestly as big PC enthusiast and huge Apple hater, I gotta say that this Imac is actually pretty damn good. $5k is a very good price for everything you get. Good job this time Apple. Edit: My biggest complaint is the size of storage space. So I will concede that 1tb is not enough and you can't even add more later. So that for sure is not enough for a $5k price tag. Not sure if a platter based hdd would even fit but if it could, they should have also included at least a 2tb hdd.

It's worth noting that the "FirePro" cards in the previous Mac Pro were actually HD7x00 cards with custom drivers and their names changed in the BIOS (hence why Hackintoshes of the time showed 280X cards as D700s, because they were just 6GB HD7970/280X cards). So if Apple wanted they could ask AMD to unlock more Vega compute features in the OSX drivers.

Linus did a video earlier showing that the same benchmark on identical pc/mac configurations always runs much better on Windows, because of the more open access Windows gives to its hardware.

Of my 2 PC's, my desktop and laptop, my desktop has an i5 6500 and my laptop has an i7 7700HQ. My i5 got a time of 5:07 and my i7 got, as stated, 3:46, both at default settings on version 2.79. My confusion as to the settings LTT tests at arise from videos like "Should YOU Upgrade to Ryzen?" where the Ryzen 7 1700 got a time of 5:40, and there's no way my i5 outclasses that CPU.

Not sure why the comment on not using FirePro gpu's anymore. There are no FirePro gpu's anymore unless I'm mistaken. It's Radeon and Radeon Pro now. AMD only makes a single Vega gpu for professional use and desktop use. There's zero difference at the silicon level. This is the Radeon Pro Vega 56. It's the modern equivalent of what AMD used to call FirePro.

"Upgradable" And yet still has a glued screen and proprietary SSDs (fucking why?). Also, like you said on the WAN show, they're providing shit support for it. Also, thermal throttling. And why the FUCK would they remove Target Display mode and video input ports?! Also, sometimes the higher-CPU specced iMacs have different mobos or coolers, so upgrading to a higher model of CPU may not work as well as if you had just bought it with that CPU in the first place.

Nmotsch idontwannagivemyrealname the higher spec’d iMac Pros do not have different mobos or cooling solutions. The display is not glued on? It’s magnetically attached and is made to pop off and pop right back in. Target Display Mode is really irritating, I hope it comes back, but I think Apple doesn’t see any reason to bring it back unfortunately. The SSDs are proprietary but upgradeable and they’re fast. So I don’t now why the proprietary aspect is an issue. Also “shit support” I wouldn’t say that. I haven’t heard of any bad support cases. And they’re still much better then the support you’d get from either building your own workstation, or from companies like Dell or HP.

The new Mac Pro will be modular and user upgrade able, not this one. I wouldn’t expect Apple to repair it anyway. If I was apple and asked only one thing from the consumer, to not open the damn case, AND HE DOES IT ANYWAY I’d be pretty pissed too.

Pretty cool, but I think my next Mac will be a hackintosh, I don’t know if anyone has taken notice but over the last 2 years or so it’s gotten a lot simpler to build one, in terms of compatible hardware and reliable support. Nvidia has drivers out now, so you can throw in a 1080 Ti in it. You can use AMD Ryzen CPUs reliably etc. Plus it’s always more fun to build your own system. Also, people please stop complaining about how tired you are or how early it is. If you wanna sleep then go damn well sleep, nobody’s forcing you to watch this right now.

Fantasticxbox it’s not for use as my main machine, more of a project, I want to build a powerful system with the option of running macOS, the only really demanding applications I use is Autodesk Revit and it only runs on Windows anyways, so for my plan to use it as a rendering station as well as for light gaming is all in a windows environment which is fine. The thing is that macOS is my personal OS of choice, I find it more elegant and user friendly, and it suits my workflow best. Widows just irritates me, I only use it when I have to which is basically only for Revit. But if I’m going to build a system I’d like to take a crack at making it a hackintosh, that way if it does turn out to be reliable on macOS it could possibly be used as my main machine. The reliability and support has gotten a lot better than ever before, and anyone’s mileage may vary depending on the specific hardware they choose. You should check out Snazzy Labs channel, he has a few cool builds and Dom Esposito has my build of choice, he built it inside a PowerMac G5 case which is my plan. But like I said, it’s not for my main machine, I’m still pretty well sorted for now, I already have a maxed out late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro and it still runs beautifully and should still give me many more years. I also have a 2010 Mac mini from before, I’ve installed macOS server on it and I’ve connected a bunch of drives to it, I use it for a file server, a time machine backup system and for downloading large files and stuff like that, it also still runs flawlessly. Anyways enough of me babbling, what I’m saying is that my computing needs are already pretty much solid for a good few more years, this is just a sort of extra project that I want to take on and see where it goes. Also, as much as I adore my old Mac mini, anyone would be silly to buy one in 2018, it’s too expensive for what you get. Hopefully this year Apple revives the Mac mini and makes it great again.

The macOS is far superior to Windows. I have used various different operating systems before settling on macOS in 2007 -- and if there was something better I would go for it. I have used: Windows, OS/2, Coherent, IBM DOS, MS DOS, Windows NT, Windows 95/98, Windows XP the Windows 7, as well as a Sun Sparcstation running SunOS or Solaris as well as Linux -- at home. (I am sure I have missed a few). I am not a gamer, I do enterprise development work and I do from time dabble/play around with Xcode - but nothing serious (nothing that would lock me into macOS). I do support Windows 10 for my parents -- which I find a nasty mess. Day to day at home I use macOS, but also have a Linux server at home. I would not recommend building or using a Hackintosh for professional purposes, it just is not worth it. If it is a hobby machine -- then sure -- go ahead and play.

You could literally build a whole nother mid to high end pc for that cost. With the rate of tech development, this computer would be considered out of date in roughly 5 years, less if you are one of those "professionals" that require the absolute best hardware. Literally the whole $5k is down the drain with nearly zero options for reusing components (unless you want to continue using the atrocious included mouse and keyboard).

"To remove features" HAHA I was SO mad about the missing mini video port! Yeah they upgraded to usbC but then I had to wait for a fancy converter (dviD-usbC).

While I would too prefer something like a Titan XP for efficiency reasons in an enclosed space, there's 3 reasons why that woudn't make sense: 1. Vega GPUs though mediocre at gaming, excel at compute performance (aka mining), and Apple has spent years fine tuning macOS kernel and driver parameters for GCN 2. Vega is also a very incredibly efficient architecture, just not at higher clockspeeds/voltages, as evidenced by all the APUs and GL. Apple's Pro Vegas are likely to be binned. Desktop Vegas are effectively overclocked reference models, as they weren't nearly fast enough to beat Pascal at gaming, and probably never will be. 2. Nvidia drivers on Linux and Unix-based systems (except Windows, which is technically Unix based too) sucks balls. The famous Torvalds "Fuck you nvidia" comes to mind.

I just wished they used something with professional drivers, because those make a difference in a lot of ways.

I agree, but I gotta be the annoying one and say that Windows isn’t based on Unix. It was once, but Unix was completely abandoned in 1982.

6:43 that animation is wrong, though the airflow *might* go down (which is actually going perpendicular of the screen), due to lower density of warm air, it will always tend to go up.

For a primary monitor a cheopo AOC 1080p 22" display is sweet enough. Just let me swap the video card to match Freesync or Gsync and to choose whether or not I need double precision. Personally I run a FX 8150 / GTX 960. I can transcode 60 minutes of 720p ~4000kbps .OGG to HEVC 800kbps in ~10 hours in Handbrake, in the summer I can smell the burning dust and solder. Since the Spectre Windows Update Asus AI Suite 2 no longer works so no more fan profiles until I remember what I used to rely on on... fanspeed.exe or some shit, that was years ago.

Yea, but what it really comes down to is whether or not you want a Mac. Final Cut Pro is a pretty good reason for a lot of video editors.
