Apple's new iMac Pro is launching tomorrow with a $5,000 price tag.
Let's take a look at the lowest end model, which is going for $5,000 > CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2620 V4 2.1GHz 8-Core Processor ($408.99) > 32GB DDR4 @ 2666MHz ($370) > 1TB PCIe SSD ($620) > AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 GPU with 8GB ($500)
And this is for the lowest-end model. Components can be expanded to: - 18 core Xeon (Ranging between $2200 - $3100 depending on model) - 128GB DDR4 @ 2666MHz ($1630) - 4TB PCIe SSD ($2600 - $3300)
You can build this exact PC yourself and save about $2000, and that's just for the lowest end model. I can't even fathom how much the upgraded models will cost.

OR just get a single socket epyc and save yourself even more money
Anyway yeah, apple is just trolling at this point, this will be trashcan 2.0.
Jose Wilson
hey dumbass - you forgot the motherboard. and speakers. and (really nice) keyboard and best trackpad in industry. Oh and you forgot the case. And the screen on iMac is better than LG trash (not interrupted by wifi etc). l2maths
Jackson Bell
Isn't the imac screen 6-bit + FCR IPS? How come Apple didn't just use true 10-bit oled/led displays like everyone else?
Jack Jenkins
Part of the price is the form factor.
Daniel Gray
Lol desperate I like Apple but it's clear they've hit a ceiling in terms of market growth and are now looking to cut costs and raise prices to compensate Good to have your employer buy for you, bad to buy for yourself
Brody Peterson
Why do you care about form factor in a desktop when the point of a desktop is to stay in one place
Daniel Reyes
Which is going to be faster for programming? This or 2017 iMac 27" with 32GB RAM and i7 7700 4.2GHz?

Because I have a computer and monitor that takes up as much space as your monitor.
Connor Cox
how low will it throttle........
Jonathan Lopez
Also I do bring my iMac to my cabin here and there, it's nice to be able to just grab it and have everything I need.
Ayden Ramirez
>just use Windows
How disgusting.
Luke Adams
But the form factor is stupid and inefficient. Also this
Dominic Brooks
>But the form factor is stupid and inefficient That's like your opinion, man Also these
Dylan Phillips

No wonder you're mad, breeder.
Caleb Edwards
If you're pricing up similar PC specs you've already missed the point. A "similar" PC build won't run FCP/Motion.
Wyatt Robinson
>Not being homophobic
Landon Martin
Who are you to tell anyone what they can and can't put in their butts?
Lincoln Barnes
You act like you can even get xenons on windows
Thomas Thomas
There are people with too much money who need to spend it some how, Arab Sheiks, trust fund kids and It Girls need this.
Adrian Gomez
You can't with OS X either.
Kevin Brooks
I know we love to meme and larp here a lot but remember guys: homosexuality is an unforgivable sin worthy of an eternity in hell

James Morris
Cry more autist. I'll deus vult in your tight little arsehole and you will enjoy it, faggot.
Mason Russell
I love drinking the delicious, salty jealousy from poorfags. It sustains me. We need more hate threads like this.
Nathan Jones
>muh poorfags macOS is the best OS, that's why it's superior not because spending money like a nigger on welfare is a good thing
Christian Phillips
Apple usually over cost ram 3 to 4 times price market and sell GPU as profesional price.
