RE: My Thoughts on the New Apple iMac Pro
LOL, cool review. It sounds powerful indeed! I keep my windows tower under a table next to me, so aesthetics don't matter much in my view.
I do have a question on the price, $5-16K: Are the parts you listed the high or low end, and if low, WHAT amazing hyperdrive kind of stuff is in the $15k ones? I'm not complaining about price, just wondering what more could be added to, well, add up to that.
$5K is for the base model (8 core 16Gb I think) - $16K is the fully loaded 18 core version with maxed out storage 4 TB SSD, 128 GB RAM, Top GPU etc.
Traditionally with Mac Pros they would really gouge you on the price of extra RAM and storage - so what you would do is buy the the base model with the CPU you wanted (since the CPUs were actually good value) and then buy and add the extra bits in later.
Obviously there is no option to do that here so you really pay the premium for the extras.
Sounds like they are aiming at movie animation studios. A private user would be hard pressed to go without for two weeks, while a company can buy 10 or 15 of them and have back ups. Thanks
Yes true.
