What a boondoggle. This thing will cost you 50% more in parts and will have a miniscule software library. The new XCode development was just announced. It will take 2 years for it to get traction and that’s too late.

Here we go again.
Spec out an equivalent, including the integrated 5K display and efficient cooling.
Go ahead.

Wow,you’re consistent.

Why say things about Apple that aren’t remotely true in this day& age? Everyone who reads these threads are tech savvy enough to know this. So why post fals3 statements like this?

Like a moth drawn to a flame, the mindless ones waste their time searching for Apple threads to impart their hatred for all things Apple. And get burnt in the process. Must be so gratifying for you.

Spec wise, you’d do well to build an equivalent machine for the same price. Software, it will run anything a current Mac will run. The New APIs are obviously (given the demos) already in the hands of some major players, and I’m sure there are some developers who are already scrambling to get some AR ideas into play so they can be available for a few Million users who will, if they can run iOS11, be able to run it when iOS is released this fall.

Was WWDC a original iPhone/iPad reveal? No. But it’s obvisous that they’ve been burning up a lot of candles. iMac Pro is top of the line now, I look forward to seeing what they do to update the Mac Pro.

5k display? You cannot use a toolbar in many programs with 4k. You cannot make bigger.
I use 1920 x 1080 screen resolution so I can easily see the buttons.
I suspect people who use 4k and now 5k create those hard to read websites with tiny fonts.

You are WRONG, as usual. I just priced out the cost to duplicate the low-end iMac Pro in a Windows PC workstation version is about $7,092.00.

See the details of the pricing here.

Two years for Xcode 9? Don’t think so. It’s likely Apple will require Xcode 9 for AppStore submissions this fall.

For Apple’s ‘Pro’ markets... If the iMac Pro provides a performance improvement that helps Xcode, Final Cut, Adobe users get work done & improves profit margins... Apple will have no trouble selling new iMac Pro systems to these folks.
