AAPL is down 1% today. I guess the market isn’t impressed.
Not impressed and way overpriced.
That for a very tiny market of people willing to pay 5k for a computer.
That’s insane!
That’s great for top of the line - maybe people processing movies or something. But what about for mere mortals?
I could write this off as a business expense...but I cannot abide with these 16:9 monitors that are being pushed on us these days by most companies. A professional monitor should not bow down to the home TV crowd.
So, does this come with at least a 16:10 monitor?
I paid like $6k for a smoking hot Mac IIfx in the 1990s. Obsolete within 5 years
I’m a build-it-myself Windows and server guy, but this sounds REALLY sweet.
Not being rich, however, I’ll wait until after I win the lottery before buying!
So, around $9500 presuming you already have a suitable power supply and case and to jam it in (call it another $500), plus mouse and keyboard. That monitor I selected isn't going to be any kind of rival to what Apple chooses, I'd better confess.
Call it $10,000 for a comparable PC workstation running MS Windows, or a fizz-bzzt-bang-pop Linux system with dubious driver support and reliability.
Finally, I'm unsure that the components I selected above will meet (much less exceed) the hardware that Apple will integrate into the new iMac Pro. My guess is that my list is full of 'second best' items. Back in 2015, the new Retina MacBook Pro hardware couldn't be replicated in the PC world at any price because the components weren't entirely for loose retail sale to consumers. Don't forget Apple gets to work with OEMs to tune onboard chips and circuitry with their own hardware code.
I’d love to have it, but it’d be totally wasted on me. I am still using my 2007 iMac.
Tangential to topic, Tim Cook demonstrated Siri putting affect into its speech. Said the same word three times, with different affect each time.When he goes (commercial) public (rather than just nerd public, he should have Siri pronounce the sentence, “I never said he stole money,” Six times:
- I never said he stole money.
- I never said he stole money.
- I never said he stole money.
- I never said he stole money.
- I never said he stole money.
- I never said he stole money.
This looks like a monster! ;-)
Why wouldn’t I go for a Surface Pro? It has a sane aspect ratio.
And assuming it runs Linux decently, very important!
sounds great... oh to have the mad $$ to spend!
wonder if it has a CD /DVD/ Blu Ray capability.. doubtful Blu Ray but having the CD is good.
My Imac24 is still good. I got the last model of MacPro that did discs for that reason. Still happy with it and using it now.
Love my mac products. Have the first iPad that came out & still works. Updated my phone to a 7 this winter.
Thanks for pings and updates sir!
It’s an awesome looking computer. Too bad I’ll never be able to afford one lol.
I’ll keep riding my 2009>2010 Mac Pro until Apple obsoletes it completely.
Then I will run Windows 10 on it until it dies lol.
I'm a pretty heavy Virtualization user and there's just no way I'd ever pay $5k for an Intel based PC to sit on my desk. Don't care if it's Mac or Windows, just not going to do it.
Wonder how many of these they're going to sell?
