Applestartedselling iMac Pro on Thursday. It starts at $4,999, but choosing absolutely every single bell and whistle available in the online store increases the computer’s price to $13,348.
All iMac Pro models are outfitted with these standard features:
The company provides iMac Pro in the baseline configuration costing $4,999, which gets you the following upgradeable features in terms of the CPU, GPU, RAM and storage:
Aside from the baseline model, the following “recommended” configurations are available:
And here are the optional upgradesavailable from Apple’s online store:
Magic Mouse or Trackpad
Choosing any of the listed upgrades increases the prices of the baseline model beyond $4,999.
If you max out everything and configure your iMac Pro with the fastest CPU, the most RAM and storage, double the video memory and the Magic Mouse 2 + Magic Trackpad 2 combo, you’ll have to pay a cool $13,348 for your beast of a machine.
And if you add a VESA mount adapter kit (+$79) and some pre-installed software, such as Final Cut Pro X (+$300) and Logic Pro X (+$200), you’re looking at nearly $14,000 for the best, fastest Mac the money can buy (to be specific, we’re talking an eye-watering $13,926.98).
Of course, iMac Pro is not really an all-in-one desktop computer for the rest of us.
Aimed at professional photographers, app makers, video/music producers and VR developers, iMac Pro is the ultimate workstation for content producers rather than being a system for folks who just want to surf the web, check email, edit documents and manage photos.
The soonest you may get your standard iMac Pro configuration is December 27, or just two days after Christmas. However, buying a maxed-out iMac Pro configuration yields a 6-8 weeks wait time, meaning your dream desktop won’t ship until sometime in February 2018.
Bottom line:iMac Pro is the best, fastest and most expensive Mac Apple sells.
Is any of you guys planning to order one?
