iMac pro space grey 5k display, most powerful mac ever.
rip mac tower
- 18 core xeon_niko
- shut up and take my moneykona
- all $5K of it.capn_ron
- and changekona
- $5K lowest specfadein11
- I wonder how long until the refurbs show up onlinejaylarson
- the 5k won't get you 18 cores lolernexbcn
- i feel like this is kind of like razor blades.
"you know what would be better than 5 blades... 10 blades"
"you know what would be better than 18core? 100 core?"kona - I can see why they did it but can't understand why they did it. If you're rendering or doing serious, heavy lifting on an iMac then you need your head examined.face_melter
- @face, I think they're about to change that perception ... we'll seemonospaced
- Impressive machine. But at that price, I'd expect them to sook ma plumbs.monoboy
- Unless you do video work, probably overkill imo. I'll stick with a Macbook Pro and monitor.monoboy

- I guess this will act as a transition whilst they rebuild their Mac Pro?!ideaist
- Why? it is superpowerful and includes a 5k screenfadein11
- mobility would be my answer. it needs to be mobile for mobile pros.capn_ron
- the redesigned modular Mac Pro is coming 2018 yeahernexbcn
- Why don't you put it in one of your Whole Foods recyclable bags for mobility then capn_ron
lolkona - hahaha@! I am going to be that guy that sets up an iMac at the coffee shop each day. Us Rockstar Creatives need out Whole Foods fix.capn_ron

The iMac Pro is a beast, if I were Apple though I wouldn't put Xeons in that thing, Intel is releasing i9 now with core counts from 10 to 18 and that would have given them a better base price than the 5k this thing costs.
Save the xeons for the new modular Mac Pro next year.
- It's the same bullshit as usual, you can't upgrade it, it'll sit for years without a refresh and you can get the same parts in a PC for a lot less.zarkonite
- don't tell me that I just built a hackintosh, but I still think these iMacs are nice if you can afford iternexbcn
- I wish they would consider the pro market, but all signs point to a giant raised middle finger.zarkonite
- the new Mac Pro was confirmed April this year but it comes out 2018 https://daringfireba…ernexbcn

Live feed; they are gonna redesign the apple store, its absolutely beautiful :p lol then I clicked the close button, end of story.

Nice to see the price drop on the 13" mbp. $5k for that imac pro thought, what? I could build a balls-to-the-wall PC with dual GTX-1080, max'd out ram, the best cooling, etc. for half that.
- yeah... ridiculous price for the imac... will stick to buying refurbed MBPs for another year (if need-be)PonyBoy
- Apple STILL going for Max cores. 18!? jesus ... only like 20 people need that.monospaced
- That's a dumb form factor to max out, we've burnt a lot of iMacs with rendering around here...zarkonite
- good point ... maybe that's why they improved the internalsmonospaced
- Yeah, the heat 18 cores will kick out is pretty phenomenal when pushed at full tilt. My work PC has 12, with Xeons, and it can burn like a sun when I render.face_melter
- Um, for the last 20 years you could build a better PC than a mac, for cheaper. Where the hell have you been?CygnusZero4
- UP TO 18 cores, the base model doesn't have that lolernexbcn
- Nevermind, They put the 128GB HD's in the MBP's, not a price drop. FUCK YOU APPLE!!!section_014
- 128gig?? that's barely a scratchdisk let alone enough space to load up any apps... what the hell are they thinking?PonyBoy

Does anyone know if ANY of the new iMacs allow upgrades to RAM through the little door on the back?
- I'm asking John Gruber on Twitter he's there...ernexbcn
- A Tim Cook joke comes to mind but to answer, I don't think so, watched the keynote, dont think it was mentioned.********
- My 2012 27" iMac has accessible RAM, but I don't know about these new ones. I'm due for an upgrade, so it's either new iMac or Hackintoshmonospaced
- you mean the Pro models or the normal ones?ernexbcn
- If there's a "little door on the back" that's a good sign that something is accessible. Apple eschews such things most of the time.evilpeacock
- ANY iMacmonospaced
- I was curious if anyone knows if there's a little door on the back. I can't tell based on their official photos.monospaced

I see non soldered modules in this animation.

By the way, they confirm new Mac Pro is being developed with new displays as well on the iMac Pro press release:
- well can't link to the image, it's on the press release linkernexbcn
- yes pleaseGnash
- Cool. But without an image of the back panel there is no way to tell if the ram is user swappable (reasonably) like on older models.monospaced
- ernexbcn1
- I hope it weighs a lot otherwise it's going to take off when those fans go nuts.face_melter
- Need larger photo to whack off... uh... to use as a desktop wallpaper please.
:)kona - The website is beautifulESKEMA
- Hm. Not sure that helps. This might necessitate a full screen removal to access them. Ughmonospaced
- There's no door on the official photo of the Mac Pro, so I don't think it is. Oh well.monospaced
- Pay upwards of $7k and you can't even swap the ram. GG Apple, GG.face_melter
- damn $$$Gnash

"Apple’s new iOS file manager coming this fall as part of iOS 11
iPhone and iPad file manager provides access to local files and cloud storage."Finally! It seems that a lot of the iPad announcements today were a direct response to Surface.
- plus drag and drop, back when they allowed split screen apps they should have implemented all these featuresernexbcn

Is the MacBook Pro worth looking at yet?
- they are very similar to the previous recent update, they are i7 kaby lake now, but you can't buy them with more than 16GB of RAMernexbcn
- Really? Thats the max and you can't upgrade it?sofakingback

Apple stock fell after announcing a new version of iOS and the 'HomePod' at its big conference (AAPL)
- their stock goes down after every announcement.inteliboy
- happens every timeernexbcn
- never sleepsutopian
- No it didn't. The announcement happened at 1pm est and the stock was already down 1.5% hours before that.monospaced
- can't wait to upgrade my OS, so my ipad can run even slower!moldero
- All this article says is that AAPL was an insanely good investment this year, beating the market with double its returns.monospaced
- mono just can't stand it if others don't love apple in the way he masturbates to his stock reports.imbecile
- that makes no sense ... this chart and headline are simply falsemonospaced
- but it's cute to see you've also decided to talk shit about me while simultaneously showing you know jack shit about the matter, just like utopian :)monospaced
- And since when is enjoying 2,563% returns something to make fun of? Trust me ... it's something masturbation worthy.monospaced
