The best and most powerful iMac ever assembled is an olive branch for creative professionals, but total and utter overkill for the consumer market. Reviewing it on balance proved tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s face it. Just like when the iPhone 5 dropped, you lust after the iMac Pro because it is Space Grey. That phone was a substantial but reasonable upgrade \u2013 the same cannot be said for the iMac Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a phenomenally powerful machine, one that far outstrips the needs of all but a select few users. It is the first Apple \u2018Pro\u2019 product that really will only be purchased by professionals with the need for its high-end internals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Available with an already-insane eight cores up to an almost incomprehensible 18, this is the Mac upgrade the professional world has been clamouring for \u2013 except we probably all though it\u2019d be in the form of a new Mac Pro, expected this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead, a brand new Apple product line is born in the iMac Pro. But do you have five grand spare?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The iMac costs from \u00a34,899 in the UK. This price gets you the base model with a configurable 32GB RAM, 1TB storage and the 8-core Intel Xeon W processor. In the US, prices start at $4,999. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apple allows you to configure at point of purchase, and the fully specced-out iMac Pro will set you back a touch over \u00a313,000. Yes, we put the comma in the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you have already balked at, this is a lot. We don\u2019t normally review such expensive computers but, you know, it\u2019s Apple and this is an important product in its history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The model we had for review was the \u00a39,188 version, with 3GHz 10-core Xeon processor, 2TB storage, 128GB RAM and Radeon Pro Vega 64 graphics with 16GB memory plus the Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Trackpad 2 in that alluring Space Grey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
