Only once every 4 years or so. 😉

I bet the new iMac Pro, completely specced out with the max of everything, will easily top $8-$10,000.

That’s the starting price.

This from The Verge:

Apple says the computer will ship with an 8-core Xeon processor, with configurations that scale up to an 18-core Xeon processor, 5K display, and an all-new AMD Radeon Vega graphics GPU. You’ll also be able to shell out for up to 16GB of VRAM, up to 128GB of data corruption-protecting ECC RAM, and up to 4TB for SSD storage.

So, what’s the delta between an 8-core Xeon and an EIGHTEEN core Xeon? (It’s also available as a 10 core).

The base configuration is also only for 8GB VRAM, not 16, and 32GB RAM, not 128. Buying four sticks of 32 ECC RAM from Kingston via Amazon will run you $1322 — surely only a fraction of what Apple will charge.

Then of course a 4TB SSD, up from the base config of 1TB — $1500 plus or minus at Amazon. So cranking up RAM, VRAM, and the drives will mostly double the $5000 starting price. I’m going to guess $8999? That’s a SKU I could sell with a straight face.

Heck, in a world with a $1000 iPhone, what’s a $9999 iMac? Nuthin’. Bring it.

Oh, and most important of all: you know it’s a pro machine because it has a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Don’t care – want one 🙂
