Well seeing that

- none of the upgrades have been announced.

- he didn’t say anything about specs besides the memory and processor

- you can get third party RAM for the iMac Pro.

So the question remains - what point was he trying to make? Unless he like the other poster was bundling the cost of the monitor with the Mac Pro as if you have to buy both.



The 6k config comes with dual Xeons? That might not be a bad deal. I thought that was the base configuration, with dual processors available as an upgrade.

It says "up to 28 cores".


The base just says “8 core”. How many cores are per per processor?

But the point remains - with the specs that he quoted, unless he thinks that upgrading to 96GB of RAM and matching the core count is going to be more than $4000. What point is he trying to prove?


Logically the 8 core option is a single cpu with 8 cores as 2x4 would cost more.

I think the point being made is that apple is and was overpriced. What you could have bought for 10k from apple when user actually purchased his computer would have been a joke by comparison.

New data doesn't lead user to change that assessment given that the $5k base model looks equivalent to a $1k->$2k pc.

You are comparing a pc you can't even buy yet to one that was purchased previously months prior in order to come to the conclusion that there doesn't exist a pricing disparity.


They're charging $999 for a stand. I think that assumption is safe.
