Gonna be very expensive or rather a lot of money depending on how you look at it. I think mac rumours thinbks the basic model will start at $5k. I'd expect the 18 core to start at around $8k. :-0 *meep* Meh. 1983; Apple Lisa. 5 MHz processor, 512K RAM, 5 MB HD, 12" monochrome screen. $10,000. I sold a lot of 'em. (GRIN) |

(GRIN) maybe for your particular store, but the lisa was a huge failure. they were very slow and only had lisa workshop apps. there's a ****load of them in a landfill. on the other hand, they're rare and now sought by collectors, particularly the original lisa with the (awful) twiggy drive. apple offered a free upgrade to the lisa ii with a 3.5" floppy, and nearly everyone who had the origina lisa took advantage of the offer, making an original unmodified lisa *very* rare and very valuable. |

You understand that "expensive" and "lot of money" are relative to one's desires, needs, and means, right? As I see it the iMac Pro is cheap. Moving up a little from the base model, a model equipped with a 3.0GHz 10-core Intel Xeon W processor, 64GB of RAM, a 4TB SSD, and a Radeon Pro Vega 64 with 16GB of RAM costs $9100 after an organizational discount. Compare to an SE/30, a quite capable machine in 1989. With 4MB of RAM and an 80MB HD it cost $6569, which is $13,000 in 2017 dollars. Thus a machine so powerful that its specs can't be compared to the older machine costs only 70% of what the older machine cost. Perhaps a better comparison would be a supercomputer such as the Cray, priced in the $millions. The new iMac far outperforms many of the early Crays. Cheap. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

The size of the VAT is decision made by elected officials... That that we did want was a Mini Pro! That iMac is a lump of coal, if you ask me... :-ppp -- teleportation kills |

You can build a pretty respectable PC for $6.5k too. But IMO, people would do well to consider the screen as a lens in a camera system and invest there. Youpp! The displays on these iMac Pros should be of the same standard as those in the standard iMacs and I'm not impressed by those, cosidering the price. I'd like to see the internals of the Pro in a mini Pro... -- teleportation kills |

How well would the screen available in this package compare to an iMac's 27-inch iMac with Retina 4K display screen? https://www.johnlewis.com/dell-inspi...ilver/p3337539 This seems like quite good value. -- David B. |
