iMac Pro cost blows away similar Lenovo workstation, DIY builders struggle to meet price w...
You realize one of the biggest known issues with the current Mac Pro was the video cards die very frequently due to overheating in that enclosure right? It's a known issue on the forums, amongst the faithful few who purchased that device, as well as a documented known issue for Apple support. So much so in fact that if the video card is the issue they will service your machine even if you don't have AppleCare. I mean I agree with this article and I think this new iMac Pro will provide great value - but stating that Apple is not going to ship a computer with heat problems negate the historical realities of products they have shipped in the past.macxpress said:Oh the hackintosh and Windows fanboys are all over this new iMac Pro and how they can supposedly make their own cheaper. Of course, its not a true comparison when they quote Kingston Value RAM, a standard SATA SSD, and a no so great 4K display. They also think this iMac is going to melt down once you get that 18-core Xeon with the high end AMD Vega card going at full steam for any length of time like Apple isn't testing for such a thing. Apple is not going to purposely release something like this knowing its going to overheat and not be very efficient. Its quite obvious they built a specialized cooling system for this iMac Pro.
As expensive as this is, its an excellent value for those who really need something like this. I've always found that Apple's really high end stuff is actually a great value. So while people like to complain about the supposed "Apple Tax" on regular consumer Macs, the high end products are a great value a large majority of the time.
