If you’re a Fortune 100 company... it’s going to be great!

Quality tools are expensive. Do you need a tool this powerful? If so, great, here it is, you can do your job and produce value with it. If not, it's not for you, and that's fine. The iMac Pro, iMac, and Mini are great options for desktops.

Agree. Apple got this right. There has been so much discussion about what makes a "pro." Clearly this is perfect for video/graphics/etc...what most people think of as a Mac "pro"...they should be very happy. And me (a stock trading pro on a Mac)? I'm very happy with the Mac Mini, which gives me enough processing with the need for three 4k monitors. And the iMac Pro will fit nicely between the two. Apple has covered the gamut I think.

There is alot of truth in this article. I am the niche pro, inside the niche, inside the niche...I am self employed, using my Mac Pro from home to trade stocks. Been doing it for going on 15 years now, I have always had Mac "pro" machines starting with the PowerPC towers way back, up through my current 2012 cheese grater. On average a machine will last me 7-8 years...with upgrades to RAM, video cards, and yes processors (all done by me). I passed on the 2013 simply because it wasn't really an upgrade from my current upgraded cheese grater (though I went back and forth several times before choosing to pass).

Because of my particular niche, I don't really care about 18 cores or 128G of RAM. I run 6 monitors so I care about graphic expansion (though not 4 or 5K necessarily). It is getting harder and harder to stick with the Mac...not because of anything Apple has or hasn't done, but because almost all brokerages are Windows only platforms these days. I will stick with Apple as long as I can, and with that in mind, I hope the 2019 Mac Pro is something special, because I will be looking to buy around then.

Love the site, and forums. Keep it up!

Well...then I guess beer companies need to add special locking caps that automatically close when you are in a car. Budweiser is putting profits above public safety.
