You guys should be so lucky to lose your minds about the merits of 128 vs 256 GB SSD. I can think of a lot of companies where there employees are not aloud to store files on the company laptop, all files must be on company servers. The same could be said about education laptops as well, I am sure many schools shudder at the idea of personal photos or videos on the school laptops. So relax. Someone go freak out on the $3,700 Dell Alien laptop with pink trim.

Yeah and 2 years down the line I will need to drop another $5000 to be able to get the iMac to match anything current, whereas with my Lenovo, or my custom build, I will spend a few hundred dollars to update it to the latest, and be well ahead of what the iMac does.

Also, this device is coming in December! That's a lifetime in PCs. Let's compare prices when it arrives.

Finally, let's actually wait for iMac Pro benchmarks, because I suspect the inevitable throttling is not gonna make all those CPUs look so good.

IOW, I will be impressed if Apple releases similar pricing on the Mac Pro.

You don't have to state the obvious of course you can build one cheaper but it will look like crap! Imagine high end marketing company with a bunch of builds and then iMac Pros. CEO says "get that crap out of here, its horrendous". The iMac Pro will exceed high end throughput needs for about 99% of companies furthermore I don't want IT screwing things up every week with Windows updates breaking things along the way. I see this routinely in large 500+ employee companies, "this is and that is down again". IT doesn't support Macs for some reason they just work!

Why even compare computer builds if I need 1000 iMac Pros tomorrow? Who would support these builds? Dell doesn't even make something comparable. 
When Computer Science Majors now prefer MBPs to Win boxes that is saying a lot for what Apple does with it's 7% share of market and 90% profits.

I found these results to be consistent with my Apple Watch 2 about 6 months ago when I needed open heart surgery for a Mitral Valve Prolapse. My heart was going into A Fib at 120-180 bpm when I got to the hospital and was monitoring it with their equipment. It was strange because if I stood up my heart would go back into normal rhythm to about 80 bpm and the Apple Watch was always within 1 bpm to the hospital equipment. Today I monitor my heart rate regularly with the Apple Watch and it helps remind me when I haven't taken my Metoprolol medication if its too high. 

If Amazon sold them for $10 is that really selling or just giving them away? It's like Amazon giving you a brand new wallet but the money you put in it is theirs not yours.

Even though I said this would happen months and months ago, it still boggles my mind. I wouldn't be surprised if returned Note 7's found their way back in consumers hands with no change at all. "It is apparent that some refurbished Note 7s accidentally received no upgrades by accident and we are looking into a 16 point check to eliminate this." This will only keep the memory of fiery Note 7s in peoples minds and hurt Samsung even further.
