Should I buy an iMac Pro for work?

Apple hasn't updated the Mac series to work since 2013. At the time, it was a Mac Pro. In 2017, there was a “minor” update of this lineup, but nothing new was shown. In the middle of the year, an updated iMac with the “Pro” prefix was presented at WWDC. It cannot be called radically new, but it is quite a powerful update and replacement for the existing model range for professionals. What you need to know before buying and is it worth buying at all? Let's figure it out.

iMac Pro design in a nutshell

It's the same as previous iMacs, but the body color is now Space Gray. It looks quite impressive, the device feels “new”. Adds fuel to the fire keyboard, mouse and trackpad also in dark vionanni. The icing on the cake is the black Lightning cable. This is very cool!

Other visual highlights are no different. The body material is aluminium. There are quite large bezels on the sides of the screen. Aluminum stand. The case is thin at the corners, but is quite convex in the center, which gives the effect of thinness of the device.

iMac performance

Here is something to talk about. The prefix "Pro" is here for a reason. This is a tool for professionals, it is designed to work with graphics, video and development. Its price and features will not allow you to buy an iMac to watch YouTube or surf the Internet. But let's take a closer look at the iMac Pro's specs, not its cost.

Processor: The heart of the device is a server processor from Intel, more precisely Intel Xeon. It is based on 8 physical cores and 16 threads. And that's just the base version! In older versions, it is possible to customize the processor for 10 or 18 cores. Just wow. 14nm processor die manufacturing process, Kaby Lake series. This keeps performance high and power consumption low. The frequency reaches 4.5 Ghz, and the processor cache size is up to 42 MB.

Video: The graphics system from AMD - VEGA is responsible for working with the image. A fairly new development that showed good results for a reasonable price. Considering the close cooperation between AMD and Apple, the establishment of their video cards did not come as a surprise. It is a pity that GTX TITAN, or GTX 1080 TI is not installed, in my humble opinion, this would be a better quality product.
To work with video materials, such a card is more than enough, 11 teraflops of pure energy, 22 teraflops when working with 1/2 accuracy. Warehouse memory capacity is 8GB or 16GB, data transfer rate is up to 400 GB/s. With these features, iMac Pro is designed to work with VR and its design.

RAM: Why am I highlighting this as a separate item? It is here of the DDR4 ECC standard, which is designed for server stations. The timings of such a memory are simply cosmic. The volume here is also colossal - up to 128GB. To work with Final Cut Pro X will be great! The frequency is 2666 MGhz, I would like 3000 MGhz.

Interfaces for connection and screen: Here everything is familiar. 4 ports USB Type-A (regular USB), USB Type-C (aka Tunderbolt 3), Ethernet, SD slot. Having 4 Type-C, I would advise you to buy an adapter from Satechi for more convenient work.

The screen here with a diagonal of only 27 inches. Retina matrix, IPS technology with support for the P3 standard, which is ideal for "coloring" video without screen calibration. Reference screen for working with visual content. Video editing and photo editing will be only a pleasure.

So is it worth buying an iMac Pro or not?

iMac Pro is definitely worth buying! However, there are a few "buts". This is a tool for the job, so the cost in the US starts at $4,999. You must understand what it is for you. Then this will be your choice!

This is exactly that unique device that could at first sight fall in love with not only Apple technology fans with its classic design, but also ordinary users with its practicality and functionality. In a fragile case fit so many useful chips that not every personal computer can boast of. Bright IPS display, powerful processor and powerful graphics - what else do you need for happiness?
