    Where is the bargain?

    • Crocfreefree on 18/05/2018 - 09:28
      +9

      Yes, only a bargain relative to the RRP. It's a pro machine with a Xeon. A rule of thumb is:

      "If you don't know why you'd need a Xeon, then you don't need one."

        I’m not sure why a workstation would need a Xeon anymore. Everything graphics, maths, simulation etc seems to be done by the GPU these days.

      Can you find those specs and screen for cheaper?

      • CheapDave on 18/05/2018 - 09:47

        The Xeon w processors are a waste of time and money. Basically a rebadged i7/i9 at twice the cost with ecc support. ECC memory is not required for what most people use their computer for.

        • TheContact on 18/05/2018 - 10:01
          +2

          ..because most people are spending 7k on workstation class machines?

          Regular iMacs are for most people, this is for people who need the accuracy of ECC memory and workstation grade GPU acceleration.

          That said, 1 year warranty is pretty crappy for the professional market.

        • iDroid on 18/05/2018 - 10:12
          +5

          @TheContact: Agreed.

          Would a >$7000 PC not qualify for something like a 3yr statutory warranty here in Australia?

          I'd expect a >$7000 machine to last 5+ years minimum.

        • TheContact on 18/05/2018 - 10:25

          @iDroid: I'd expect so. I believe Apple downgrade the service you get after the first year to comply with laws though. I don't actually like Apple stuff, so have no actual experience here..

          So while on the whole probably better than most consumer grade stuff, I don't think you'd be getting the next day service like you would on say Dell workstations in the following years.

        • ubcool on 18/05/2018 - 12:43

          @TheContact: say say 1 year but legally they really mean 2 years.

        Ignore the negs - this is a valid question.

        (If the answer is no, say so, negs are not an ideal way to answer a valid question.)

    Why would you get the top-of-the-line imac Pro 5K but get the lowest options available? TGG is offering the worst options available for every component: RAM, CPU, GPU, Storage. This build even skimps on the mouse.

        Is that the model that takes over and becomes president of China?

        No good?

        Xi, it was only a joke. Don't jinping on my sense of humour.

        • starbearer on 18/05/2018 - 10:13

          Nah… The original Xi passed a law to allow him to be president for life

    I always wonder this…just imagine what you can get with desktop PCs with that amount of dough…

    • Crocfreefree on 18/05/2018 - 09:33
      +7

      Spec for spec, not much difference. The iMac Pro may actually be cheaper. It's the Xeon grade components that push the price into the stratosphere.

      When it came out, someone did a spec for spec build against a Dell, and the iMac Pro was actually $100 cheaper:

      https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/maxed-imac-pro-costs…

      However, bang for buck, PC prices fluctuate a lot more over time, especially in Australia. Apple keeps theirs fixed for years.

    • dcep on 18/05/2018 - 09:34

      definitely not slim at under 10kg with 1 cable

      • iDroid on 18/05/2018 - 11:43

        Not exactly important factors for a desktop machine (even if an all-in-one).

      Go on then, ensuring it's workstation class, not gaming.

    While the price may seem high to all the PC gamer crowd this is actually a very nice package for someone who needs a multi-core WORKSTATION..!

    Please show me an alternative 8 core PC with a 16:10 5K resolution monitor. I guarantee you it will be a lot more than this..!

    However, if you don't need 8 cores+ then the standard imac would probably suit you better. And if you can wait a little while the new imacs may even get the 6 core upgrade..

    • Caped Baldy on 18/05/2018 - 11:59

      That's likely true because of the weird resolution.
      I feel like it's possible to do a DIY build and a get yuge OLED monitor for less than $6k.

      It's still a fair price for anyone wanting to go into that ecosystem.

      • nubix on 18/05/2018 - 13:23

        $6000 will probably get you a UP3017Q with some pocket change left over unfortunately
