Oh how much did we spend on this being 100% honest with you guys I actually don't know James how much did we spend on this thing six grand is that the baseball not quite but almost oh it's too bad praying to the Apple gods doesn't make their products any cheaper okay so Apple is finally demonstrating in a way with like a real actual product that you can really actually buy that they give a shit about the enthusiast prosumer / professional all those categories because for a while there you could make a pretty strong argument for them just giving exactly 0s about any of those groups of end-users this is the iMac Pro and I have been known to give Apple crap about throwing Pro on anything that they're trying to sell to home users who want to feel all warm and fuzzy and professional but this thing does look pretty Pro spec wise our model rocks a 27 inch display 5k z on W the W is for workstation Pro workstation okay we're on the same page so far 32 gigs of ECC memory one terabyte SSD a Vega 56 graphics card okay that's not especially professional FaceTime camera or Thunderbolt 3 ports and something that I've been asking for proper support from Apple 4 for quite some time something I actually didn't realize that this was gonna have until I saw it on the box oh I'm sorry Brendan wow this is a lot of packaging gotta give Apple credit they they want stuff to get to you in one piece did I did I say what the thing was that I had 10 gigabit networking because for years Apple has been on the no we don't need 10 Gigabit LAN because we have Thunderbolt Train but the reality is that Thunderbolt is a point-to-point connection which is great for end user or prosumer but as soon as you need to share resources Ethernet is the way to go like if our workplace was set up around the Mac it would be nearly impossible for one person to pick up where someone else left off on a project if somebody phoned in sick for example what the hell look at all the packaging for this power cord first of all make sure you open this your power cords in there it's got a little pull tab then this in tight look at the box they designed to hold this power cord I mean I'm all for a great unboxing experience and everything but this was three pieces I mean three easily recyclable brown cardboard pieces mind you but like four pieces four pieces world's most amazing power cord oh wait no it's just a normal power cord that sits flush with the back here computer well we won't be needing these although Vega 56 graphics card I mean you could game on this thing do some cryptocurrency mining well this is professional look at that a number pad so there are some improvements even to the peripherals that from my personal experience are legendarily non ergonomic the keyboard is okay but I'm still not a fan of this Mouse design got your gesture nonsense on the top you got your left you got your right click yeah okay I always get this feeling when I'm opening up Apple products that like because I don't worship them as a company I like somehow undeserving of an experience right now that someone else somewhere on earth would just be so excited for I just they're doing a lot right here but I'm still not necessarily sold on $6,000 for this particular spec regardless of whether it's Canadian rupees or US dollars Wow it's really light and they actually managed to I mean at least to the naked eye I don't have the old previous iMac for comparison because I sold it but to the eye doesn't look that big by comparison so they have crowned a lot of performance in here I will say this though they have clearly left larger vents for cooling back there look at that and what's also interesting back here is that gone is the convenient hatch where you can access your memory modules to upgrade them io wise we've got your audio connectors still on the back I guess we were not getting away from that SD card reader nice to see four USB threes of some flavor or another for Thunderbolt that is gorgeous and 10 Gigabit LAN that's really exciting to me personally because once Apple does it other people start taking it seriously and 10 gig networking is something that really really needs to happen down here is where we've got all of our intake vents all along the bottom and so this guy must be the exhaust right over here got your cable management hole here I really like the aesthetic of this thing that dark kind of like I guess this is kind of a Space Gray or something I don't know what they what Apple would call it but this dark aesthetic is really really nice it screams professional and not in that way that's like I'm a professional you know a glossy plastic or something like that not like it actually looks pro so the rumor is that Apple has a replacement to the Mac Pro coming like a proper replacement like a desktop computer with a separate monitor and a cable between them you know like an actual workstation coming but for the time being this is the highest end product in their lineup and as much as that like kind of sucks because I'm really not a huge fan of the fact that this gorgeous monitor that I paid for and this powerful computer that I also paid for are just married together forever this was something I complained about with the previous 5k iMac the fact that you can't just use it as a monitor with like a future Apple desktop but with that said it's not a terrible looking machine it's spent a lot of time this holidays on my knees like not like like playing card games with my kids and stuff and once again I am going through the usual freaking thing that I go through with a Mac or I don't know how to do anything SMB colon slash slash no we don't use back slashes on the Mac we use forward slashes all right so let's find the test folder I want to test out that ten gigabit networking fortunately I have a 10 gigabit switch right here ready to freakin rock because I am ready for the 10 gigabit revolution here as usual the screen is gorgeous can never fault Apple for the display you can fault them for not remembering what bloody button to press to make the oh look at it go yeah it's more brightness than any than any man needs it's 12 gigs 12 gig file here we go here we go you guys ready for the 12 gig file to the raid 0 SSD boot drive look at that go oh it's beautiful it's not actually that fast pretty fast yeah I know that's pretty fast so we're doing like 300 megabytes a second for Apple people that's really fast Oh quick times I can't double-click to make it fullscreen wow I guess I better go find a hotkey I don't know what it is Oh am I really gonna make myself use this thing again for all my software frustrations though I mean if you run Windows on it this is the sexiest Windows all-in-one that's for sure so let me know guys this is just an unboxing but we're gonna have a review coming at least I want to take a look at the upgrade experience as well it's got a Vegas six in it so I'd love to look at the gaming experience too but let us know in the comments on this video what you guys want to hear from us about the Mac maybe another really interesting piece would be building out a top-of-the-line iMac pro so we've actually got some spare chips that we could upgrade it with we could get this pretty close to full spec and then how it would compare price-wise to a top-of-the-line PC workstation something like this this thing can take up to two Xeon processors so I want to hear from you guys after I tell you about tunnel bear tunnel bear is the simple to use VPN app that allows
