I scored one of these for $500! Believe me, I was shocked too. Lady didn't really know what she had. Was given to her from work as a retirement gift. Its an 8-Core, 64GB RAM, Vega 64 with 16GB HBM Memory and 2TB SSD! Pretty spec'd out machine and I love it! Im keeping it just because of its Rarity. Its the only iMac 'PRO' they came out with and one of the last with Intel. Yes mine runs warm too and will be outdated soon but for people that like unique launched items, like me, its an awesome device to have! Thanks for this video! Thought I was the only one that loves these nowadays! It goes along with my 2019 16" Macbook Pro, the last with Intel Processor. Now I just need a 2019 Mac Pro to finish off the lineup of last unique Intel Macs! Thanks again for the video!!

500 bucks!!! That is killer! Yes this is an incredible machine, the screen blows me away every time I turn it on. My main monitor is a 1440p ultra wide, and the colors+sharpness of this display is just unreal to me. Thanks for taking the time to watch!

I use a 2015 21.5" iMac with an i7 as the "head unit" for my home audio setup. Until it can no longer run Apple Music/Spotify/Tidal, I will continue to use it...almost daily. I foresee it lasting another 2-3 years, easy.

Don't underestimate the premium speakers and the glass overlay on the panel. The iMac Pro is a comprehensive Plug N Play package.

The speakers blow me away, I forgot to mention I edited the entire video without headphones… I just opened it up tonight and the speakers are absolutely massive, volume wise they take up what appears to be more than half of the space!

These iMacs were always my favorite growing up. Super cool buy dude

Great video. I picked a 10-Core, 32GB Ram, 1TB SSD with Vega 64 in late '22 for $1700. At the time, I was hoping they would come out with a redesigned 27" iMac. After they released the Mac Studio and display, I figured it probably wouldn't happen. With the Studio Display being $1600 - I figured at $1700, I am basically getting the same display, and only paying $100 for a Xeon workstation. I'll probably keep it as long as it supports the latest MacOS.

My thinking is along that same line. At some point the computer will be useless but that 5k screen will look good long after that. At that point it’s time to get out the heat gun haha

I got a vega 64 1tb storage 64gb ram version for £1000. Can’t be beat for that price especially with how well it runs windows.

i got mine this week! i love the look more than the current ones and the peripherals are better than what you can get today. and for so much cheaper than it used to be.

I love the iMac Pro and always wanted a space gray iMac with that much power. I was 12 when I walked into an Apple store and saw one of these beasts for the first time and then saw it started at $5000, never got one because of how expensive it was but if Apple releases a new one of these in Space Black and Pro and Max apple silicon chipsets, I will be the first to get it.

Nice one!

I purchased one in 2018, with the top cpu and gpu, 2 TB. It was around 8500 I believe. These do get hot. I am looking forward to trading up to a studio with m4 next year. I have not had much success editing videos on mine, but i don't use it for that very often. I chalked it up to being a problem with adobe. I'm a software dev, but my eyes are going bad, and i actually need a larger screen. Wish Apple would make a 32" imac pro with m3 (fingers crossed in June)

I have one of these (8 core model) and happily run a Linux distro on it with Mac OS having a smaller partition. It has given it longer life. Excellent machine as a generic 'computer device' imo. Cool video!! :)

That’s better than a good deal! It will hold up for at least few more years.

Is this your main machine?

my 2014 iMac is running perfect! just downloaded Sonoma on it!

How did you download Sonoma in it? My brother gave me his late 2015 27 iMac and it has Monterey OS.

I got one local for $600 yesterday!

Great

This is an Amazing product. I was going to purchase this😂. And then the MacBook M1 max was released. So I had to go through with newer Apple product

It really is an incredible product. I would love to see them bring this back in a 6k screen, same form factor - minus the bezels, with apple silicon. Will never happen, but would be too cool

I wished Apple still sell the iMac Pro.

29 inch screen (plus 2 because they reduce the bezel). New m3 max/ultra chips

I picked up one of these a couple of weeks ago for my wife. $1100 CAD. Same specs as yours. You simply cannot buy a better computer for an average user for that price. Period. Buy it if you can find it.

Yo great video brother!! I found an iMac Pro locally for $850 box and everything and I'm honestly debating because I'm tired of buying older apple products and go through the awkward hassle of selling off stuff and waiting with no computer until my next product gets shipped in and an M1 iMac with 16GB & 512GBSSD or even 1TB used could be found anywhere from 1,050-1,350$ I HATE the M1 design its a disgrace and the iMac Pro overall looks more amazing and can arguably keep up with the M1 iMac I guess the argument here is how will it age over time especially when software support runs out for the pro :(

The new iMac's suck. I have felt that struggle, I just decided to spend 1300 on my MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and just let that be my main computer. I can still test out these computers, but I know I have old reliable plugged in whenever I may need it

If you can grab one for $850, go get it NOW.

ALL of these reviews are done by KZreadrs and all they are interested in is how it processes video. If you wanted to increase subscribers, maybe you could look at other aspects like gaming, development work, etc. THE key thing about the iMac Pro is that it can run Mojave natively (and therefore 32bit software) AND Sonoma!. It is the last most powerful iMac that can do that. Let's not forget Boot Camp & Windows (spits). Coupled with the fact that the components are workstation class components! Also the cooling system does not recycle hot air into the vents at the bottom, the cooling system is actually pretty good. It would be really easy to deflect the hot air anyway.

It can do Bootcamp so.... can it run Apex Legends in Ultra?

The thing is... once this computer doesn't hold up anymore you can just convert this into an external monitor. A few videos on KZread showing how to do that.

Just extremely terrifying. But very true, once the computer runs its course the display is effectively the same as the 5k studio display apple sells for 1600.....

Should’nt you be jumping for joy over this good deal? This could really help your vertical leap😂
