 Oh! How much did we spend on this? Being a hundred percent honest with you guys, I actually don't know. James, how much did we spend on this thing? Six grand? Is that the base bottle? 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, slash professional, all those categories because for a while there you could make a pretty strong argument for them just giving exactly zero F's about any of those groups of end users. But 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, Xeon W, the W is for workstation, pro, workstation, okay, we're on the same page so far, 32 gigs of ECC memory, 1 terabyte SSD, a Vega 56 graphics card, okay, that's not especially professional FaceTime camera. Four Thunderbolt 3 ports and something that I've been asking for proper support from Apple for 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 Brandon. Wow, this is a lot of packaging. Gotta give Apple credit, they uh, they want stuff to get to you in one piece. 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 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 cord's in there. It's got a little pull tab. Then this entire- 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 of your computer. Well, we won't be needing these gaming peripherals. 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's 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'm 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 crammed 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 patch where you can access your memory modules to upgrade them. Iowise 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 3s of some flavor or another. Four 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 like glossy plastic or something like that. No 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. I spent a lot of time this holidays on my knees. Like not like like playing card games with my kids and stuff. Shut up. And once again, I am going through the usual freaking thing that I go through with a Mac. Where I don't know how to do anything. SMB colon slash slash. No, we don't use backslashes on the Mac. We use forward slashes. All right, so let's find the test folder. I want to test out that 10 gigabit networking. Fortunately, I have a 10 gigabit switch right here ready to freaking 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. Okay, what is this 12 gigs 12 gig file. Here we go. Here we go. You guys ready for the 12 gig file to the raid zero SSD boot drive. Look at that go. Oh, it's beautiful. It's not actually that fast. It's pretty fast. Yeah, no, that's pretty fast. So we're doing like 300 megabytes a second. For Apple people that's really fast. Oh quick time. I can't double click to make it full screen. 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 Vega 56 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 TunnelBear.
