Hi, author here.

Thank you for the comments!

I was originally trying to go for benchmark or spec comparison (which unfortunately there isn't much out yet for many of the iMac Pro components) without having to pick the same parts. Clearly I've missed some core components, and features and performance along with those for many workstation use cases.

I will definitely take your points in to the re-write of this article. I think you, and many of the others here have shown me a lot of what I missed in clarifying and in comparing. I really appreciate your passion and criticism!

Also, as far as the iMac (non-pro) goes, since that came out I've thought that has been a steal on pricing, especially for that screen (bought a 5k one last year).



This is ridiculous. You buy hardware that is clearly not as good, and call it a win? So your point is that you can but hardware not as powerful for less? Does anyone not know that.

At least compare like with like, and you will have to wait until you understand what the mac has to do that.

Why post an article so wrong? Why waste everyone's time? Just to be the first?


Harsh, but while reading this I thought something similar. Too many unknowns so it just struck me as too soon for this piece.


How much of a pain was it to install OS X?
