iMac Pro is the only way to go and purchasing from Adoroma is the best decision I could have made!!

I love my new iMac Pro, it's running perfectly. The service I received when making the decision to purchase this product was second to none. I continue to purchase from Adoroma because of your impeccable customer service. You all should be very proud.

Best computer I’ve ever owned

Powerful, sleek and fast. Editing and running multiple windows at a time has never slowed this beast down. If you can afford it, buy it.

Excellent Machine

While the new Early 2019 iMacs pack quite a punch, especially when configured with an 8-core i9 CPU, the iMac Pro still offers features the iMac does not: - Xeon CPU with more cache - Vega 56 GPU (Vega 48 is currently the highest configurable option on the 2019 iMac 27) - T2 Security Chip - Significantly better speakers (really, there is a big difference) - ECC Memory - Faster storage + RAID0 configurations - SD UHS?II Card Reader, up to 2TB - 1080p Webcam - Additional/better microphones - 4 ThunderBolt 3 ports - 10 gig Ethernet - Space Gray finish + accessories I'm sure the multicore GeekBench 4 scores on the 8-core i9 iMac will be every bit as good, and possibly better than the Xeon W in the base iMac Pro, but as seen above, there are numerous other features included in the Pro. Both are excellent machines, but if you need the performance this is currently the best option in my opinion.

Inspired

I upgraded from an older Imac. Debated as to if the "Pro" would be too much computer for my video creation needs. I decided to bite the bullet and buy the Pro. I am really glad I did. So far it is much faster than the standard i7 Imac that a friend has. I also want to thank Frank (the Adorama salesperson) for being so helpful and making the purchase extremely easy.

Excellent iMac. The best Apple has made so far.

So far it’s the best iMac I’ve owned. Not a moment of buyers remorse. I do a lot of computationally heavy mathematical models and the base iMac Pro model handles it like it’s adding two numbers. Highly recommended if it’s in your budget and you work with a lot of number crunching.

Unsurpassed

After a dizzying amount of research, at this point in time, this is the most appropriate computer and configuration for me. Unfortunately, this is a built to order purchase on the Apple Store. That means one cannot just drop in to your local Apple brick and mortar and walk out with the configuration you need. Wait time for my configuration of choice was 3-4 weeks as of when I was ready to buy. I usually enjoy online comparison shopping, but in this case, there was really no comparison. Adorama was the only vendor claiming availability of my specific configuration for delivery within 3 business days.With all of the combination and permutation possibilities for configuring an iMac Pro, I was skeptical that any online vendor would have my specific unit in stock. I took the leap and placed the order. Much to my pleasant surprise, the ordering process, the delivery, and finally the iMac Pro itself proceeded flawlessly. This was all accomplished at a discounted price, Apple Care+, and tax free to boot. This represented a true cost saving. My experience with this purchase was absolutely wonderful.

Worked very well with 4K video in Davinci Resolve Studio

I was having trouble playing my 4k Video smoothly with lots of effects applied on my MacBook Pro 2017 max configuration, even with Smart Rendering turned on. Upgrading to this iMac Pro solved the problem, and the video now plays smoothly.

Exceptional Machine, Well Worth The Investment

Ridiculously fast & solid machine. A bit pricey but look at what you get! This was the machine we all wanted Apple to build for us for video, AR, photography, 4K , 8K , graphics geeks. Think of ROI Microsoft is trying with Surface Pro but this is far better in terms of hardware, OS , and software. End of debate. Thanks Cupertino

Even the entry level iMac Pro is outstanding

It was time for a new system and Adorama's price is what made my decision. We had already decided on the new iMac Pro, but it was a question of which model. Based on the performance upgrade from our previous Mac and the pricing and customer service from Adorama, we bought the base model. We have been very happy and the performance is excellent. The display is amazing as well. We will continue to make our purchases from Adorama.

Stay away IMO

To many bugs in this design, my 2014 retina iMac is faster and does not give me spinning wheel on iPhoto . Also a handful of my legacy software would not load on the iMac pro running the same is system. Key board and mouse Bluetooth disconnect and stop working in middle of projects making you have to close out via the one still working, real Pain. Last of all this computer runs hot, even in sleep mode. I return it for a refund.

Apple iMac Pro is a Dream

Really sleek machine, blazing fast (8 core, 32 GB RAM, 16 GB GPU, 2 TB Drive version). Bought it after much contemplation over the cost to benefit and am happy that I did. Used as an upgrade to my MacBook Pro for photo editing on a larger scale. Definitely an investment piece for a small business owner hoping to transition into a hobby-sustaining photography business (good luck, right?)! -Brad

Great for Photography

As a high res camera user it's speed is a great improvement over my 10 year old iMac. Both for video and still photography users it's great when editing. The image on the lcd is incredible for detail and color.

Top iMac

I have been eyeing the IMAC PRO since they came out and when Adorama had them on sale + 0% financing it was time to pull the trigger. I have found the machine to be nothing short of outstanding. It plows through anything you throw at it and it stays whisper quite. I had 2 thunderbolt displays that I hooked up with Apple adapters and it works seamlessly. I bought a Caldigit T3+ and this allows all the connectivity I could ever use. Overall, I am very impressed with the IMAC Pro. I bought the 8 core with the 2TB SSD. I'm tired of being limited by disc space and this fits the bill with some insane read and write speeds. What can I say - you can't go wrong with this machine. I plan on keeping it for the next several years and should serve me well. You can't go wrong with with the IMAC Pro - it just works and crushes anything you throw at it.

Amazing Machine

Sometimes Apple's displays can exhibit some bleed around the edges so I was a little worried when I first ordered this but wow - managed to get one with a perfect screen. There's nothing this machine can't power through and I highly recommend the 64GB of RAM (128 is a bit overkill) and the 2TB internal drive. Also - I chose the 10-core because it had the highest Turbo Boost speed - something that's very important for when you're running apps that will only use the dual or quad core portion of the chip. Imported and exported tons of 4K video and not only is it fast - this machine transcodes and doesn't even turn on its fans.

The iMac for Professionals

It's a lot of money to blow on a computer, but justifying the price isn't too difficult if you need the power. It's super fast, quiet, and trouble free.

iMac Pro - investment in longer-term relevance vs a regular iMac

iMac Pro is not for the cost sensitive. If you have budget to choose a higher-end pro model, it will likely remain relevant in your workflow longer into the future than a higher-end regular iMac. Especially if you are doing lots of video and high MP still editing.

Power to the pro.
Pros love iMac. So we created one just for you. It's packed with powerful graphics and processors, along with the most advanced storage, memory, and I/O - all behind a breathtaking Retina 5K display in a sleek, all-in-one design. For everyone from photographers to video editors to 3D animators to musicians to software developers to scientists, iMac Pro is ready to turn your biggest ideas into your greatest work.

18-Core in an iMac
An iMac with 18 cores is an entirely different creature. Add Turbo Boost speeds up to 4.3GHz, and iMac Pro has the power and flexibility to balance multicore processing with single-thread performance. With AVX-512 vector instructions and an advanced cache architecture, the processor handles even more data - even more quickly. Which means you can render images, edit up to 8K video, manipulate photos, create real-time audio effects, or compile your next five-star app - all at lightning speed.

• 18-core Xeon processor
• Turbo Boost up to 4.3GHz

Vega graphics. The beast behind the beauty.
Featuring Radeon Pro Vega graphics, iMac Pro delivers stunningly powerful graphics standard. The Vega graphics architecture features 16GB of on-package High Bandwidth Memory, which helps deliver a major jump in performance. This translates to higher frame rates, real-time 3D rendering, more lifelike special effects, and gameplay at max settings. It also supports both single- and half-precision computing, so operations that don't require a full 32 bits of precision can be performed twice as fast.

• Radeon Pro Vega 64
• 11 teraflops single precision
• 22 teraflops half precision

More memory for massive projects.
You can visualize, simulate, and render huge 3D models. Create multiple test environments for cross-platform development. And keep numerous apps open at the same time. It's all powerful. For all the things you want to do.

High-performance storage. Load faster. Launch faster.
All-flash storage lets you work on large 4K and HD projects regardless of codec. And with up to 3GB/s throughput, loading huge files and launching apps is faster than ever.

Apple T2 Security Chip. Enhanced integration and security.
Every iMac Pro is equipped with the Apple T2 Security Chip, our second-generation custom Mac silicon. By redesigning and integrating several controllers found in other Mac systems - like the system management controller, image signal processor, audio controller, and SSD controller - the T2 Security Chip delivers robust capabilities to the Mac. For instance, the image signal processor works with the FaceTime HD camera to enable enhanced tone mapping, improved exposure control, and face detection-based auto exposure and auto white balance. The T2 also makes iMac Pro even more secure, thanks to a Secure Enclave coprocessor that provides the foundation for encrypted storage and secure boot capabilities. The data on your SSD is encrypted using dedicated AES hardware with no effect on the SSD's performance, while keeping the Intel Xeon processor free for your compute tasks. And secure boot ensures that the lowest levels of software aren't tampered with and that only operating system software trusted by Apple loads at startup. The Apple T2 Security Chip also brings a familiar voice to iMac Pro - Hey Siri is always ready to heed your call.

Serious I/O. For serious work.
As you'd expect from a pro machine, there are plenty of high-speed ports to create a high-performance workstation. Four Thunderbolt 3 ports let you connect two 5K monitors - for 44 million pixels total - and transfer data at a blazing 40Gb/s. And there's something you probably didn't expect in an iMac: 10Gb Ethernet. So sharing files between desktops, or working with high-performance network storage, is up to 10 times faster.

40Gb/s Thunderbolt 3
Four Thunderbolt 3 ports. Supports USB 3.1 and DisplayPort video output over USB-C.

10Gb Ethernet
Also supports Nbase-T industry-standard 1Gb, 2.5Gb, and 5Gb link speeds.

Retina 5K display. Dream in a billion colors
It almost goes without saying: If it's an iMac, it will have a gorgeous display. And iMac Pro doesn't disappoint. Its 27-inch Retina screen is crisp and bright, with 500 nits of brightness across its 14.7 million pixels. It's as if the sleek, all-in-one design disappears behind the stunning screen - so you can focus on your content. Along with P3 color and support for a billion colors, iMac Pro delivers spectacular, true-to-life images.

• 500 nits
• P3 color gamut
• One billion colors: Supports 10-bit spatial and temporal dithering

Reveal your true colors.
A billion colors on your display means every photo appears just the way it was shot, with supersmooth gradients and vastly reduced banding.

All-in-one design. More creative freedom.
iMac Pro puts the power of a workstation behind a stunning Retina 5K display, in a sleek enclosure just 5 mm wide at its edge. With your whole system powered by a single cable, your workspace stays free of clutter. It's a beautifully efficient design that lets you focus all your attention on what you're creating - not what you're creating with.

Advanced thermal management. Cool.
Packing all that performance into such a slim all-in-one design required a new approach to cooling the system. We redesigned the thermal architecture of iMac Pro with innovative dual blowers, a high-capacity heatsink, and extra venting. The result? Almost 75 percent more airflow and an 80 percent increase in system thermal capacity. Which lets iMac Pro handle 500 watts - all while remaining quiet on your desk.

Dynamic speakers. Make some noise.
The enhanced stereo speakers in iMac Pro deliver broad frequency response, rich bass, and impressive volume. So you'll be able to hear that crashing cymbal, multilayered effect, or sample-based sound, all with remarkable fidelity. And with four beamforming mics, your voice is heard loud and clear over any background noise.

Accessories with a dark side.
You even get space gray accessories to match your iMac Pro - all wireless, rechargeable, and beautiful. The Magic Keyboard includes a numeric keypad, and to go with Magic Mouse 2.
