iMac Pro review

Is this the ultimate all-in-one for professionals?

Most powerful Mac ever ; Excellent design ; Keeps cool ; New Space Gray color is ace

Very expensive ; Non user-upgradable ; Magic Mouse 2 still frustrating

The iMac Pro is a powerful, professional all-in-one that certainly won’t be for everyone. It has oodles of power and a huge price tag to match. However, if the iMac Pro is suited for your needs, then you won’t be disappointed.

Apple iMac Pro review

The clue is in the name when it comes to Apple's most powerful Mac

Great performance across a range of tasks ; Excellent integrated 5K display ; The enclosure now looks even better

Single-core performance boost isn’t huge ; Lack of upgrade potential may irk pros

It might look like the same old iMac, but this is a hugely powerful, great-looking machine. But only open your wallet if you really need one.

Apple iMac Pro review: Iron fist in a velvet glove

Power, practicality and beauty all in one minimalist package, the Apple iMac Pro is the most powerful all-in-one ever made

There’s no question that Apple’s iMac Pro is a hugely impressive machine. Its processing power, storage subsystem and connectivity are fantastic and it isn’t even badly overpriced when you take into account that it’s all attached to a...

iMac Pro versus 27-inch iMac

Should you buy a new 27-inch iMac, or wait for the iMac Pro?

If you need the most powerful Mac available right now then the 27-inch iMac, with its build-to-order options may well meet your needs.

Apple iMac Pro

The Apple iMac Pro is a beautiful ode to creative professionals, combining remarkable computing power with the same brilliant 5k display and sleek design of the iMac.

Intel Xeon CPU and AMD Radeon Vega offer serious computing power. Gorgeous design in Space Gray extends to the wireless peripherals.

Pricey. Performance gains depend upon workflow. Uncomfortable keyboard.

Bottom Line: The Apple iMac Pro is a beautiful ode to creative professionals, combining remarkable computing power with the same brilliant 5k display and sleek design of the iMac.
