Are you including the cost of the 27" 5k screen when comparing the value of the iMac Pro?
Or the ECC RAM? Or the insane I/O with four thunderbolt 3 ports?
I find that people often don't compare Macs spec for spec. They just pick and choose the specs that they care about which isn't a great comparison. However this also speaks to the freedom of PC building - you can pay for only what you need.
- vel0city 7y agoA Ryzen CPU will expose 20 PCI-e 4.0 lanes to external devices. That's almost 3x as much I/O as 3 Thunderbolt 3 ports. A Threadripper will expose up to 72! Sounds like a downgrade to user-selectable I/O to me, not really a selling point.
- whywhywhywhy 7y ago>I find that people often don't compare Macs spec for spec I find people often hold one thing from the iMac that's not really relevant as justifying a whole laundry list of failings. I'm including my screen in the price of my build, I have ECC ram and two GPUs and I'm still a fraction of the base model price and outperforming it.
