Apple really managed to surprise its fans with a number of new gadgets and software updates at the WWDC 2017. The event started on Monday, June 5, and it will continue until June 9. On the very first day of the conference, Apple showed off a new version of the WatchOS, introduced the macOS High Sierra, and the iOS 11. The Cupertino-based company also introduced an iMac update, new MacBook Pro laptops with Kaby Lake processors, a larger iPad Pro, and the HomePod. Even though the Siri Speaker is a nice device, I would say that it wasn’t the biggest announcement of Apple on Monday. The tech giant also announced the most powerful Mac ever, the iMac Pro. The workstation will become available in December.
The iMac Pro looks amazing. Even though it keeps the same thin design, it will actually be a lot more powerful than any other existing Mac device. It might look great, but it’s not just another pretty face. The iMac Pro was definitely designed for pro customers. Its 27-inch Retina 5K display is gorgeous and will allow users to enjoy the perfect visual experience. It is the right device for those who need a high-end display in order to complete their work. However, the quality of the display is not the only thing that recommends this device. It will be available with up to 18-core Xeon processors and up to 22 Teraflops of graphics computation. It is indeed the most powerful Mac ever delivered by Apple.
Thanks to its high-end hardware, the iMac Pro is able to handle the most demanding pro workflows. The device got a brand new, innovative thermal design too. Thanks to this feature, it ensures up to 80 percent more cooling capacity than any other Mac before. And it does this maintaining the same slim design Apple users got to love. The device also got the best graphics ever on a Mac. It sports a Radeon Pro Vega GPU, which is the newest graphics card of its kind. Even more, the iMac Pro will also feature up to 16GB of on-package high-bandwidth memory (HBM2). Also, the iMac Pro supports up to 4TB of SSD and up to 128GB of ECC memory.
The device also impresses when it comes to connectivity. It features four Thunderbolt ports. Thanks to these, users will be able to connect two high-performance RAID arrays and two 5K displays to the device at the same time. The iMac Pro also got a boost in networking. the device comes with 10Gb Ethernet. This ensures up to 10 times faster networking. The new iMac Pro sure looks beautiful and it seems to be quite powerful. Naturally, all this power comes at a high price. The starting price of the new device will be $4,999 in the US. The most powerful Mac ever will start shipping in December, so you can start saving your money for it. Wouldn’t it be a terrific Christmas present for yourself? We think it would.
