I have been using the iMac Pro with Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 2 external hard drives without any problems as long as I do not attach USB drives to the iMac Pro and put it to sleep. To date, the problem still exists, and I still have an open case with Apple. I filed a formal case with Apple Support on Januand I have since been in touch with a total of five Apple Support contacts regarding these two issues - three of whom are Senior Advisors.

I also discovered that I could not boot into Windows 10 if any external hard drives were connected and that I could not use the Option key> Storage Manager to boot into Windows 10 regardless of whether USB drives were connected or not. This occurred for various external USB3 hard drives from different manufacturers as well as with a Sandisk Extreme 64 GB USB3 flash drive and a 16 GB USB2 Kingston flash drive. I noticed immediately that 95% of the time when I woke my iMac Pro from sleep all the external USB drives were ejected. I received my 10 core iMac Pro on December 26th 2017. Thats the same exact price as our iMac Pro, albeit without the display or accessories.

The Mac Pro we're using in this comparison originally retailed for over $7,000, but with the latest price drops it comes in at just $4,999. The all-in-one should have better performance than their current Mac Pro and will most likely be a better value than a future Mac Pro since it comes with a display, keyboard, and a mouse.

This may leave Mac Pro owners wondering if they should wait for a modular Mac Pro or upgrade to the iMac Pro. In the spring of 2017, Phil Schiller and Craig Federighi met with the press and admitted that the lack of Mac Pro updates was due to thermal limitations, and that an all new modular Mac Pro with a standalone Pro display is set to debut in 2018, likely near the end of the year.Īpple also showed off the iMac Pro, which is now available to purchase, and which features powerful high-end hardware combined with a beautiful 5K display.

Since the launch of the latest Mac Pro, however, Apple hasn't made any changes or upgrades to the system, leaving many professionals that purchased it waiting for an update with more powerful hardware. The last time Apple released a pro desktop was in late 2013 with the cylindrical Mac Pro, which featured a daring redesign and a very compact footprint.

Whatever the reason, it is highly disappointing.Apple's announcement of the iMac Pro renewed the company's commitment to support professionals with high-end hardware that can handle difficult tasks. Whatever the reason, it is highly disappointing. Maybe these are the "set-top boxes" that had been shipped in August (or was it July?), which were thought to be new Apple TV's at the time, and perhaps Thunderbolt 2 wasn't yet available? the older TB1 version, especially since Apple worked with Intel on the technology itself? I doubt it. It's short-sighted in my humblest of opinions, and despite the fact that we know how Apple loves large profit margins, can it really be cost? Is it really going to cost even a cent more to buy a TB2 controller vs. Apple thinks desktops don't move a lot and that you already have a big high-res. But you need Thunderbolt 2 support to run 4K displays. There's a second and perhaps more significant reason: I am dying to get a 4K display and they are coming closer to my price range all the time. No Thunderbolt 2? Promise Technology has already announced, amongst other TB2 devices, a brand new Pegasus2 external RAID storage arrays, including an all-new R8 with 8 drive bays, all with TB2 support!

And almost everything else is there as well: 802.11ac WiFi, PCIe SSD instead of the "old" SATA III (6Gbps), which is another awesome and highly meaningful upgrade, but then. You can do it! -)Īt any rate, the screen is just awesome, which is always a concern with brand new monitors, all-in-ones, screens of any kind, really. Shipping, at least in my case, was from within the U.S., and took only a few days.

I know, you just want to pick up the darn thing from the Apple Store down the street, but believe me, to say that "it's worth it!" would be a gross understatement. The only change from the $1,999 model I made should also be one that you make, or rather one like it: Get an SSD or Fusion Drive. So I got my BTO order of the high-end 27" iMac.
