Customer Ratings & Reviews

Perfect computer for 3d modeling and editing, 3d printing, movie making. Light, fast and easy to use. Still learning new functionality every day. Excited to use it for music ventures. Seamlessly integrates messaging and video as well. Beautiful screen and clarity. Really a treat.

Powerful, but not the best value. Build a 2020 iMac. You’ll get more performance per dollar, while spending much less.

I purchased this computer with the intentions of using it for Video editing of 4K GoPro drone videos and iPhone 4K videos. I am not a movie producer, I just make fun family videos and I don’t want to wait hours for rendering and waiting for videos to process In iMovie. This iMac pro is nearly instant in everything I have attempted to do. I can easily have multiple applications open watching 4K video and edit with no stuttering. It is awesome!!

Since 2012 When I purchased my Mac Mini and a Cinema display from Best Buy. I have been hooked into the Apple verse. My mac mini Core i7 with 16gb severe me well since then. It is only recently I had to change my hard disk. About one month after my Cinema display dies. I was going to load an iMac Core i7 with 64gb of ram and a 1tb ssd. That is until I was able to try the iMac Pro at my local BestBuy. I decided to make the leap one day before Black Friday. I knew the 8 cores and 32gb or ram would get me far beyond what I was using before with Lightroom CC Classic and Photoshop and On1. I just did not realize how far and fast I would be going. Also the timing allowed me to find a better price that BestBuy matched! I save $350 by shopping around. I shoot with a 46mp Nikon D850 those files are huge. .Before on the mac mini it would take almost 5 minutes to load LR CC and be ready to work with the over 80,000 images in my library. On the pro it takes about 30 seconds. Quite an improvement. When sticking large panoramas of 46mp files on the mini it would take hours and sometime not finish. Here it is under 3 minutes for a 14 shot panorama. Amazing! I have some focus stacked images with 50 raw images in the stack. This iMac Pro eats them up in record time. I have never even heard the fans kick on under heavy load. It never seems tp slow down. I am blessed to be able to own one of these screaming iMac's It has decreased the amount of time I spend now on post production. What took multiple hours now takes minutes. I simply love this machine! I also purchased Apple Care with the unit I hope I never have to use it but if I do it is there. I love this iMac Pro and BestBuy!

This iMac Pro has very stunning design, and runs super fast. But there are several problems. First is the exaggerated cooling system, which could be very hot during long time use. Second is the limited expandability. Four thunderbolt 3 is nothing more than a MacBook Pro. Third is difficulty to upgrade RAM, which is super simple for iMac. Overall, it fits to my need for two years. I upgraded to a Mac Pro to get the extreme flexibility and better cooling design.

I spent a good two hours this Sunday trying to tax the CPU. The model I am using is the 8 core 32GB model. The program I used for testing was Ableton Live 10 and I hit 51% CPU usage once I ran two drum racks tracks and 54 instances of Reaktor 6 Blocks. Reaktor 6 blocks can tax my MacBook Pro 2014 i7 model after 4 instances in Ableton which would also lead to audio dropouts. This CPU did 54 instances at 51% CPU with no audio dropouts. I did notice there's a pop when you start a new instance of Reaktor 6 blocks but the 8 cores can manage the load. Would I ever write a song with 54 instances of Reaktor 6 blocks? No, but it goes to show this desktop is more than enough to handle the creation stage, the mixing stage, and master buss processing for mastering. Did I mention that at 51% CPU the fan does NOT go on? The cooling vents on the back really help with getting heat away from the iMac Pro. The speaker on the back is also impressive. I was using softube console 1 to do some EQs on tracks with the SSL4000E emulation and it did a good job of making you feel the boosts and cuts and frequencies when working on the stock speaker. Will it replace a good set of studio monitors? No! It will be good for referencing your mixes. I also used it to watch movies on iTunes. Wow Blade Runner 2049 looks amazing on it. I'm so glad I spent the extra money on this machine instead of the 3.8Ghz iMac 27". That would have worked too, but having all this power under the hood makes you want to explore modular synthesis through Reaktor 6 Blocks. You'll also be more adventurous with adding a reverb in each track instead of a send track. You'll also be adventurous in making certain several different send tracks have master buss processing chains without having to freeze resources. All in all I am very satisfied with this workstation.

Extremely fast! Fantastic color. Could sit and look at the screen saver all day - the color is that good. Super audio sound. Tons of memory. Comes with everything - no need to purchase mouse or wireless keyboard. If you're already a Mac user, it's easy to navigate. Tons of new features - I'm still learning. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for. If you're already an Apple fan, you'll love it. Worth the investment.

Beautiful, fast and built to last. Handles everything I've thrown at it with ease. Have yet to even hear the fans kick in, even under heavier loads. Couldn't be happier.

I took the chance and bought the iMac Pro. I do a lot of video and photo editing. This machine is a beast! It chews through 4K footage in Final Cut Pro X like it was nothing. It has probably cut my processing/rendering time in half. I am really happy I waited and didn't get the Mac Pro tube. I love the all in one design like my last iMac.

I mean I did spend a lot, but for the money and time on how many projects I can multi task this is by far the best computer I have ever owned, I tried other desktops and wasn’t cutting it and tried the older iMac or the mini but dang this desktop is a best and I highly recommended it as I believe it will last me for years to come. The dual fan noise is so minimal you don’t even know there two fans back there. Overall I’m super happy for how much I spent. I think it’s well worth it.

This computer is a beast, there's nothing it cant do, it was simple to set up the Screen and picture is astonishing. I have friends who are programmers for Apple, they wish they had a computer this fast .

WOWSA! This is an amazing piece of hardware/software. The monitor is 5K. Handwritten documents that I had a hard time reading are now a breeze. Details on old maps I can see with increased clarity. This beast is awesome. I have no complaints. There's nothing that this iMac Pro can't do. 32GB RAM. FAST!

I am a video post-editor and I get raw footage from mirrorless DSLRs to Red cinema cameras all the time. This iMac Pro has no problem handling up to 5k Raw codecs with ease. I’m confident I won’t need another desktop for 3-5 years.

Great optics Fast speed Pricey Wanted best graphics for telehealth visits w/patients from home office

i am actually writing this review from my new computer right now, its very quick, fast, looks very sleek and nice . love the titanium black color they came out with. although, i havent had time to really mess around with it yet. believe me when i tell you its a great computer.

Excellent desktop for power users. I'm able to video edit with multiple programs open as the same time seamlessly without any lagging or disruption to my work. Definitely a excellent desktop for power users. Screen makes it easy multi-task with multiple different video sources.

I'm a longtime Mac user-especially iMac-and this unit does impress. Aside from the new, beautiful aesthetic, this powerhouse really shines when running applications like Adobe InDesign and Final Cut Pro X. If you're in the professional space, this is worth checking out. About a year ago I built a custom iMac for the same price and this leaves that machine in the dust.

I do photo and video editing and it’s worth it. I know you can build an pc that has the same specs or close to it but the iMac is also a luxury item in my opinion. If you’re trying to save money this isn’t for you.

Definitely a spurge but no regrets here. Bought an open box that was just like buying a new one. Perfect condition, fast, and just a good looking computer. The Pro is the way to go!

I purchased this to replace a 2015 iMac i7 that was struggling with large (1 gigabyte +) image files. Huge difference. Great power, quick startup, beautiful screen. Pricey. Make sure to speak with Apple before choosing the 8, 10, 12 core machine as not all software is optimized to take advantage of the additional horsepower.
