1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,160
oh how much did we spend on this

2
00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:13,200
being a hundred percent honest with you guys i actually don't know james how

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:16,640
much did we spend on this thing six grand

4
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:20,080
is that the base bottle not quite but almost

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:24,910
ah it's too bad praying to the apple gods

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:27,969
doesn't make their products any cheaper

7
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:39,760
okay so apple is finally

8
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:45,680
demonstrating in a way with like a real actual product that you can really

9
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:48,000
actually buy that they give a

10
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:52,800
about the enthusiast prosumer slash

11
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:55,440
professional all those categories because

12
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:59,680
for a while there you could make a pretty strong argument

13
00:00:58,239 --> 00:01:05,600
for them just giving exactly zero f's about any of

14
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:11,920
those groups of end users

15
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:15,200
this is the imac pro and i have been

16
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,280
known to give apple crap about throwing

17
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:22,560
pro on anything that they're trying to sell to home users who want to feel all warm

18
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:28,080
and fuzzy and professional but this thing does look pretty pro

19
00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:33,759
spec wise our model rocks a 27 inch display 5k

20
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,920
xeon w the w is for workstation pro

21
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:41,200
workstation okay we're on the same page so far 32 gigs of ecc memory one

22
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:46,640
terabyte SSD a vega 56 graphics card okay that's not especially professional

23
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:50,159
facetime camera four Thunderbolt 3 ports and

24
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:55,920
something that i've been asking for proper support from apple for for quite

25
00:01:53,200 --> 00:02:00,880
some time something i actually didn't realize that this was gonna have until i

26
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:05,759
saw it on the box oh i'm sorry brandon wow this is a lot

27
00:02:03,119 --> 00:02:05,759
of packaging

28
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:12,959
gotta give apple credit they uh they want stuff to get to you in one

29
00:02:10,959 --> 00:02:15,840
piece did i did i say what the thing was that

30
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:22,800
i had 10 gigabit networking because

31
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,680
for years apple has been on the

32
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:29,120
no we don't need 10 gigabit lan because we

33
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:33,599
have Thunderbolt train but the reality is that

34
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:38,800
Thunderbolt is a point to point connection

35
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:40,720
which is great for end user or prosumer

36
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:45,680
but as soon as you need to share resources

37
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:48,560
Ethernet is the way to go like if our

38
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:53,280
workplace was set up around the mac it would be nearly impossible for one

39
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:58,800
person to pick up where someone else left off on a project if somebody phoned

40
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:02,879
in sick for example what the hell

41
00:03:00,959 --> 00:03:06,239
look at all the packaging for this power cord

42
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:10,319
first of all make sure you open this your power cord's in there it's got a little pull tab

43
00:03:09,519 --> 00:03:16,560
then this entire look at the box they designed to hold this power cord

44
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,920
i mean i'm all for a great unboxing experience

45
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,080
and everything but this was three pieces

46
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:30,800
i mean three easily recyclable

47
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,800
brown cardboard pieces mind you but like

48
00:03:31,519 --> 00:03:35,360
four pieces four pieces

49
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,879
world's most amazing power cord

50
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,640
oh wait no it's just a normal power cord that sits flush with the back your

51
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:53,519
computer well we won't be needing these

52
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:58,239
gaming peripherals although vega 56 graphics card i mean

53
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:03,040
you could game on this thing do some cryptocurrency mining

54
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:06,560
well this is professional look at that a number pad

55
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:12,799
so there are some improvements even to the peripherals that from my personal

56
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:15,439
experience are legendarily non-ergonomic

57
00:04:12,799 --> 00:04:20,079
the keyboard's okay but i'm still not a fan of this mouse design

58
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:23,919
got your gesture nonsense on the top you got your left you got your right click

59
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:29,759
yeah okay i always get this feeling when i'm

60
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:32,080
opening up apple products that

61
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:38,800
like because i don't worship them as a company i'm like somehow undeserving

62
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:44,560
of an experience right now that someone else somewhere on earth

63
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:46,800
would just be so excited for

64
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:51,680
i just they're doing a lot right here

65
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:55,199
but i'm still not necessarily sold on six thousand dollars for this

66
00:04:53,280 --> 00:05:01,040
particular spec regardless of whether it's canadian rupees or us dollars

67
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:05,520
wow it's really light and they actually managed to i mean at

68
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:09,759
least to the naked eye i don't have the old

69
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:13,120
previous imac for comparison because i sold it

70
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:19,039
but to the eye doesn't look that big by comparison so

71
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:21,759
they have crammed a lot of performance

72
00:05:19,039 --> 00:05:25,360
in here i will say this though they have clearly left larger

73
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,199
vents for cooling back there look at that and

74
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,800
what's also interesting back here is that gone

75
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:36,000
is the convenient hatch where you can access your memory modules to upgrade

76
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:40,240
them i o wise we've got your audio connectors

77
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:46,000
still on the back i guess we were not getting away from that sd card reader

78
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:48,240
nice to see four usb 3s of some flavor

79
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,840
or another four Thunderbolt that is gorgeous and 10 gigabit lan that's

80
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:58,000
really exciting to me personally because once apple does it other people start

81
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:01,919
taking it seriously and 10 gig networking is something that really

82
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:06,319
really needs to happen uh down here is where we've got all of

83
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:10,080
our intake vents all along the bottom and so this guy must be the exhaust

84
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:14,960
right over here got your cable management hole here i really like the

85
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:18,720
aesthetic of this thing that dark kind of like i guess this is kind of a space

86
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:23,600
gray or something i don't know what they what apple would call it but this dark

87
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:29,919
aesthetic is really really nice it screams professional and not in that way

88
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:34,400
that's like i'm a professional you know like glossy plastic or something like

89
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:39,280
that no like it actually looks pro so the rumor is that apple has a

90
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:43,039
replacement to the mac pro coming like a proper replacement like a desktop

91
00:06:41,919 --> 00:06:46,400
computer with a separate monitor and a cable

92
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,880
between them you know like an actual workstation coming

93
00:06:49,039 --> 00:06:55,440
but for the time being this is the highest end product

94
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:01,199
in their lineup and as much as that like kind of sucks

95
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:07,039
because i'm really not a huge fan of the fact that this gorgeous monitor that i

96
00:07:03,919 --> 00:07:09,599
paid for and this powerful computer that

97
00:07:07,039 --> 00:07:13,199
i also paid for are just married together forever this

98
00:07:11,919 --> 00:07:18,400
was something i complained about with the previous 5k imac the fact that you

99
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:22,560
can't just use it as a monitor with like a future apple desktop

100
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,960
but with that said it's not a terrible looking machine

101
00:07:25,039 --> 00:07:32,000
spent a lot of time this holidays on my knees

102
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:35,199
like not like like playing card games with my kids and stuff

103
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:40,319
shout out and once again

104
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:45,919
i am going through the usual freaking thing that i go through with a mac

105
00:07:43,599 --> 00:07:50,880
where i don't know how to do anything smb colon slash slash no we don't use

106
00:07:49,039 --> 00:07:58,240
backslashes on the mac we use forward slashes all right so let's find the test folder

107
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:02,639
i want to test out that 10 gigabit networking

108
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:05,120
fortunately i have a 10 gigabit switch

109
00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:09,599
right here ready to freaking rock because i am ready

110
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:15,440
for the 10 gigabit revolution here as usual the screen is gorgeous can never

111
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:17,440
fault apple for the display

112
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:20,319
you can fault them for not remembering what bloody button to press to make the

113
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:26,080
oh oh look at it go yeah it's more brightness

114
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:30,639
than any than any man needs hey what is this 12 gigs 12 gig file here we go here

115
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:36,479
we go you guys ready for the 12 gig file to the raid 0

116
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:39,599
SSD boot drive look at that go

117
00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:41,680
oh it's beautiful

118
00:08:39,599 --> 00:08:46,320
it's not actually that fast it's pretty fast yeah i know that's pretty fast so

119
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:51,120
we're doing like 300 megabytes a second for apple people that's really fast

120
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:54,480
oh quick time i can't double click to make it full screen

121
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:58,720
wow i guess i better go find a hotkey

122
00:08:56,560 --> 00:09:02,640
i don't know what it is oh am i really going to make myself use

123
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:06,800
this thing again for all my software frustrations though

124
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:12,800
i mean if you're gonna run Windows on it this is the sexiest

125
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:16,720
Windows all-in-one that's for sure so let me know guys this is just an

126
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:20,000
unboxing but we're gonna have a review coming at least

127
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:24,080
i want to take a look at the upgrade experience as well it's got a vega 56 in

128
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,600
it so i'd love to look at the gaming experience too but let us know in the

129
00:09:25,839 --> 00:09:32,000
comments on this video what you guys want to hear from us

130
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:37,279
about the mac maybe another really interesting piece would be

131
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,200
building out a top of the line imac pro

132
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:42,880
so we've actually got some spare chips that we could upgrade it with we could

133
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:47,279
get this pretty close to full spec and then how it would compare price-wise

134
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:51,760
to a top-of-the-line pc workstation something like this this thing can take

135
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,680
up to two zeon processors so

136
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:59,519
