WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.160
oh how much did we spend on this

00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:13.200
being a hundred percent honest with you guys i actually don't know james how

00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:16.640
much did we spend on this thing six grand

00:00:14.719 --> 00:00:20.080
is that the base bottle not quite but almost

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:24.910
ah it's too bad praying to the apple gods

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:27.969
doesn't make their products any cheaper

00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:39.760
okay so apple is finally

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:45.680
demonstrating in a way with like a real actual product that you can really

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:48.000
actually buy that they give a

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:52.800
about the enthusiast prosumer slash

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:55.440
professional all those categories because

00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:59.680
for a while there you could make a pretty strong argument

00:00:58.239 --> 00:01:05.600
for them just giving exactly zero f's about any of

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:11.920
those groups of end users

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:15.200
this is the imac pro and i have been

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:17.280
known to give apple crap about throwing

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

00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:28.080
and fuzzy and professional but this thing does look pretty pro

00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:33.759
spec wise our model rocks a 27 inch display 5k

00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:35.920
xeon w the w is for workstation pro

00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:41.200
workstation okay we're on the same page so far 32 gigs of ecc memory one

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:46.640
terabyte SSD a vega 56 graphics card okay that's not especially professional

00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:50.159
facetime camera four Thunderbolt 3 ports and

00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:55.920
something that i've been asking for proper support from apple for for quite

00:01:53.200 --> 00:02:00.880
some time something i actually didn't realize that this was gonna have until i

00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:05.759
saw it on the box oh i'm sorry brandon wow this is a lot

00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:05.759
of packaging

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:12.959
gotta give apple credit they uh they want stuff to get to you in one

00:02:10.959 --> 00:02:15.840
piece did i did i say what the thing was that

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:22.800
i had 10 gigabit networking because

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:23.680
for years apple has been on the

00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:29.120
no we don't need 10 gigabit lan because we

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:33.599
have Thunderbolt train but the reality is that

00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:38.800
Thunderbolt is a point to point connection

00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:40.720
which is great for end user or prosumer

00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:45.680
but as soon as you need to share resources

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:48.560
Ethernet is the way to go like if our

00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:53.280
workplace was set up around the mac it would be nearly impossible for one

00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:58.800
person to pick up where someone else left off on a project if somebody phoned

00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:02.879
in sick for example what the hell

00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:06.239
look at all the packaging for this power cord

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

00:03:09.519 --> 00:03:16.560
then this entire look at the box they designed to hold this power cord

00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.920
i mean i'm all for a great unboxing experience

00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:24.080
and everything but this was three pieces

00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:30.800
i mean three easily recyclable

00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:30.800
brown cardboard pieces mind you but like

00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:35.360
four pieces four pieces

00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.879
world's most amazing power cord

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

00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:53.519
computer well we won't be needing these

00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:58.239
gaming peripherals although vega 56 graphics card i mean

00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:03.040
you could game on this thing do some cryptocurrency mining

00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:06.560
well this is professional look at that a number pad

00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:12.799
so there are some improvements even to the peripherals that from my personal

00:04:08.799 --> 00:04:15.439
experience are legendarily non-ergonomic

00:04:12.799 --> 00:04:20.079
the keyboard's okay but i'm still not a fan of this mouse design

00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:23.919
got your gesture nonsense on the top you got your left you got your right click

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:29.759
yeah okay i always get this feeling when i'm

00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:32.080
opening up apple products that

00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:38.800
like because i don't worship them as a company i'm like somehow undeserving

00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:44.560
of an experience right now that someone else somewhere on earth

00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:46.800
would just be so excited for

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:51.680
i just they're doing a lot right here

00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:55.199
but i'm still not necessarily sold on six thousand dollars for this

00:04:53.280 --> 00:05:01.040
particular spec regardless of whether it's canadian rupees or us dollars

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:05.520
wow it's really light and they actually managed to i mean at

00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:09.759
least to the naked eye i don't have the old

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:13.120
previous imac for comparison because i sold it

00:05:11.440 --> 00:05:19.039
but to the eye doesn't look that big by comparison so

00:05:15.840 --> 00:05:21.759
they have crammed a lot of performance

00:05:19.039 --> 00:05:25.360
in here i will say this though they have clearly left larger

00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:29.199
vents for cooling back there look at that and

00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:32.800
what's also interesting back here is that gone

00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:36.000
is the convenient hatch where you can access your memory modules to upgrade

00:05:34.880 --> 00:05:40.240
them i o wise we've got your audio connectors

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:46.000
still on the back i guess we were not getting away from that sd card reader

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:48.240
nice to see four usb 3s of some flavor

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:53.840
or another four Thunderbolt that is gorgeous and 10 gigabit lan that's

00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:58.000
really exciting to me personally because once apple does it other people start

00:05:56.320 --> 00:06:01.919
taking it seriously and 10 gig networking is something that really

00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:06.319
really needs to happen uh down here is where we've got all of

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:10.080
our intake vents all along the bottom and so this guy must be the exhaust

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:14.960
right over here got your cable management hole here i really like the

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

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

00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:29.919
aesthetic is really really nice it screams professional and not in that way

00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:34.400
that's like i'm a professional you know like glossy plastic or something like

00:06:31.840 --> 00:06:39.280
that no like it actually looks pro so the rumor is that apple has a

00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:43.039
replacement to the mac pro coming like a proper replacement like a desktop

00:06:41.919 --> 00:06:46.400
computer with a separate monitor and a cable

00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:50.880
between them you know like an actual workstation coming

00:06:49.039 --> 00:06:55.440
but for the time being this is the highest end product

00:06:54.000 --> 00:07:01.199
in their lineup and as much as that like kind of sucks

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

00:07:03.919 --> 00:07:09.599
paid for and this powerful computer that

00:07:07.039 --> 00:07:13.199
i also paid for are just married together forever this

00:07:11.919 --> 00:07:18.400
was something i complained about with the previous 5k imac the fact that you

00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:22.560
can't just use it as a monitor with like a future apple desktop

00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:26.960
but with that said it's not a terrible looking machine

00:07:25.039 --> 00:07:32.000
spent a lot of time this holidays on my knees

00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:35.199
like not like like playing card games with my kids and stuff

00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:40.319
shout out and once again

00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:45.919
i am going through the usual freaking thing that i go through with a mac

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

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

00:07:55.840 --> 00:08:02.639
i want to test out that 10 gigabit networking

00:07:59.520 --> 00:08:05.120
fortunately i have a 10 gigabit switch

00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:09.599
right here ready to freaking rock because i am ready

00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:15.440
for the 10 gigabit revolution here as usual the screen is gorgeous can never

00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:17.440
fault apple for the display

00:08:15.440 --> 00:08:20.319
you can fault them for not remembering what bloody button to press to make the

00:08:19.440 --> 00:08:26.080
oh oh look at it go yeah it's more brightness

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

00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:36.479
we go you guys ready for the 12 gig file to the raid 0

00:08:32.640 --> 00:08:39.599
SSD boot drive look at that go

00:08:36.479 --> 00:08:41.680
oh it's beautiful

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

00:08:43.760 --> 00:08:51.120
we're doing like 300 megabytes a second for apple people that's really fast

00:08:49.040 --> 00:08:54.480
oh quick time i can't double click to make it full screen

00:08:52.640 --> 00:08:58.720
wow i guess i better go find a hotkey

00:08:56.560 --> 00:09:02.640
i don't know what it is oh am i really going to make myself use

00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:06.800
this thing again for all my software frustrations though

00:09:05.760 --> 00:09:12.800
i mean if you're gonna run Windows on it this is the sexiest

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

00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:20.000
unboxing but we're gonna have a review coming at least

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

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

00:09:25.839 --> 00:09:32.000
comments on this video what you guys want to hear from us

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:37.279
about the mac maybe another really interesting piece would be

00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:39.200
building out a top of the line imac pro

00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:42.880
so we've actually got some spare chips that we could upgrade it with we could

00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:47.279
get this pretty close to full spec and then how it would compare price-wise

00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:51.760
to a top-of-the-line pc workstation something like this this thing can take

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:53.680
up to two zeon processors so

00:09:51.760 --> 00:09:59.519
