    iMac Pro What if....Merging the Mac Pro and iMac Pro Family

    Just a thought...... I've seen very little about what exactly is meant by "modular" for the new MacPro. I was just giving it a little thought and was wondering what that might mean.

    iMac Pro Dual/triple monitor suggestions for iMac Pro?

    Trying to get my iMac Pro setup such that I have secondary monitors placed on the left and right sides of the iMac. The Apple USB-C to Thunderbolt adapter doesn't support video, so I purchased a Sonnet USB-C to Dual DisplayPort adapter and attached my previous 24" screens. Sadly, this made for...

    iMac Pro - Parallels or VMware Fusion

    While I used Macbook and iOS devices for quite a while, I just moved as my main machine from a 6 core i7 Windows to iMac Pro (10 core, 64 GB RAM). I couldn't be happier with the switch with the power of the machine and how quiet it is. However I have instances where I still need some Windows...

    iMac Pro Anyone experiencing faster-than-stated shipping on iMac Pro?

    Just ordered the 10-core iMac Pro, with expected delivery between Feb 20 and Feb 27. I have a project coming up that I'm hoping to use it for, but it might arrive just too late for it. Essentially, just curious if people have found their iMac Pros ship faster than expected?

    iMac Pro iMac top of the range vs. basic iMac Pro...

    Hi, for giggles, I compared the top of the line (old) I-mac vs the basic I-mac pro: For a US$1.100,- more, the I-mac Pro does not seem to offer much more than just the (cool) darker colour and obvious evidence (for those around to you) that you, in fact, got the Pro! Is there anything...

    iMac Pro iMac Pro image retention normal or not?

    Is it an inherent flaw that all LG panels dating back from late 2012 iMacs to the new models including the iMac Pro all suffer image retention/persistence/ghosting? I noticed my late 2012 iMac 27", returned iMac Pro, and current iMac Pro with upgraded RAM seem to all be affected. I can easily...
