Hmmm… It’s going to be interesting to see how well the iMac handles gaming. I think that if you can get past the down scale from 5k to 1080p it’ll be totally worth it. That GPU is actually pretty awesome.
Hopefully, next year they’ll just dismiss 16 and go straight to 64/128/256GB (why not after all?)! I know I ask a lot, and yet that would blow the competition. With a blink of an eye. But whatever, they are still far ahead of the other guys… :) My brother brought some ridiculos Xido tablet. I have no clue what brand that is, but it’s… bad, it’s very bad. We should be so happy that Apple exist, believe me! :)
is that available in the retail store today?
Macs are getting too expensive. In the past Apple added features without increasing prices. Now they’re aiming to the luxury market, so prices are skyrocketing. And, anyway, their new OSes suck.
good try but that’s pretty much the opposite of what Apple is doing. today, for the first time, Apple is selling a $499 Mac. Meanwhile, for the past few years, they’ve consistently been keeping a lower end or previous model available at lower prices while announcing newer, ‘luxury’ models as you call it. Eventually those products become the more affordable entry level or previous generation models.
The new entry Mac mini has horrible specs. No model of it has 4 core processors anymore and they scrapeped the server model. The non retina iMac and saw one upgraded Odell this year, again an under powered entry model they lowered the price on.
Apple hasn’t upgraded the specs on iMac’s this year or lowered price for standard spec models. They have simply added very low speced machines at a slightly lower prices then the previous entry models. On the Mac mini up you pay the same for the previously same speced machine.
Apple is releasing higher resolution screens and higher resolution cameras that require apps to take more space and photos that take up more space yet are keeping 16 GB as standard on all I devices.
Apple isn’t giving near the value for the dollar they used to. The entry Mac mini they released yesterday and entry iMac they added this summer would be education only models under Steve Jobs. He would never sold these under speced models to the general public.
I hope all my internet girlfriends hurry up and buy some 5K webcams!
Nice machine, no doubt about that.
But the price is astonishingly atrocious.
Better to wait a few years for newer iterations to come to market.
Imagine what else you can buy with that money, can get a used car.
buy a 5K display and hook it up to your favorite computer. let me know how that works out for you price-wise.
Don’t think you quite understand.
You’re comparing American prices.
Over here in the EU it costs 3426.58 U.S. dollars for the same machine.
I can’t justify the purchase with it still having Haswell chips. $2500 for a computer you can only upgrade the memory is way to much. With Skylake coming next year or early the next and even Broadwell if Intel ever gets it out the door it doesn’t make since to pay $2500 for aging architecture.
Soon there will be type c USB and many advantages that Skylake will offerer. It’s a pretty screen, but it not something a non photographer or video editor needs. Hate that the non retina iMac’s didn’t get a spec bump, Now I’m going to have to wait till they upgrade the non retina models to Broadwell. The new Mac mini’s are not powerful enough for me and I don’t need 14.7 million pixels and $2500 computer I can’t upgrade.
