Probably been said by now but as cool as this sounds I hope it doesn't preclude a new Mac Pro. I could see moving to this but would prefer an updated modular Mac Pro.
Were people asking for these things in an iMac? Just update the damn Mac Pro already.
Where's the preorder? Thought this doesn't go up until Dec. I'll get in line even if I may change my mind.
Starting at $4999?! 
The way Intel prices their Xeons and Apple their Ram and SSD upgrades, it could well be the first iMac to break the $10K mark! Think about that for a second.

Wet excited about the iMac Pro, something they didn't say but eluded to in the MacBook presentation is the eGPU solutions over Thunderbolt 3 I'm guessing you could run another Vega card along side the internal.
Pretty sure they could've just gone with the Core i9s and non ecc ram, which would end up a bit cheaper too, but **** yeah Mac VR is going to be awesome

Of course it isn't.
Did anybody bother to read Apple's own statements on the Mac Pro and iMac Pro from a few months back? They said a new iMac Pro was coming (though nobody expected it to be as powerful as what was announced) and that a new Mac Pro would be coming in 2018.
Yes they have been in the 2017 iMac Refresh Wishlist thread.
So... 18 core CPU, 8GB Graphics, 128GB RAM - how much is that going to cost do we reckon? I use Word a lot so that would be just up my street!
Apple's own sales figures. 20% of Mac sales are desktops and of those, over 90% are iMacs and next is the Mac Pro. So that means the Mac Mini is probably 1% or less of all Mac sales - or around 50,000 units a quarter. Which is not chump numbers, I guess, but still pales compared to Mac Pros, much less iMacs (to say nothing of the laptops).

In addition to the new iMac Pro, Apple is working on a completely redesigned, next-generation Mac Pro architected for pro customers who need the highest-end, high-throughput system in a modular design, as well as a new high-end pro display.

Have they confirmed 2018?
The iMac Pro looks like the computer that Apple thought they could replace the Mac Pro with, until that realised that some people actually need a desktop rather that an all in one iMac.
Pointless, this will leave you in dual channel mode. Only 96 GB provides triple channel.
....and so would a Ferrari, a castle in Scotland and a 425' yacht in the Mediterranean, if I had the money too.

Baseline is 8 cores, 32gbs, 1TB SSD.
My only reservation is the price

I'm pretty sure you could buy a $10k Quadra 950, or perhaps even a IIfx.
What is this? Apple propaganda machine? You can't place an order until december!
Nice try
High-core CPUs. Vega GPUs. USB-C and USB-A. Everything the forums have been asking for for six months and people are already complaining about it in the WDCC and iMac Update threads.
Literally no one has asked for those things in a non-upgradable integrated configuration. What most of us want is an expandable, upgradable, usable Mac Pro unlike the current generation, not a iMac Pro.
Wired calls the iMac Pro 'Apple’s Most Bonkers Computer Ever'.
