So good to know I am not ever going to spend $52199 on a - maxed out -Mac Desktop.

I wonder if anyone at all on macrumors will buy one of these. Now we need the real world version of this for the rest of us.
 
Disappointed in the base SSD and GPU.

Otherwise it’s 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Would be nice if they replaced the iMac Pro CPUs with Cascadelake Xeons, too.
 
Not seeing pricing for the Afterburner card...coming soon Radeon Pro 5700X and 8TB SSD option.

The 1.5TB DRAM Pricing is really not bad, neither are any of the CPU options.

For those who need this beast, the pricing is not bad.

I think that W5700x is going to be a much better option than the 580x though I'm interested to see what the pricing on it ends up being.

$77 / week over 5 years. New Zealand. for an average setup. $20,000 NZD - I thought it would be bad, but this is unjustifiable. End of story. Trashcan will do until next threadripper.

$90,000 for a fully expanded macpro - I'll sell you a brand new 3 bed house for less than that! And I should know - we manufacture them!
 
I don't get why the usual suspects (iJustine, MKBHD, Jonathan Morrison, etc) got this from Apple for free.

They didn't. Review units are loaners.

This is for film and music studios, architecture and design companies, not for simple 10-minute YouTube videos. It really doesn't make sense to me.

You might be vastly underestimating how expensive that "simple 10-minute YouTube video" is to produce.
 
Disappointed in the base SSD and GPU.

Given that both of those have a "coming soon" note, I wouldn't be surprised if we'll see the 256 being swapped for a 512 (effectively doubling each option, going from 512 to 8 instead of 256 to 4), and all Radeons for Navis.
 
The price isn’t too bad if your an extreme Apple fan or pro-sumer or business, that’s the baseline model I’m talking about, without the XDR display. It’s certainly a machine that will last for many years with lots of expandability that’s for sure.
Compared to the baseline iMac Pro it’s not a massive jump in price, and sure you lose some GPU power or storage but you gain that huge expandability.
 
Ordered two, maxed out, with six XDRs each. One for me. One for my dog.

Not really, but I did get one XDR, with nano glass, and stand. Between my corporate discount and the 6% back from Apple Card, came up to just under $6,600 including tax/AppleCare. Delivers in January, which is annoying.
