HEAVY HITTER It certainly looks the part, but is it worth shelling out for Apple’s latest all-in-one workstation that’s targeted at creatives
HEAVY HITTER
iMac Pro

Apple released the iMac Pro as “the most powerful Mac ever made,” and we’re inclined to agree. This all-in-one packs a punch that’s considerably heftier than that of the iMac 2017 and even the iMac 2019.

Yet the iMac Pro doesn’t just have sheer power for the sake of it. This workstation is designed for creative professionals, finely tuned to revolutionise any creative workflow. It’s highly configurable, enabling you to curate the perfect iMac Pro for your needs, as well as your wallet.

The base model goes for £4,899, which admittedly is pretty expensive for mainstream consumers. If you do have the funds, though, that base model is more than enough for many creative endeavours. It touts an 27- inch 5K Retina display, an eight-core Intel Xeon W processor, AMD Radeon Vega 56 (8GB) graphics, 32GB of error-correcting code (ECC) memory and a 1TB solid-state drive.

You can max out the iMac Pro with an 18-core Intel Xeon W chip, 256GB of RAM, 4TB of SSD storage and the same AMD Radeon Vega 64X GPU for £13,269. That’s a substantial investment, but with it you’re getting a lot of power and storage. You can also fine-tune each of these configurations even further, picking any combination of storage amount, processor and graphics card type, and memory size that will fulfil your needs and budget.
