    Pro Mac setup

    Configure your iMac Pro

    For near-as-dammit $7.5K, you’d want a Mac that’s ready to use, and that’s what you get with the base iMac Pro. The single terabyte of PCIe SSD is acceptable considering you’ll always need external storage, and there are four Thunderbolt 3 ports for that.

    32GB of RAM is reasonable, but creative pros have been using this amount for a while, so it may not feel very future-proof. Doubling it is a $600 option, a 100% markup on the market price. Because they had to rejig the internals to achieve the increase in cooling required for the Pro’s CPUs and GPUs (achieved in near-silence, a remarkable feat) the iMac 27-inch’s access hatch doesn’t exist in this almost entirely upgrade-proof machine.
