Apple iMac Pro Goes on Sale December 14th (engadget.com)

Apple vowed to ship the iMac Pro in December, and it's making good on that promise. From a report: The company has confirmed that its workstation-grade all-in-one will be available on December 14th. It has yet to reveal the exact configuration options, but the $4,999 'starter' model ships with an 8-core Xeon processor, 32GB of RAM, 1TB of solid-state storage and a Radeon Vega graphics chipset with 8GB of RAM. You can option it with up to an 18-core Xeon, 128GB of RAM, a 4TB SSD and a 16GB Vega chipset, although video creator Marques Brownlee notes that you'll have to wait until the new year for that 18-core beast.

    Imagine spending $4999 on one of these

    It has 8 USB ports so I kind of look at it as $625 per port. My Mac Pro was $4800 and only has 4 USB ports, so I'd say this is a significantly better value than what I have. I'll be waiting outside the Apple Store on Thursday to pick one up.

    Dude, the Mac mini is only $499 and also has four USB ports. At only $125 per port, it's a much better value!

    They didn't eliminate it? What a bunch of cowards.

    I am not Christian so I guess I don't get a Christmas bonus. In government IT we don't call them "Christmas" bonuses. It is culturally insensitive.

    What's a "forth" mistake?

    Two pops and one push. Or two pushes and one pop.
