Turbo Boost up to 4.5GHz

Memory

32GB or 64GB or 128GB

Create a powerful workstation by connecting two RAID systems and two 5K displays to the four Thunderbolt 3 ports. Then see your work on a 44‑million‑pixel canvas

I did, I said I'm not fond of the form factor.

I want an apple with USB-C Thunderbolt 3 ports because i dont want to invest in peripherals that have effectively obsolete ports, and i don't want it to ship with a giant screen.

Also, I want to put the computer fans AWAY from my ears and head. (obviously im not gonna run 27" Retina screen closed in a closet with external screens.)

So basically, I can't get a modern apple computer that doesn't ship with a giant screen, or that has more than four cores.

Actually, the Macs tend to become obsolete more that the attached peripheral devices.

Case and point...

I have a MacMini server that I could upgrade to 16GB of ram and I have two 500GB 7200rpm hard drives in it. They don't make that anymore.

MacBook Pros can't upgrade their ram.

Yet, thunderbolt is still there with both Macs.

I have thunderbolt on the MacMini server but I've yet to use it since I have 2 500GB 7200rpm hard drives not to mentioned that I have a USB3 hard drive connected as  well.

I own a iMac and have never had a hearing issue with the fan because I've never heard it.

Now I'm waiting on seeing what the price will be on this new iMac Pro.

Here's a thread with some thoughts on the new iMac, one conclusion there is that the new iMac Pro isn't always the best mac for Logic use...

Never would I buy an all in one computer. Crazy.

Imagine having to ship that giant screen somewhere to get fixed or whatever.

You can put a mac pro in your suitcase, and you can easily replace a display screen too.

Just my opinion.

Yeah but I already have to run a dongle with my audio interface. When i replace my equipment, computer, audio interface, etc, i don't want a ton of dongles, I want a direct USB-C TB3 connection. And if I buy the terribly outdated TB2 trash-can, while or the peripherals is moving to TB3.

+ i want to be able to move stuff. I can't afford two high-powered machines, and sometimes I work elsewhere. Carrying a 27" iMac or only a trashcan or a macbook is two different scenarios.

+ maybe i want a different screen setup?

in either way, stick the iMac Pro specs in the trashcan form and I'll poor money over it.

+ I want the superfast drive from the new MBPs. 

You know, I want an up to date desktop solution... Without a screen... And I bet thousand of people do to.

And fans from iMacs and MacBooks are terrible when in a *quiet* environment such as studio. It's a big difference if the machine is in another room or even behind the desk, then if its blowing directly to your face.
