iMac Pro was launched at the end of last year by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), as a perfect solution for professionals who need a lot of processor power and want a product with such a format. Apple sells it separately from the iMac only for professionals who have enough money to spend on such a product, but is it worth it?

In the video clip below, we can see a comparison between a $14.000 iMac Pro and a $5700 iMac, both of which have the "maximum" configurations that can be purchased from Apple. The price difference between the two versions of the iMac is very large, but according to the one who made the video clip, it is not worth paying under any circumstances.

The iMac Pro will do a lot of things faster than the iMac, but because of the software that is not well developed enough, things are not like that in every task. It seems that the processing power of the iMac Pro is not used to its maximum capacity by all applications for macOS, and this makes the product very expensive, if it is not faster in everything than a simple iMac.

The number of people who can afford to spend $14.000 for an iMac Pro is extremely limited, and for them time matters, so the speed with which the product does its job will equal the purchase costs. However, considering that very few people can afford to do this, we won't see many comparisons like the one below.
