Apple has acknowledged that it needs to do better and on Monday it addressed some of these concerns by unveiling a new iMac Pro with super-fast Intel Xeon chips, Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s Radeon Vega graphics processor, and up to 128 GB of pre-installed RAM.
"This will be our fastest and most powerful Mac ever, which brings workstation-class computing to iMac for the first time", said John Ternus, Apple's vice president of Hardware Engineering.
The new iMacs will run you from anywhere between $1099 for the base configuration of the 21.5 inch model up to a starting price of $1799 for the 5K 27-inch iMac. The all-in-one devices will also feature up to 32GB and 64GB of RAM for the 21.5- and 27-inch devices, respectively, alongside up to 2TB of SSD storage that is 50% faster compared to the previous generation. It features an Intel Kaby Lake processor, dubbed the Core i7, running at 3.5 gigahertz with turbo boost up to 4.0 GHz.
Graphics on iMac are much more powerful across the line with the new Radeon Pro 500-series graphics with up to 8GB of vRAM.
As for pricing and availability, the new updated iMac models will be made available for order in the USA starting Monday via company's official online store, apple.com, and will be made available for purchase in the USA starting Wednesday via Apple Stores. All in all, it looks like even if the MacBook Air is still alive, it's not in its best possible shape especially if we also take into consideration the fact that it will not even receive Intel's Kaby Lake processors. Apple has an all-new thermal design under the hood that claims to deliver 80 percent additional cooling capacity in the same thin iMac design.

Today the EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said talks should begin "when the United Kingdom is ready". The Northern Irish party said they would consider coming to a "confidence and supply" agreement.
The newest desktop by Apple has been developed under the legacy form factor of the iMac, but its internal architecture is tailored to meet the most demanding standards of performance. It ships with the new AMD Radeon Pro Vega GPU with 16GB of HBM2 memory.
Among these outputs is Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C), of which the iMac Pro has four ports.
The new MacBook Pro said to come with up to 10 hours of battery life.
The iPad pro also features a screen refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, which should make for faster scrolling and graphics display.
Graphics is an area that Apple has really stepped things up, though.
