Buy a New Apple iMac or Wait for iMac Pro?

I have, however, compiled some of my initial impressions regarding Apple's refreshed desktop and laptop line-up. Storage on the entry-level models has also been doubled to 64GB. The 9.7-inch is too small, the 12.9-inch is too big, but the new 10.5-inch is just right, or so logic dictates. The world's most powerful Mac also sports all the ports you could want, including four Thunderbolt 3 ports, a SDXC card slot, a USB 3 and, for the first time on any Mac, a 10GB Ethernet port.

Last year's high-end stock configuration 15-inch MacBook Pro came with a 2.7GHz sixth-generation Core i7 and has average single-core and multi-core scores of 4,098 and 13,155, respectively. That said, it won't be as powerful as a spec'd out Surface Pro, if that's what you're thinking. Zeroing in on that upgraded display, I happen to have a 4K iMac on my desk in NY, so to me the bump in brightness is subtle at best, at least if I'm relying on my memory and unable to do a side-by-side comparison today in California. This means no Retina display, improved storage or even some RAM bumps.

It is the third time that Apple has used an ultra-slim chassis for the MacBook, which it had introduced back in 2015. It teased the iMac Pro, a 27-inch all-in-one desktop PC with a workstation-class 8- to 18-core Intel Xeon processor and AMD Radeon Pro Vega discrete graphics, all built into a familiar-looking space gray chassis. While the new products aren't expected to arrive in India until the end of this month, a report from Gadgets360 has revealed prices for all the new iPad Pro and Mac products announced by Apple on Monday. While there's no major overhaul happening, all of these make for solid speed upgrades unless you bought a new MacBook Pro previous year. With an all-flash architecture and all-new thermal design, iMac Pro delivers up to 80% more cooling capacity in the same thin and seamless iMac design. The iPad Pro has a 12.9-inch screen, boasting a resolution of 2,732 x 2,048.

Design: In terms of design, the MacBook Pro 2017 might seem pretty similar to its predecessor. Both the new 10.5-inch and the refreshed 12.9-inch models have the 64-bit A10X Fusion chipset inside, with a six-core CPU and a 12-core GPU. This milestone launch of Mac-based virtual reality goes hand-in-hand with the graphical performance improvements of the new iMacs. We have multiple 13-inch MacBook Pro models, including a new $1,299 option that is a better deal than the MacBook Air. Imagine their disappointment when, upon opening the 2017 Retina MacBook and 2017 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, they were, instead, hit hard with a major case of deja vu. It's also worth noting that the SSD drives across Apple's entire MacBook line have been updated, as well.

With attention on the HomePod, iOS 11 and other popular Apple devices, most failed to take notice of the MacBook Air.
