The computer looks a lot like the existing iMac. Except there's a lot more lurking beneath that grey metal



Apple has released its most powerful computer ever.
The iMac Pro looks like the traditional computer that hasn't changed in years, except with a darker, space grey finish. But inside it has been completely revamped, with Apple redesigning the inside of the Mac so that it can shove more processing power and other guts inside.
The computer has gone on sale today, and will begin at £4,999, though all sorts of expensive additions can be added to get it all the way to top speed. Users can pay for a processor with a full 18 cores, for instance, if they're unhappy with the already incredibly fast 8-core processor that comes in the base model.
The computer was first unveiled at Apple's Worldwide Developers' Conference in the summer. But little has been said about it ever since, until a page appeared on the Apple website and they started being sent out to developers and other pros.

Together it is intended to be far and away the most powerful computer that Apple has ever released. It hopes that by doing so it can overcome professionals' fears about the Mac Pro – which was praised on its release in 2013 but hasn't been updated since, and left them worrying that Apple would not longer make a computer suitable for work like video editing.
It's thought that iMac Pro was once intended to entirely replace the bin-shaped Mac Pro. But it held an event in April that recognised people still wanted the modular, separate design and said it would bring out a new version of the computer next year.
