The Mac Pro was designed with the environment in mind, including 100 percent recycled rare earth elements in all magnets, and 100 percent recycled gold plating and tin soldering in multiple printed circuit boards. The Mac Pro also uses far less energy than desktop computers in the same class, and over 40 percent less than the ENERGY STAR efficiency requirement. The Mac Pro is free of mercury, PVC, beryllium, and over 95 percent of the packaging is fiber based.

Q: 1. Are there known issues with the iMac Pro and the Logitech MX Master mouse?

A: No issues reported on our end.

Q: 2. what are the parts that can be upgraded later

A: I upgraded from a iMac (late 2012) to a iMac Pro (late 2017). I would recommend purchasing a fully loaded iMac Pro that will meet all your needs now, and in the distant future. From my research, once the iMac Pro is constructed, it is sealed in such a way that a authorized technician will be required to minimize any damage and put your warranty in jeopardy. It appears you can have RAM upgraded, but it is not as easy to install, as in previous model iMacs.

Q: 3. Is there a way to order both the mouse and matching trackpad with the iMac Pro? I only see the mouse listed, and the trackpad is not listed in possible accessories.

A: If you wanted the trackpad, I would recommend ordering it separately. We will not be getting systems with both in the box.

Q: 4. Is it Worth it?I had an iMac for 8 years. I was able to upgrade the RAM after 4 years. I paid $3000.00 plus at the time got great life with little hassle. The PC Operating System has gotten better...There seem to be less viruses than the past...and the operating system..Windows 10 is quite stable. Is it worth paying for an iMac Pro that I can do little to for upgrading something as simple as Ram. I can get a PC that is kitted out and at least upgrade a few components if needed. I don't know tthis time around Apple if I truly want to give you my Money.-2nd Guest

A: It depends on how you plan to use the iMac Pro. If you commonly use multiple applications at the same time; work with video editing and format conversion; develop software, or undertake complex simulations, then the iMac Pro would be a great option. If you use your computer for word processing, spreadsheets, web browsing; and similar work, then an a new standard iMac is a great option. I would recommend that you avoid configuring a standard iMac with a top end CPU and GPU because of heat management issues that cause the fans to run, which can annoy some users. The iMac Pro has a completely different dual fan cooling system and I have yet to hear the iMac Pro's fan run. Also not that the CPU, memory, and flash drives are upgradable with the new iMac Pro, but it's something probably best left to a certified Apple service facility. With 32 GB of RAM the minimum configuration for the iMac Pro, you should be in great shape for a long time, unless you begin to work with 4K video in the future. Actually, the iMac Pro is a pretty good deal if you just consider the costs of a Xeon W series CPU, the Radeon Pro Vega graphics processor, the insanely fast flash drive, the stunning 5K monitor, and 32GB of 2666MHz DDR4 ECC memory. Plus the iMac has a second separate GPU, the T2, that manages overhead activities and security.

Q: 5. Can you upgrade the RAM yourself on the iMac Pro?

A: Probably not a good idea... I seen on the web where they used what looks like a small Pizza cutter to break the seal between the metal frame and the glass (don't even bother with the heating process). then I seen the dude handle the memory sticks without a grounding wrist band and a connector to ground. I worked in the computer industry for over 46 years, and what I saw could do more damage with ESD to the entire system. If you have the grounding system and really want to do this, then have at it with a great deal of caution. However, you could end up with a $5,000+ dead computer and I doubt that Apple will cover your loss...

Q: 6. Has anyone edited with this machine with RED raw footage? Looking to upgrade and find minimum specs required to edit in 4k with 8k raw footage

A: All I do is edit on iMac Pro, both Raw and Pro Res. I have a 3.2 Intel Xeon Processor, 64 GB 2666 MHz DDR4, and the better Vega 64 Graphics Card. One thing I regret is not blowing out the memory. Although the Pro is faster than my 2013, it is definitely not the powerhouse it was cracked up to be. Unless you're doing straightforward cuts you will be waiting for effects to to render, even simple transitions. Overall I'm disappointed with the Pro, the price tag is high for a machine that is not as blazing fast as advertised. It does crash from time to time which I did not expect. When I have time I will contact apple and troubleshoot, there are bugs. Hope that helps.

Q: 7. Photoshop CS6 is working with Mojave OS on my current Mac. What OS does the iMac pro come with? BH says CS6 will not work with iMac pro. If that is the case I will have to get a regular iMac loaded with extra ram and a 1T ssd hard drive. Any opinions out there. Thanks, Sam

A: Adobe software older than the Creative Cloud (CC) versions are not officially supported on macOS 10.14 Mojave. The computers now will come with 10.14 Mojave.

Q: 8. What do you do with dust accumulation inside the iMac?

A: Hi Ryan, I've owned my iMac Pro for a few months, with no dust accumulation. Cheers, Nick

Q: 9. Currently (late December, 2020 and January 2021) what operating system is installed in the IMAC PROs ? Can the Imac be purchased with Mojave OS (NOT BigSUR)?

A: It is uncertain which version of MacOS is installed at time of purchase. Which OS is installed is dependent upon when the computer was manufactured and what the macOS version was current at the time - that information is also not available on the packaging.

Q: 10. Are there any Imac pro owners who are editing 4k with gh5?what are the optimum specs for editing GH5 4K?thank you

A: Hey Kenny, I am editing 4k video from my Sony A7Sii with the new iMac Pro on FCPX 4.1. I don't have gh5. I got the maxed-out 16 processor system and I have not had any issues. I have background rendering selected and everything works smoothly. Best of luck!
