I will tell you what matters, the OS and that is all that matters to most Mac users, figure it out. We get screwed over all the time and we don't love Apple for it like you guys imply. $5000.00 for a base level iMac? Get real. I can buy a used PC for a couple hundred, why don't I?

You aren't talking about a "base model iMac", itsahoot.

That $5000 price is for the workstation class iMac Pro which comes with a 27-inch Retina 5K 5120-by-2880 P3 display, the latest 3.2GHz 8-core Intel Xeon W processor (that by itself sells for around $2300!), 32GB 2666MHz ECC memory, and a 1 TB HIGH-SPEED SSD which you might find on NewEgg for $999. . . not a base model iMac which starts as low as $1099 for a 21.5" 1920-by-1080 sRGB display with a 2.3GHz dual-core 7th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB, and a 1TB HD drive, or $1299 with a Retina 4K 4096-by-2304 P3 display with a 3.0GHz quad-core 7th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, 8gb, and a 1TB HD drive,

Yeah I knew that just didn't type Pro. I built out an iMac last night, I don't need one for what I do but it lets me be current. I think it priced out at $1,799.00 and that will likely outlast me. I have been using Apple products since before the 80 column card.
