    iMac Pro Anyone experiencing faster-than-stated shipping on iMac Pro?

    Just ordered the 10-core iMac Pro, with expected delivery between Feb 20 and Feb 27. I have a project coming up that I'm hoping to use it for, but it might arrive just too late for it. Essentially, just curious if people have found their iMac Pros ship faster than expected?

    Hi, for giggles, I compared the top of the line (old) I-mac vs the basic I-mac pro: For a US$1.100,- more, the I-mac Pro does not seem to offer much more than just the (cool) darker colour and obvious evidence (for those around to you) that you, in fact, got the Pro! Is there anything...
