Why do I sense an iPad 3 situation incoming.

Yo we got a 5k display!
Wow really?
Yes!
Why does it run all choppy?
Did I mention it is 5k?

Can you use iMacs simply as monitors if you choose to upgrade down the line?

 

[oatmeal]

Wow...5K screen.

Sick.

I hope they say something about Apple TV. I'm on the verge of buying my third, but want to see if an ATV4 is announced.

 

[ultra7k]

5k...geez....i'd love one of these but, man...wonder how much it will cost..

 

[LCfiner]

I’m gonna need one of these. I really hope they didn’t cheap out too much on the base level graphics for this thing. I don’t want to have to wait for the next revision bump for it to be “done right”

 

[Xyphie]

is this two panels glued together?

That's what I'm wondering. No Nvidia/AMD cards support DisplayPort 1.3.

 

[JABEE]

5K iMac. I need it.

 

[Junior Mint]

Hope they update the iPad prices today. I'm going to pick up one of them $299 minis.

 

[Zaph]

Dell's 5K display will retail this year for $2,499.99. Just for the monitor.

Wonder what the base price of this will be...

 

[flyover]

Tech and media companies are going to use these iMacs as major incentives to work for them. Hell, I'll leave my job for someone who gives me one.

 

[Chris R]

Gimme dat HDMI in Apple ;_;

 

[Maninthemirror]

this iMac is one of the reasons Apple needs to slow down on its years iOS and Phone/Tablet updates.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

I still think the iMac case looks a little dated.

 

[Auctopus]

Boring (not to me) sidenote: They're teasing the default Yosemite wallpapers.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

It's a TFT display? Haven't Apple's displays typically been IPS?

 

[sankt-Antonio]

And thus the desktop resolution war has begun.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Hope they update the iPad prices today. I'm going to pick up one of them $299 minis.

I had the same thought. My N7 2013 is falling apart (due to neglect, I admit).

 

[vpance]

no way. my air 2 barely gets 10 hours with non stop surfing

Just lower the brightness to like 30%. Could be luck of the draw though, dunno.

 

[Somnid]

This is probably going to be a decent bit more than the Dell 5K and likely the same parts.

 

[Skunkers]

But what video card to drive that display? =O

 

[badb0y]

Apple stay winning

 

[a secret-boss]

Y is that photographer not using iPad air 2

 

[The Real Abed]

So they made a chip specifically to help drive the display. Hopefully it works with the GPU and not in place of it. Will there still be a dGPU? And if so, will it work with the new display processor?

The price, Apple. Give it to us!

 

[DrFunk]

Radeon R9 eh

 

[nhlducks35]

It's a TFT display? Haven't Apple's displays typically been IPS?

It's a TFT IPS LED backlit LCD

 

[Maninthemirror]

Base model is Intel i5 3.5 Ghz upgradeable to a 4 Ghz i7

Radeon R9 Graphics

Thunderbolt 2

Fusion Drive

 

[TacticalFox88]

Thunderbolt Display please?

 

[Kurdel]

Considering the price of current 4k displays, this isn't less than 2000$.

 

[dark_prinny]

Holy shit O_O

 

[-griffy-]

FUCK AMD GRAPHICS CARD GOD DAMMIT APPLE RUINING FUCKED IT UP FOR ADOBE PRODUCTS

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Starts at $2500.

 

[badb0y]

M290X and M295X

 

[richiek]

Apple stay winning

Bu...bu...but... where's the touchscreen?

EDIT: $2499, not bad!

 

[Chris R]

AMD? Apple pleeeeease. 980m in this thing would be insane

 

[The Real Abed]

Good. dGPU lives on.... in the highest end model only of course probably.

I predict Retina 5K will only be in the top end too. No 21" models. And it'll be $2500 at least....

Edit: BOOM! Called it. (Yes, I consider $2500 == $2499)

 

[Two Words]

It's 2 PS4s.

 

[DrFunk]

$2499? wow, kinda cheap considering

 

[ReAxion]

damn decent price there.

 

[Furyous]

I'm here and...

*looks at blog*

LOOK AT THOSE PIXELS. We're not talking about 4K but 5K. If this can double as monitor then I'm in. Technically, I don't need this because my 2014 rMBP is holding strong but I want one of these just to have it.

*EDIT*

2499 isn't that bad given the pixel count, fusion drive, and new Radeon chip.

 

[Zaph]

Dell's 5K display will retail this year for $2,499.99. Just for the monitor.

Wonder what the base price of this will be...

LOL exact same price.

 

[TacticalFox88]

$2499?

Not bad.

Not bad at all

 

[Deleted member 17706]

That's a surprisingly reasonable price from Apple.

 

[Maninthemirror]

Mac Mini!

 

[TheAbsolution]

That's a darn good price there.

 

[a secret-boss]

Try to reason with that price by showing a 4k tv first lol

 

[Phreaker]

Wow, people were guessing 5,000 - it's 50% off that, shipping today. woot

 

[The Elite]

I WANT IT!

 

[Somnid]

Same price as the Dell 5K, I guess that's not bad then.

 

[Auctopus]

Always let down by the graphics card.

I like how they used the TV to cushion the price blow, haha.

EditL Fuck yes mac mini

 

[Chris R]

Mac Mini time!!!

 

[LCfiner]

hey, the fusion drive is standard, at least. that’s good.

I was hoping it would be below 3K and it is. so, yeah, I’m in.
