A couple of days ago Apple revealed that the iMac Pro was finally set to launch today, Dec. 14. It is now possible to configure and buy an iMac Pro direct from Apple’s online store ($4,249.99 at Best Buy)(Opens in a new window) , but exactly how much do you have to spend to get the highest spec on offer?

We knew that the base price of the iMac Pro was going to be $4,999, but that’s before you consider the 10, 14, and 18-core Xeon processor options, the up to 128GB of RAM, up to 4TB of storage, and the more powerful Radeon Pro Vega 64 with 16GB of HBM2 memory. If you want the very high end of performance inside you iMac Pro, that $5K price tag increases to an eye-watering $13,199.

So what do you get for your $13K? Here’s the spec for the highest configuration Apple allows on its online store:

• 2.3GHz 18-core Intel Xeon W processors (Turbo Boost up to 4.3GHz)
• 128GB 2,666MHz DDR4 ECC memory
• 4TB SSD
• Radeon Pro Vega 64 with 16GB HBM2 memory
• Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad
• Magic Mouse 2 ($99.99 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window)

Total cost: $13,199.00.

Of course, that’s not the maximum price as there’s still other options to consider. For example, Apple offers Space Gray versions of the Magic Trackpad 2 ($104.99 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window) , a VESA mount adapter, and the ability to have Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro X pre-installed. If you choose to include all those extras, the price rises to $13,926.98.

If you spend that much, then it’s likely you will also go a bit further and break the $14,000 barrier. AppleCare+ is offered for $169, and you really do want three years of coverage on such an expensive bit of kit.

If $13K is outside of your budget, but you really want that 18-core Xeon chip, there’s two very easy ways to save some cash. Opting for a 2TB instead of the 4TB SSD saves you $2,000, and opting for 64GB RAM instead of 128GB saves you a further $1,600. Even so, the price still comes in at just under $10,000.
