how do they get away with this?
Well, their laptops are around $1200
Really the only problem I have with Apple is their price: OSX seems just as good as Ubuntu from an outside perspective (I've never used OSX)
Put an ATX or mATX inside of a chassis from apple or other AIO computer, then come back and tell me how that worked out for you
>>54205257
Unix hardware has always been expensive.
Do you remember Sun?
it's the screen you niggers
find an equal or better screen at that price
>>54205257
I didn't know a 27 inch 5120x2880 screen is considered a "laptop component".
Other computer manufacturers do the same. Apple also happens to exclusively have great screens for that type of monitor desktop. On top of that is the Apple fan boy tax.
Also, when the first 5k iMac came out, there was no competition at all for their price. The cheapest 4k monitor had cost the same and didn't include an actual computer.
Also, they "get away" with this because Apple is a business. Apple is in business to make money. Don't want to spend $1500 on an Apple computer...don't fucking buy it.
>>54205445
It's powered by laptop class components. That means the CPU and graphics are the same components that would normally be put in a laptop.
>>54205257
PC all-in-ones are also comparatively overpriced.
>put expensive components in a computer
>sell for more
how do they get away with this
>>54205339
Not anymore. You can run FreeBSD on a superannuated C2D that costs under $200, /tpg/ does it all the time.
stop using how much you spent as a badge of pride

Na, Unix comes with hardware, always has always will.
>>54205528
Who the fuck cares about the CPU and graphics? Do you run benchmarks and play games all day?
>>54205731
OP is the sort of person who cares.
my late 2013 27in imac has a i5-4570. that's not a laptop processor, thats a desktop part.
my 16gb of ram is ddr3 1600. same ol' ddr3 1600 sitting in most peoples desktops.
ssd + desktop 3.5in 1tb hard drive.
the only thing laptop is the shitty 755m video card but apple hasn't care about graphics since 2010?

Hue.
>>54205957
Correct, it is Solaris, a System V Release 4 UNIX operating system free for download and installation cost free for both the SPARC and x86 processor architectures.
You can take any hardware you want these days and put a true UNIX operating system on it, none of the *BSD nonsense.
>>54205993
I don't think you understand why people use UNIX.
>>54205817
This, the 5k ones in my office have 6700k and 32gb of ram in them for video editing.Bit overkill and I hate that they lack any decent network capability or expansion options. But the 295m inside it is a tonga chip slightly underclocked, it's not a slouch by any means.
>>54205445
but isn't the 5K variant 2500? Also 5K on a 27" screen is retarded
>>54206011
So your options are:
Slowlaris on x86 (desktop sparc is dead)
MacOS on X86
Most people will choose MacOS.
>>54205257
dont they charge $600 for 32GBs of RAM?
>>54206069
>>54206024 here.
Yes it's pretty retarded. It's such a pain to use with the shity magic mice as well. So far it's only plus point is being able to edit FHD and have FHD rushes side by side with boat loads of screen real estate. Then again you arguably don't need native res for editing.
>>54206108
Why not get a normal mouse?
>>54206011
>I don't think you understand why people use UNIX.
I don't think you know when a project is dead.
/g/ I challenge you to make a PC with similar specs PLUS the 5k display, a mouse & keyboard for under $1500.
have you seen the screen on that thing? not a macfag but when i saw the 27 inch imac in the store i got BTFO. great shit.
>>54205257
I think only the 21" uses laptop components ... besides, who gives a fuck. They should be perfectly adequate for all the task most people would do on these, while allowing an AIO design.
>>54206108
>what is editing 4K movies and having space for all UI elements
>>54205257
I have one, its fantastic.

This.
The 5K IPS screen is the biggest cost in making an iMac.
>>54205359

Fuck off with your toddler toy.
>>54207615
the iMac screen is 8bit crap.

>>54207721
>look mom i'm shilling a toddler toy as "pro" equipment!
>>54207693
But it has 100% DCI-P3 standard.
Because a 5K display by itself costs $1000-$1600.
And since when was an I7-6700K a laptop CPU?
>>54207718
https://www.cinema5d.com/5k-imac-10-bit-color/
Because Apple has made a very successful brand. Also their desktops are good for everything except gaming. If it had a competent GPU in the thing, I guarantee you more of you non-neet fucks would buy one. I probably would because I appreciate the build/screen quality.
>>54208097
And I forgot resale value. Have fun buying $2000 worth of shit from newegg and literally selling it for 1/4 of its worth 6 months down the road. The resale market for PC components sucks shit.
>>54205731
>Who the fuck cares about the CPU and graphics?
>But it has a fancy screen so it's okay! :)
What the fuck anon are you retarded or just a macfag? The CPU and graphics are way more important than the screen, especially considering most people use macs for video editing anyway.
>>54208097
>macshit
>build/screen quality.
well meme'd
>>54208121
>The CPU and graphics are way more important than the screen
The most resource intense thing most people are youtube videos and maybe photoshop. The lowest CPU you can get is still a desktop i5. And why do you need a full sized GPU for a computer that won't be playing games?
>>54208121
The CPU and GPU of the iMac are perfectly fine for video editing though. Besides, a good screen is obligatory for it, while finishing your work 2 minutes faster is a "nice have"
Given the better software on OSX, it'd probably finish before a much faster Winshit PC either way.

>>54208847
They both use the same LM270QQ1 panel.
At least the 2014 models did, but now the 5k iMacs are 10-bit.
>>54208847
They are pretty similar and perfectly fine for most people. The 1% who make big budget movies, spend much, much, MUCH more on monitors and hardware. Stuff that doesn't have any bearing for discussion of relatively cheap hardware like iMacs or Dells.
There's no excuse for buying an expensive all-in-one desktop, it's not limited to Apple.
A good screen will last a decade. The actual computer components will get outdated in ~2 years, and you'll be left with 27" aluminium mirror.

Why do you need a 5k monitor for watching youtube? If you're doing something that warrants a 5k monitor it probably warrants higher specs as well
If you do nothing but edit text and images, little gimmicks like a better screen can make it worth it.
The free market values and evolves based on personal taste. There is no high council of nerds deciding what is worth what and whether or not more of it should be made, only hordes of tech illiterates (windows/OSX) and a few very high paying professionals (real UNIX, VMS)
>>54205339
Difference being that sun machines were useful for actual computing, while OS X is worthless even for playing video games - compared to fucking linux, of all shit.
>>54210743
Difference being that a mac is a generic intel PC that's basically designed to run windows, and UNIX machines are normally more exotic.

UNIX machine: Swappable ECC RAM, next generation I/O buses, SMP, high-end processing units
Mac: Generic intel hardware, may include lasst-gen advances, maybe even a mid-range xeon
UNIX machine: performance oriented
Mac: experience oriented
>>54210813
A certified UNIX that has stayed true to its niche as a reliable and high performance computing platform for the higher echelons of computer users - those who compute things that actually affect the world and rely on their computers to do that well. Machines are often licensed out to customers. You wouldn't use anything else for high demand data like a stock exchange unless you bought top programmers and sysadmins to run a custom linux system for you.
OS X is a toy meant for the everyman, or windows-flavored UNIX. You wouldn't even trust it to run a mail server under moderate load, or rely on it for heavy-duty local use like rendering or simulations.

>>54212468
because there are not nearly enough people using it to make the effort worthwhile. osx is time and time again shown to be extremely vulnerable
