It's bad when you can build a desktop with the same components for $2000 or less, without the Apple Tax. Trying to act as though they aren't marking everything up at least 100% is disingenuous, but extremely common for some reason.

So try to configure an iMac Pro level desktop for $2000 less.

Don’t forget that the 5K monitor by itself is $1300.

Also try configuring a workstation for $3000 with the specs of the Mac Pro.

On the lower end, try configuring a desktop for much less than the $2100 iMac 5K.

Small nitpick, the Mac Pro and iMac Pro are 2 different products.

Yes. And that’s why I use the word “also..”.
