It would exceedingly silly to not be able to upgrade the RAM on the 
iMac Pro .. but no, I'm not sure. Techniquely the website says 
"Configurable to 64GB or 128GB". It also says "configurable" for the 
RAM on the other iMac models as well. Hopefully Apple hasn't been 
stupid / greedy enough to remove the single user-upgrade option there 
is.  :-\


Although you can use external graphics card boxes, they apparently have 
to use their own display (or VR kit), so will likely only work with 
specific software, and not with the standard apps and OS display. Bang 
goes one avenue of semi-upgradability, unless someone works out a way 
around it.
