Here's a surprise from Apple: The company is updating its iMac line.

The big story is a new model: the $5,000 iMac Pro, "a monster when it comes to graphics," according to Apple.

Apple called it "the most powerful Mac" it's ever made, a dig at the now dated cylindrical Mac Pro which looks like a fancy garbage can. The new all-in-one computer supports up to 18-core Xeon processors and a 27-inch 5K display.

As for the refreshed iMacs, Apple says they will ship with the latest Intel Kaby Lake processors, a 43 percent brighter display, up to 64GB of memory, up to 80 percent faster graphics, and up to 2TB of storage.

Apple last updated its iMacs in fall 2015. Here's a closer look at what's new.
