New Mac Pro on Dec 11? Possible clue...

[chameleon]

Okay, so granted, this is hopeful speculation, but...

On Episode #0267 of GeekBrief (http://www.geekbrief.tv/gbtv-0267-geekbrieftv), Cali mentions that she was recently in Cupertino to meet with Apple, but she can't divulge why until December 11th.

This would certainly seem to indicate that :apple: has something to spring on us before year end.

Could it be the new Mac Pro we've all been waiting for?

[QCassidy352]

it could be that, or it could be one of dozens of other reasons. It's all just speculation at this point.

[Digital Skunk]

I was there too! And I was riding the elevator with this guy holding a big black box with the writing "Mac Pro Mini" on the side of it. Underneath it was a box labeled "Mac Pro Ultimate" and I can't believe my cell phone camera died the night before.

Also, the guy in the elevator mentioned something about a PowerBook G5 as well.

:D

[Tallest Skil]

^ One of the better posts this side of Penryn's release.

Man, people have too much bandwidth to burn it appears...

Strange, I watched that podcast yesterday and don't remember the part about her not being able to divulge the reason why she was there. I remember her talking about some secret which she eventually divulged as being that there is a "special" Apple Store with special merchandise at the mothership (Apple HQ), but I already knew that. I'll have to re-watch it when I get home... the episode isn't on my iPod anymore.

It's coming at MSWF. Deal with it. A shame I'm going to be bumping this thread to the top.

At 1:32 into the episode, Cali says:

Visiting the Apple (store) isn't the reason I went to Cupertino. The reason I went, I can't talk about until December 11th. I'm really excited about the next two months. I hope it will be as much fun for you as it will be for me.

Again, it could be anything. An "I'm a PC, and I'm a Cali" ad?

Knowing that Intel has released the chips and a new Mac Pro seems inevitable, I'm just hoping that 1 + 1 = 2 here...

[tersono]

Well, the 11th is my birthday, so it would make a good present - just so long as I don't have to pay for it myself ;-)

Yea, mines the 10th. But I'm not that lucky for it to happen. Maybe you will have better luck. haha.

I just want Apple to release anything at this point. I'm tired of looking at Mac OS X Leopard. Now Available. On the home page.

[darthraige]

I also love this quote from Apple Insider just released....

"Apple also continues to hold another Penryn-based system close at bay -- an 8 Core Mac Pro built around two quad-core Harpertown chips and slated for a release any time the company sees fit."

[takao]

:D

ahh the good old elevetor photos ... i still remember the sweet sweet irony of the "elevator" photos before the thing in paris where the imac g5 was introduced, where it was some sort of silvery/white LCD mockup thing and everybody was screaming "apple will not simply slap the computer on the back of an LCD therefor it is fake" ...while it turned out fake it wasn't that far from truth and made quite a few eating their words ;)

[MacsAttack]

Probably an iPhone update

[darthraige]

What if Apple will make an announcement about the MacPro's dropping in price for the last half of December or up to January 15th. I think if Apple were to drop the prices by 200-500 bucks, I would just get one considering my G4 is on its death bed.

[Virgil-TB2]

I also love this quote from Apple Insider just released....

"Apple also continues to hold another Penryn-based system close at bay -- an 8 Core Mac Pro built around two quad-core Harpertown chips and slated for a release any time the company sees fit."Heh. :)
Very cool, missed that one.

[ksz]

Only minor updates are released by Apple without fanfare. Since Apple hasn't announced any media event for December 11, I doubt anything of consequence will be released then.

The following seems quite obvious to me:

Wait for a media event (ala Macworld) for a significant update

or

Get an insignificant update without a media event.

Which do you want? Since it's so close to Macworld, I would be disappointed if a Mac Pro update were announced before then because it would be a minor one.

[desenso]

I have it on good authority that the "secret product" is a Toaster. Can't say anymore, though, because I was sworn to secrecy.

[Kosh66]

Okay, I listened to the podcast and the quote is more along the lines "Visiting Apple wasn't the reason I went to Cupertino, the reason I went I can't talk about until December 11. I'm really excited about the next two months..."

So it sounds more like she went to Cupertino for another reason and decided to stop off while she was there (Ie. Apple wasn't her reason for being there)... but... I could see reading something into that. That's about the best thing I've heard to a rumor.

Anyways, we can see what happens on Dec. 11, but I'm skeptical.

[GregPacker]

Well I suppose the G5 powerbook would have made a good toaster. I think the new product will be tea lights and a mirror, heh heh. Who remembers that thread? (the photos of apple's giant banquet table in a field)

[Lord Nerdos]

Dec 10th release:

The Apple iDon'tCare...

[Maddler]

Dec. 11th, after many months of speculation, Steve Jobs unveils ...

the iRack!

[sblasl]

You have it all wrong, Apple will announce the Apple Employee of the year, take a picture of him by his parking place with the "Apple Employee of the year" sign, they will also mention that everyone needs to remember to purchase a gift of $10.00 or less for the Christmas party.

[kirkbross]

The new Mac Pro is "NEVER" coming out.

Apple has discontinued all of it's computer lines including the iMac and ALL laptops.
They have finally listened to consumer complaints that those products are simply too difficult to strap onto the arm while exercising.

I found this official leaked Apple website photo on my computer.

[benpatient]

what's funny is this: if apple released this product for real into the market, there are people on this forum who would swear it was the best thing since the ipod and get furious at anyone who suggested it might not be the perfect product for every use.

Of course. It's Apple they can do no wrong. Honestly I hope Apple's big announcement is that they are porting Mac OS X over to the PC, so I can get a real workstation from Dell or HP and an Alienware 17" laptop. I could only dream about the sweet systems that would become available if Jobs did that. Not that the current stuff isn't nice, just that every once in a while I would love to have a laptop with 2 HDDs and 2 GFX cards and a 9 pound weight.

[twoodcc]

yeah i hope it does come out next week, but i highly doubt it. but anything's possible i guess

[bpjauburn]

From Engadget moments ago:

Macbook ultraportable and Penryn Mac Pro due for Macworld, 3G iPhone in June (http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/mac-pro-to-get-penryn-blu-ray-burners-at-macworld/)?

"We've taken a "don't stop believing" approach to Apple ultraportable rumors up to this point, and there's no reason to think these "fresh" predictions from CNBC's Jim Goldman are anything different, but they at least serve as a nice refresher in the lead up to Macworld in January. Goldman predicts the new Pro laptop will be half the thickness of the MacBook Pro, the hard disk will be replaced with NAND storage, and Apple will be selling the thing for $1,500 -- the same price the black MacBook currently goes for. He's purportedly citing sources that claim to have seen the product, and says that the laptop is supposedly due to show up at Macworld. Jim's sources also say that the 3G iPhone is supposed to hit shelves by late May or early June of next year, which beats out some industry predictions of a late '08 release.

Of course, since it's just a month before Macworld, it's about time the rumor mill heated up a little beyond incessant Macbook and iPhone rumorings, and MacBidouille is stepping up to stoke the flames. The French rag is claiming that the Mac Pro will get bumped to an 3.2GHz eight-core Penryn setup (totally believable) featuring NVIDIA QuadroFX graphics (sure) with a BTO Blu-ray burner available (maybe), and that DVD Studio Pro will be renamed Disk Studio Pro and refocused on BD authoring (another definite maybe). On top of that, MacBidouille also claims that OS X 10.5.2 will be released, and that it will be "the largest and most important intermediate system update ever released by Apple." We're a little less sure we buy that, but as always, only time and Steve will tell."

[Digital Skunk]

DVD Studio Pro will be renamed Disk Studio Pro and refocused on BD authoring (another definite maybe).

That won't happen. I'd put money on that. Apple didn't bother updating DVD Studio Pro when they went from Final Cut Studio 1 --> FCS2 so why put out a minor update now and rename it?

But then again Apple has done other ignorant things, like that iMac slim aluminum keyboard, that have been a waste of resources. :rolleyes:

[SuperCompu2]

[AviationFan]

[Pressure]

The numbers of MacBooks and iMacs sold seem to differ from your point of view.

I actually much prefer the slim keyboard over the old one.

[benpatient]

But then again Apple has done other ignorant things, like that iMac slim aluminum keyboard, that have been a waste of resources. :rolleyes:

Ironically, that keyboard is my favorite new Apple product release since the original Mac Pro.

I LOVE the wired version.

The only thing that would make it better would be if it could power USB devices that connect to it. It doesn't even try to power more than a mouse. My card reader (only compact flash) gave me the "low USB power" warning and wouldn't mount when connected through the new keyboard.

But I love the feel of the "macbook-like" keys and the solid, thin aluminum plate design.

[bigbird]

I also really like the new thin aluminum keyboard. I was going to order a couple for my Powermac G4 and Imac G4. But since I won't be using either once I get my new Mac Pro, my wife and kids can use the old keyboards. They could probably care less anyways.

I would be very surprised with the name change. Especially for something as terrible as Disk Studio Pro (ack, not very Apple-like). But I wouldn't be surprised with an update that gave Blu-Ray support (and hopefully HD-DVD too). DVDSP really got shafted in the the FCS2 update, so hopefully they'll tag this on.


Geez, I wonder how big of a download that would be....

[Maddler]

Has anyone released a set of color coded Final Cut keys for the new aluminum keyboards? Is it possible, or would you have to use some lame stickers?

[desenso]

[Digital Skunk]

Okay, okay, I went too far with the keyboard, leftover angst I guess. :D

But I seriously doubt they will rename DVDSP, they may provide an update, but renaming it won't make much of a difference. And certainly not Disk Studio Pro.

[viltsu]

Appleinsider claims that the updated MP is coming in MWSF, not the 11th day. Sorry guys :(

Believe it or not, there are other tech companies in Cupertino!

And if Cali was invited to Apple for a demo of the new systems, why wouldn't other internet news sites and podcasters have been invited? Also, Cali covers ALL gadgets, not just Apple hardware.

Well, I am sure that a lot of people aren't buying the machines based on their keyboards alone. ;)

That leads me to another thing that has been swishing around in my head. Will Apple give the new slim keyboard on the pro machines, or will they stick to the original keyboard? Personally, it doesn't really matter to me, as I will be using my original keyboard with FCP keys installed, but I am curious to see if Apple offers a somewhat flimsy keyboard with their pro machines.

Why sorry? That's great to know. It means a new Mac Pro will make its debut in the greatest expo of the Apple world and not be relegated to a mere footnote in the annals of the company.

But I may still be disappointed if they don't do to it what I think they should. ;)

Although, at least for me, I much prefer the new slim keyboard. I can type much faster on it.

[darthraige]

So today is the 11th? What is she going to talk about today? I don't see a MacPro anywhere yet.

[chameleon]

Swing and a miss!

Well, I'm now convinced that the new Mac Pro will come in January at MWSF. Probably an entire revamp of their lineup -- iMac, Mac Pro and Macbooks.

It's going to be a long 35 days...

[Crawn2003]

Exactly, I'm getting so tired of these threads popping up every other day talking about how someone just happens to know when a new Mac Pro is coming out. It's getting to the point where I'm wishing I could block or get rid of these threads because all they are doing is choking up the Mac Pro/Power Mac forum area!

I know I'm a little adamant about this issue but it's really starting to become a problem on this forum. I know I'm not alone when I say this either. It's almost to the point where every other thread is about a new Mac Pro or when a new Mac Pro is being released, etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there a thread somewhere for this topic and only devoted to this topic?? Why can't these newbies and people that want to voice their opinion about the outdated hardware go there and talk about or better yet go here http://www.apple.com/feedback/macpro.html. Put your name in, tell them how you feel about over priced hardware, year old video cards, and how everyone and their nun sister wants a Mac Pro Mini even though it's a financial disaster waiting to happen for such a small user base.

And a final note, yes I know I sound irritable but I'm tired of seeing these kinds of threads. Yes I don't have to read them. That's true and typically I don't. Unfortunately to read any posts that have any substance to them I have to navigate through about four of these such posts before finding anything that has any merit!

seeing as its an event - they'll probably redesign the whole thing
