Just pulled trigger on new Mac Pro

It's 14 days for return, not 1 month. One month is only for a price cut, in that case you have 1 month to request a refund for the difference (not a product change).
The 14 days rule however it's only applicable to base models, if you have added some option ram, hdd ecc... you cannot return it even after one day.

 

[thats all folks]

and this is why Apple can continue to offer a 3 year old machine for sale as new at a cost that in no way reflects the current value of its parts. people keep buying it.

some folks track the progress and cost of every individual component, carefully weighing value vs performance vs future viability. and some folks have a credit card and desire.

IMO if a new system, even if it is based off of three year old technology, provides a positive ROI then it makes sense to purchase the new, even if outdated, system.

I'm sure the OP is aware the technology is older but Apple is the only game in town when it comes to the Macintosh. If his workflow is dependent on the Macintosh he has no other options. Having said that given the lack of upgrades or communication about the future of the Mac Pro if my business relied on the Macintosh platform I'd been investigating moving to an alternative platform.

It is not just that. Some of us use it for work and we are forced to buy to meet the workload requirements. Unless we migrate to the Windows plateform we have little choice.

If there's no word about the Mac Pro from Apple on Thursday I would advise you to look at an alternative platform.

If the current model fulfills your requirement(s), congrats. I purchased mine late 2013 / early 2014 and won't require a replacement for at least another 2-3 years.

Enjoy your new computer.
