This design is over 15 years old and still looks better...
I got a 2010 one - then handles are a tragically bad piece of design.
Got a tip for us?

If you don't like it or can't afford it, don't buy it.
It still fits inside the section 179 amounts, so it's basically your_tax_bracket% off. But really, a Mac Mini with 32GB of RAM, a 512GB drive and an ultra wide monitor is more practical.

Rack rails let the computer slide forward out of the rack. That's how all rack servers are built. There's nothing bad servicing a computer if you unplug it. Look at any enterprise computer, like Dell Optiplexes and HP Elites. They all have big access handle on the side.
If I read the news correctly, the new MacPro will come in a rack model but what we're seeing now is not that.
With handles on the front, and the computer sitting on the floor, that would mean one handle is on the floor.
If I were going to lift a 70 lb computer (or a 40 lb Mac Pro) off the floor to move it, I'd much rather have two handles at the top. Rather than one handle at the top front, and another at the bottom touching the floor.

That's correct. The rack-mount version of the new Mac Pro will be released in the Fall.
Section 179 cannot be used if your company is in the red, which is where this machine will put it
However if you ARE making a profit, of course you can burn it on this thing.
Or you can lower your salary to show a profit, then burn it on this thing.
Either way, it's your money to burn.
apple isn't competing with that professional tvlogic trust me, that's an industry standard display used by professional editors in BTCA editorial, I'm sure the Apple XDR will be great but not on this level and not aimed at this level and it wouldn't matter how much dosh it came to, charging for a stand is a complete pi ss take really disgusting move not about money just because they can, not one person minted or otherwise would be happy about paying for a 1000 stand that holds a monitor up. Suitup is that a play on situp you're a genius kid.

At that point maybe you can use it to mine bitcoin and get back in the black!
The case is great (pun not intended) IMO, and if Apple ever makes it available for a consumer-level machine, I would be extremely happy
But that’s an easy fix. Remove the ports, shrink the size down to what it is now, swap in the stainless steel Apple logo and call it a day.
I want those optional wheels on mine, so I can roll it from room to room unless I decide to buy one for every room in my house.
Except, it is only 600 nits vs. 1000, is not 4K, but UHD (3840x2160 or about 8million pixels vs. 20.4 million), has a contrast ratio of 1000:1 (50,000:1 in some HDR modes) vs. 1,000,000:1 and is 5” smaller diagonally and is not full P3, so not comparable at all. Nice try though.
I'd put a leash on mine and take it out for a walk when the weather's nice!
He has to say that after the recent, surprise, mass exodus from Jonny's design team.
You can just imagine the conversation among them "I'm not having my name put next to a cheese grater!"
Great product move by Apple. It'll be affectionately known as the cheese grater

Nah, that one's still relatively affordable. This is the one they're really trying to gun for at $45K:

It's $1000 bucks for a hunk of aluminum the cost Apple barely $50 to make. Get off your unicorn telling folks they shouldn't be outraged at the price 'cause they aren't the potential customer. This talk of businesses just blindly buying them at such a stupid price is disturbing. As if the costs wouldn't be passed down the line or claimed on tax thru loopholes. Then you wonder why infrastructure is left to rot. Need I remind you the very audience at the presentation was filled with kind of folk in the market for this thing and they didn't cheer upon hearing a stand costs a grand. Let alone a matte screen is also $1000. People were already baulking when Apple started charging $1000+ for phone then a tablet. Now they want $!000 for just metal & glass. Can't gouge customers my a$$
ps F1 teams don't buy tyres they are provided by the sponsoring manufacturer.
I will never own this, but what a beautiful piece of industrial design.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call an opinion!
As long as your workflow doesn't need cores or ram, I guess - mine does (3d Art).

$6,000 gets you:
32 core TR/128Gb Ram/WX5100 (workstation version of the rx580), 1Tb Samsung NVMe, Blu-Ray Burner, 1400 watt PSU.
or
24 core Eypc/128Gb Ram/WX5100, 1Tb Samsung NVMe, Blue-Ray Burner, 1,400 PSU.
The problem isn't that the 7,1 starts at $6,000 - it is that you get so little for that $6,000:
8 cores? in 2019?
a 2 year old consumer video card
PCIe 3.0, which will EOL by years end - If I can get a $50 board with PCIe 4.0 this fall, why couldn't apple deliver one? Oh yea, sticking with Intel.
Yes one day will be like the pro in Mac mini and the pro like the quantum
Everyone in this forum is right from how ugly the computer is or how beautiful, how expensive or powerful, bad, good, etc. Yes all this is important but more important is where we go and how compacted the technology becomes and how fast we achieve more time.
I already lost time of how powerful are the microprocessors
compared to what?
Most people use computers still to press the all alphabet.
If you asked to put a pro on the iPad you will be happy?
Sure but when that day comes it would be for a kid with a giant rubber protector case sale for $30 On prime Day and you computer system in the cloud that show you images
you know like Iron Man
And people still how ugly the computer is or how beautiful, how expensive or powerful, bad, good, etc.
Life is good
Can you link me to an exact build of this same machine and monitor for the price Apple is offering it? Go build a shopping cart with the literal equivalent...I'd love to see this.

I seriously miss my old G5 tower.
