All I can say is I love my iMac pro - I need the kind of power and had no problems paying that price tag for that power [and it was a reasonable price tag for what I got]. Some people understand the machines others don’t. BTW I use it for 3D modelling and rendering mostly.
I see the iMac pro as an engineering marvel - I push it regularly using all cores and the fans remain quiet. Amazing.
BTW I have had HP + Dell workstations and never bothered opening up and upgrading. I just sold and got another machine. There seems to be some BS going round that a workstation must be able to be opened up!
So true. It will be the turning point for me as well, regarding Macs, if they drop the ball.
How is it a meme? They haven't updated the Mac Pro since 2013. The GPU performance is something like a GTX 1050.
That's a discounted price. If there ever is a new MacPro look to have $3500
External connections is just what Apple touted with the trashcan Mac Pro
Just sayin
I hope so. I'd really like something in between a Mac mini and Mac Pro, with a consumer based graphics card, hopefully a GTX 1080.
Call me a coward, but I am just not able to watch those loaded, jeans-wearing, safe-playing cowards on stage anymore (except Craig)
Someday, they will blow their final stab at the Mac.
I don’t want to witness that.
I don't know. Last couple of years all Apple keynotes were such a snooze fest. Hell, I'm more excited for the OnePlus 6T unveiling on 30. October.
The Nvidia 750M in my Macbook begs to differ. But frankly, I wouldn't mind an AMD 570 or 580. That Nvidia 750M is a piece of ****. It was a piece of **** in 2014 too.

Apple's design philosophy these days seems to be Function follows form.
Their cunning plan seems to be to constrain our function to their existing and really very tired form. If this presentation - "there's more in the making" does turn out to be another attempt to tell me that the iPad, now with Photoshop (woo hoo!), is the answer to my computing needs then you'll probably hear my howl from the other side of the Atlantic.

I really don't see how this would work at all...
My Clarett 8Pre audio interface connects via Thunderbolt, and all those audio plugins require a significant amount of RAM. As for Final Cut Pro, where do all those high end video cards go?

When they release Xcode for Windows (or possibly even iPad), that will be the sign that the Mac is dead.
Current Apple has no direction. No leadership. NO VISION.
They iterate on products started or completed under Jobs (the Watch was definitely started while he was still CEO), sometimes not even once a year.
They are supposedly working on a car?
Maybe they'll become a TV studio?
$1 trillion in marketshare and they don't know what to do.
Don't forget a floppy disk drive - that will catapult the iPad's capabilities well into the 1980s !
Just a minor issue with that - iOS and OSX are not compatible, neither is the hardware, they are just barely able to communicate on a basic level .
And Apple has been incredibly slow in providing input and connectivity solutions for iOS products , to say the least .
Hence, iPads don't integrate well into a Mac workflow .
It would be nice if you could connect the new iPad into you Mac (via usbc) and use it as a second monitor. I know there are already apps for that, but from my experience they are not so good. But if the iPad supports it natively... that might be interesting.
<wishful thinking>
I actually think that the whole design of this points to modular Macs - "There's more in the making" implies the possibility that WE make the mac how we want it to be. Then having lots of different Apple logos might mean that there are lots of options.
</wishful thinking>
Apple has been openly telegraphing their intentions for quite some time now. They are going to focus on mobile and wearables, likely at the expense of the Mac. I don’t know why people go in expecting something different each time round, only to walk away disappointed thereafter. And I don’t see what incentive Apple has to walk back on this roadmap when that’s clearly where all the money is.
Apple’s idea of integration likely means that you will be able to choose any one of their devices and work on it right away. For example, once photoshop comes to the iPad, you aren’t constrained to your desk. You can do the heavy lifting on your iMac Pro, then maybe pick up and add the finishing touches using the same app on your iPad later on.
Not so much about being able to use all your Apple hardware concurrently.
Just because Apple isn’t working on what you want them to work on doesn’t mean they have lost their way.

Just because Apple’s current horizon ends at iOS doesn’t mean the world stops there
How about Dustonite?Kryptonite keyboard. I like that and will henceforth refer it it on these here forums and other places as thus.
Google tells me I just invented a new word.
Your search - "Dustonite" - did not match any documents.
Suggestions:
- Make sure that all words are spelled correctly.
- Try different keywords.
- Try more general keywords.

What disaster was that? It nearly killed them financially? That was when Apple only sold Macs.
How could that even be a disaster today, when Macs bring the smallest share of the profits? Windows 10 is such a mess that Apple would probably make at least 10 times as much profit selling macOS for non-Mac PCs instead of selling trying to squeeze profits out of Macs built with out-of-date components. Profit margins are a lot higher on software than they are on hardware, after all.
Seeing as Tim doesn't seem to like Macs and likes to maximize profits, I'd say that macOS for everyone would not surprise me at all. It would even explain the multitude of logos for the current event.

For the love of Steve... Apple did not remove mag-safe. Apple effectively opened it up for everyone to add it into any one of the ports in any number of different ways. Now we have a lot more choice.
Just google “usb-c MagSafe”
What the f is the problem???
Yes Apple removed it. Do you visually see the port in the Mbp?
The problem is this is aftermarket, and there is no Apple approved MagSafe alternative. The 3rd party MagSafe adapters do not sit flush with the chassis, and some do not reliably work.
Ok, but the entire point of a Mac Mini was to be affordable lol. If they make a pro tier and keep an entry model I guess that would be fine.
