Mac Pro user, waiting for the new model to see what Apple came up with. I use 3 internal hard drives, still like the option of an internal DVD (Blu-Ray would be better) - still used occasionally - and upgradeable video card.
JMHO of course....I love the design but I'm totally bummed, once the Darth Cube rolls out Apple won't have a machine in the former Pro area (internal storage, replaceable video cards etc.), they've formally given it up (which they've been doing over the years anyways), stinks to see it get to this point.
THat's true Apple has given up on the Storage days, long gone are the XserveRAIDs
But it's a tough market. I remember the last real hard drive I bought from Apple was 2 GB external SCSI (something like that). HAH so yeah you're right, they are OUT OF HERE on that tip...
They are probably are so happy too. Think about this, if they go all SSD or even PCIe SSD, no Hard Drives ever again. That would be happiness, besides replacement parts, but in 10 years? DONE with them
Think this:
Done with Floppies
Done with Optical
Done with Drives
now on to PURE RAM / PURE CHIPS everywhere.
That's sweet.
One thing I wanted to finish up and say tho is.
This Mac Pro is classic, in what Classic way?
It's bad ass machine, where you are just like Wow, Look how sweet this is, and I am not just talking about the case, I mean the internals, externals, aesthetics, chips, specs
This may not be what every body is all wanting or looking for.
But in the essence it's A BAD ASS Mac, that crushes Dell and HP and etc, not that that war is still even going on or matters, I think we won that one right?
But it's just funny. It's a sick "We are Apple, we make crazy ass hot machines, Mac" -sure call me a Fan Boy
It's awesome, so yeah it doesn't matter what we 100% want. They are saying "Check this out!"
That's the way the Keynote about the MP went, saying:
And this, and this, then there's this, and this, just kept going on and on, destroying Dell and HP specs haha it was just so funny.
I mean I'll let you in on a little secret, I want a personal forcefield like from the movie Explorers, or a Spaceship like Slave I. Has anybody made that yet? Well too bad for all us, I guess I'll have to settle for a 325 BMW or a Veloster, and be happy.
If you want something that hits you just right at every spec it aint going to happen.
Member when G5 case came out? I was saying oh Man, and then the Quad with 16GB of Ram? I was going nuts saying 16GB? 16GB? "gees that's sooo much you'd never need more than that"
This? This is just a Bad Ass Mac!
