Wait a minute, did he just say $999 for the stand?!
That collective groan with the price of the stand lol
It’s about function over form.
This device looks a lot like the G5, and the G5 was gorgeous.
Holy 5 grand for the monitor, do you have to buy the 1 grand stand separately ?
I spit out my virtual coffee. Makes sense though, the VESA mount is 200 dollars already
3.5mm headphone jack? Apple why is your high end computer using old technology?
300 watts? Are they talking about the TDP of the system's cooling ability or it's power supply? I really hope it's the former otherwise that's basically gonna be a non-starter for multiple gpu configs
$6000 for an 8 core, though. Ryzen 3 is looking great right about now.
I'm glad to see Redshift, which was just purchased by Maxon, is coming to Metal. That's incredible news.

5999 for 8 core Xeon with 32gb ram, 256 ssd and ****** gpu? LOL Apple you are deluded. 5k for a screen? LOL
You can have both. Apple has had both. The G5 had both. This design is not even comparable.
You can buy a Ferrari, or you can buy a car with the internals of a Ferrari but the design of a Kia…and as I’m hearing, pay Ferrari Prices for it.
Pros still use it.
Well the whole thing looks very Pro. Priced to go Pro, too. I like it. I hope the real pros take it and make great content on it. About damn time!
300W of cooling for the CPU. PSU is 1400W.
Yeah, I noticed that too.
That's 300W just for CPU power, has 1.4kW PSU.
At my work we have 2 BOXX machine for our render farm with similar specs and they cost us 25K each
A very good announcement. At least for professionals and companies who can afford this new Mac Pro. But was it really necessary to charge an additional 999 $US for the monitor stand? That was kind of a bummer at the end.
Exactly.
Complaining about the way it looks and the price, I hear a klaxon THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FOR YOU.
Edit; to be clear, it is NOT a product aimed at me, it’s way way WAY beyond my needs, but I am nonetheless interested in the product.

I think they just kind of created a huge gap in their lineup though. There are some users (Pro audio) that don’t need the GPU specs and could do with a leaner version but also a tower for the PCI slots. Something in the $2,999 range tbh
Apple never learn .They are in cuckoo land if they think they will sell many of these, especially now Ryzen 3 is looking awesome for pc
