That price tag is hilarious! Who has £7,000.00 unless you are running a business and looking to write off against your tax bill?
That was a pretty underwhelming rollout for such a flagship product.
It was almost like they begrudgingly announced it because they had to.

Lop at you and people upvoting your comment.
Obviously they don’t start with the same chip at the same price. A mac studio with the same chip probably costs around the same…
Wonder if Apple will upgrade existing 2019 Mac Pro owners for a cheaper price? We already have the case.
If they need or want fast internal expansion, they will purchase it. Want the fastest SSD storage, internet PCI v4 is the option they would need. Mac Pro it is then.

I was expecting some sort of replaceable Apple silicon module.
It uses the same wheels as the 2019 model so that is, what, $800?
My guess is that Apple does not plan to offer additional GPUs - what is on the SoC is what you get.
Nope. That is another beast altogether. People who need Intel support or a ton of memory will want the Intel version for a while.
Not always. It's becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy, though, with insane prices and very little capability gained.
There is almost no new engineering involved here. Why did it take so long to be released? It feels like Apple had some other solution in mind, but weren't able to get it working and gave up. And so they hocked this loogie up to say they kept their promise.
Yeah I mean they already have the Mac Pro design and I assume Mac Pro never moved many units.. I would say this Mac Pro is just a good will effort to say "hey we put Silicon in the Pro...now please shut up" also they now have no more Intel computers.
Apple Silicon is SOC and they are not gonna let you upgrade memory obviously. This is a low R&D effort for Apple as it's not like they are reinventing the wheel here with the Pro. Just put Silicon in it and be done with it. This wasn't like that giant news event back in 2019 when everyone was marveling about the Mac Pro
I think most of us were expecting something. They might do this in the future. The way they describe things leaves everything open for a future model.
It most likely will start at 64GB, the M1 Ultra of the Studio starts at 64GB (2x the Max base amount of 32 GB).
Ouch. I kinda expected that and grabbed 2019 Mac Pro when it came out, but it still hurts to hear it.
they were pretty slim on the details as they rushed through it - leaving me like..wait wait wait..what! I will pre-order studio ultra tho.
Your corporation deserves to fail if its IT department ever gets suckered into buying the new Mac Pros. Mac Pro's price should have come down significantly after the transition to Apple Silicon since Apple is now servicing the same architecture across its entire ecosystem.
