500 k is probably more than a year of MP sales
?????
where are you getting this number from?
500 k is probably more than a year of MP sales
That's my assumption based on the statistics.I meant where are you getting your Mac Pro sales numbers
…from more than 10 years agoThat's my assumption based on the statistics…
2013 was Markt introduction and we can safely assume that the MAC PRO was the lowest sales number of them being the most expensive one. With a conservative assumption that iMacs and Mac Mini counts for >>80 % of sales the number of Mac pros is surely below or maximum around 600 k -
And I've turned it into a Simpsons macro meme!As Bart Simpson would say, "Tough break, Apple. I guess people just weren't ready for the Vision Pro. Maybe in a few years."
500 k is probably more than a year of MP sales - IMHO a very sound introduction of a test bench for a new device - because what the AVP is
Interesting - I've had one with two D700 GPUs - a screamer in speed - an amazing machine being small, versatile and IMHO nice design - sold it for 50 % of my purchasing prices after six years of using it - so it cost me close to nothing including the tax refund. No-brianer IMHO
Really? I don't know anyone that owned it and disliked it - of course many nay-sayers that never intended to buy one criticized it for being small, energy efficient and and ultra fast. But that's a given in today's world - we see that here clearly repeating
Yes - what’s the point?It's still a niche device for their product lineup at the present time. MP is niche as well and was back then as it's a workstation.
Someone mentioned the Mac Pro was a failure too and turned people away from Apple - just reacting to a biased commentWhat relevance is this to anything said so far?
I liked mine and it did the job splendidly - I am the only person I can refer to.You need to work on your reading comprehension instead of being so eager to start posting personal off topic anecdotes about how you wrote off something on your taxes from a decade ago. I said the cylindrical design was an issue and thats not some secret as Apple admitted the problem as well. They ended up in a situation with where users had no updates or upgrade paths for many years for a workstation class computer to the point they finally put in some Xeons in a iMac with better fans to try and hold users. Not even to mention the issues with the unified thermal core design removing the ability to slot in additional cards or upgrade many components over the life cycle of the system.
The MBPs are so good that aside from PCIe cards there is hardly any advantage. I don’t miss the big cumbersome cases. Yet I only wanted the computational power and not the form factor.![]()
“Being able to put larger single GPUs required a different system architecture and more thermal capacity than that system was designed to accommodate,” the exec is reported as saying. “So it became fairly difficult to adjust.”
That seems to explain why the Mac Pro, until today, went more than three years without spec refresh — an entirely unworkable situation for pro users who need top-of-the-line hardware.
Schiller told reporters that the Mac Pro’s thermal issues “restricted our ability to upgrade it” and that Apple is “sorry to disappoint customers who wanted that.”
I wish it was that easy. I regularly use the hotel tv and more and more hotels now you have to ask for the special remote or engineering every time you need to do it. They are locking in digital cable and trying to stop people using their own (free) content.For laptop size, you have to ask what size sells best? Out of 13", 14" and 16" laptops. I bet it's not the biggest size. Similarly, on the desktop, 27" monitors dominate the market, not 32" or bigger.
On trips, I can take my laptop and at my destination, I can plug into an Apple Studio monitor.
In a hotel, a HDMI cable can plug into a 55"-65" tv.
Or I can carry a 15.6" portable monitor if I really need an extra monitor at all times.
