Like others have mentioned, I'm also hoping to see an updated Cinema Display product line that goes up to 4k resolution.
I'm going to hazard a guess and say the new Mac Pro will come with updated keyboard and mouse, I really cant see Apple selling the current silver/white keyboard with the MP.
This little Mighty Mac will sit nicely on top of a rack full of peripherals.
Are the video cards able to be swapped out? They don't appear to be PCIe cards. Having non-upgradable video cards would be a deal breaker for many who want the latest and most power GPUs for realtime FX.
If you read the paper, you see that their driver does all of that, ie software.
A fullsize grown up keyboard for adults with bluetooth would be good![]()
I don't see understand the rationale behind NOT offering a full size wireless keyboard.
I think it's more Apple form-over-function silliness.
I completely agree. It's like they've been trying to outdo themselves ever since the original iMac came out![]()
They should introduce a modular keyboard where each key is a separate unit.
You only buy the keys you want, and connect them all via Thunderbolt.
It's the way of the future.
Exactly the response I expected, you've refused to quote someone saying that and when you get called on it, you're too much in a huff to give a quote. Of course if you could actually prove your point, you would. Since you can't, you have no other option but theatrics.
Yep, as I've been saying all along, virtually all pro audio was done with external boxes on the previous MP, and the same will be true with the next MP.
I thought I'd elaborate because you've just come back with tedious conditions to any previous reply...
1) If you look at the photo of the Mac Pro next to a 2013 "They" and "You" (deny that) are referring to, it shows a current Mac Pro (which by default has
You lost the argument with that phrase.
The point of an expandable tower is that it is expandable. The "by default" limit doesn't apply.
It's a point that is not worth making though. a) What 100GbE adapters can you buy that have a Mac driver? b) The adapters I have found costs $10k per port, and that's on a 12 port $120k adapter. Clearly something that is aimed squarely at the HPC and large data center market.
I just used Geekbench3 to get my score, then compared with the new MP tested and I'm not that impressed.. am I missing something?
I know the new MP will have some crazy toys, but I am hoping it's faster.

Yes, you are comparing an 8 core machine(mid level or entry level?) with a 12 core machine(top level), sort of apple vs orange. The top of the line 2013 MP will come with a 12 core cpu, if you want to compare apple with apple you need some updated benchmark of the new 12 core machine.
He has a 2.66 12 core from ~3.5 years ago. Wasn't top level then.
2 boxes (at $650 a pop) for my hard drives. I have 6 hard drives in my mac pro.
Here's a slightly more sane image to counter the previous one. All the same gear, but doesn't look like the systems are owned by 2 completely different people. This assumes the user still needs 2 DVD/Blu-ray burners and has legacy PCIe cards they need to port over.

Wow. $2100 for that Lacie on their website.
Another ~$1k for the Magma
Say a couple hundred for the Blu-Ray burners.
$3500 + Mac Pro cost
Fibre-Chanel card
I would hope no one who goes to the trouble to buy all that stuff would settle for a cheap power strip.Here's a slightly more sane image to counter the previous one.
