Yeah, I had an Atari with a similar setup back in the day. I suppose I was just going off of your comparison to the logic board in the rMB. And you're right, that would be a hard left turn stylistically.
It's a fair point, and the 15 inch MBP does just about hit my sweet spot, if I could get it without an internal discrete GPU for less money.Man, I just don't know. I feel like you can already achieve that with a high end MBP. I mean, why go with a crazy good CPU/Processor and have that built in a case, and just not have everything else in there as well?
I guess with the whole dongle aspect of the new MBPs, and just using it over the last MP version because I didn't think it was worth the upgrade for me, I am just tired of external everything. My desk has hubs and wires and just stuff everywhere. I want a singular device with easily swappable components. Personally, of course. To each their own.
so for you getting mad over the internet its a real thing ?! jesus...so stop imitating peopleI wrote it because you wrote it - obviously? You're getting a bit weird over all this. I should probably stop replying to you. Try and not let other people's tech opinions get you so mad))))
current mac pro has dual full sized gpu and its small caseI could see this as a Mac Mini redesign. Not a Mac Pro. No way.
Where would you fit a full-sized GPU card? What about expansion bays?
Like it or not, there is a reason why the ATX case has been around now for decades. It's a tired and true form factor that allows computer professionals easy access, expansion, upgradability, and workability. Apple simply needs to go back and revisit its silver Mac Pro ATX case, and update it a bit for modern parts. Done.
... but they could bring that out practically tomorrow. It does seem as if they're trying harder than that. Better? We hope to be pleasantly surprised1As I said it is entirely predicated on if it turns out for TouchID on the TouchBar it has to be on the system unit or it breaks security. Without that consideration I'd also be very happy with a revival of something like (or advanced from) the cheese grater.

Yes, and if you run something close to 100% utilization of the CPUs (not to speak GPUs) on it, it sounds like a drone about to take off.current mac pro has dual full sized gpu and its small case
No so different to the old Mac Pro/PowerMac G5 casing. Plenty of ventilation and practical design.They know we want it.
It looks like that would be a thermal nightmare. Nice work on the concept but it's not practical, just give us a more traditional tower form factor and we'll be happy.
you are using the current mac pro? i have with dual d500 and 8 cores and no problems with heat or sound...i think you are talking about an non apple productYes, and if you run something close to 100% utilization of the CPUs (not to speak GPUs) on it, it sounds like a drone about to take off.
Yeah, but then I'd feel bad when I stuffed a bunch of bare RAM boards in it.They know we want it.
Can't be as bad as a G5 Power Mac.Yes, and if you run something close to 100% utilization of the CPUs (not to speak GPUs) on it, it sounds like a drone about to take off.
I have seen a review where the reviewer run some renders for an extended period of time and complained about the noise. Just count the watts to be dissipated out of that minuscule volume and it's clear it cannot work without a lot of air going through, or a lot of throttling.you are using the current mac pro? i have with dual d500 and 8 cores and no problems with heat or sound...i think you are talking about an non apple product![]()
