First Mac Pro Unboxing Videos Revealed

The fact they're actually selling this thing without even a keyboard and mouse is beyond me. That you're already spending a minimum of 2744,28 (with edu discount) so what's another 120 for a Magic Mouse and Wireless keyboard is besides the point.
Not to mention the fact that a lot of serious video editors have keyboards custom designed for the software they use:

This, and the fact that in terms of function (but NOT buy shape
) the MacPro is designed to be dropped into a custom, function-oriented production setup. Unbox, unreel, plug in, compute.
Proven by Linux's installed base of about 1%, mostly guys living in mom's basement, because 99% of computer users are idiots... I guess.
Seriously, I laughed out loud when I read this post.
The real winner is the shirt.
That's a beautiful god damn machine. I really wanted it to be silver, but boy, it's pretty. I think unboxing videos are absolutely ridiculous, but 30 seconds of this wasn't that bad. I didn't wait for him to read the specs or talk about the seal and such.

I'm glad he made the video but I hate how most unboxing videos waste time with stupid stuff like the labels, or whats on the box, or a random scrap of paper thats inside and almost no time on the item people care about.
Also completely besides the point. When you buy a machine this expensive it should come with keyboard and mouse. Period. It's incredibly cheap of Apple not include them.
I agree but also feel if you can afford a Pro you can certainly afford a keyboard and mouse.
According to who?
I can tell you from working at Best Buy for 2 years, sometimes it was the "higher end" (all consumer crap to begin with) desktops that didn't come with keyboard and mice.
The Windows platform, has more Audio/Video tools for professionals, than OS X. Many video servers use Linux, not OS X...
...and so on.
but battery life is **** on Windows/Linux as the dedicated GPUs are used on MacBooks all the time.
Professionals have already a mouse and keyboard with a custom layout.

You are in the wrong thread. We talk about the new Mac Pro desktop computer, which has no battery.
;-)
Remember, Apple was the company that first brought us a trashcan on our desktop. They are honouring that tradition.

It is also incredibly wasteful to include a keyboard and mouse that very likely won't be used.
