iFixit Shares Mac Pro Uncasing and First Impressions

[MacRumors]

Repair site iFixit managed to get a Mac Pro on Friday, and has kicked off its traditional teardown with an uncasing and first impressions video.

The video shows the process of removing the Mac Pro's aluminum case and it takes a look at some of the internal components.

For those interested in a quick look at what's inside the Mac Pro and how the different components work, the video is worth checking out.

iFixit plans to share a full Mac Pro teardown next week, likely on Tuesday.

That video thumbnail got me...

 

[now i see it]

they're grating it wrong

 

[Internet Enzyme]

that thumbnail is viscerally disgusting and displeasing on many levels for me. This may be a bit melodramatic, but that's a really disrespectful thing to do

 

[shardey]

Better not waste that cheese!

 

[thadoggfather]

Painful thumbnail

So unnecessary. People are obsessed with saying it looks like a cheese grater. It’s not even funny Lol.

 

[Schranke]

How fun would it have been if apple actually designed it to be able to grade cheese after all the jokes. Nice that they tested it, now please clean that gorgeous machine.

 

[sully54]

actually grating cheese on the mac pro is such a weird flex. really unnecessary.

 

[fede777]

It's so expensive that they couldn't even afford a desk.

 

[Apple Knowledge Navigator]

Wow could they have picked worser lightning for that video?

 

[magicschoolbus]

I love how modular this machine is..

Well, looks.. I am assuming it's modular.. I don't really know much about it because I cannot afford it.

One of the worst ifixit vids ever created, if not the worst.

 

[ElectricPotato]

Customer: How about a little red Leicester?
Wenslydale: I'm, afraid we're fresh out of red Leicester, sir.

All the money they burn making this sort of content, they could feed the poor and donate to charities...

 

[ksloth]

So dumb.

iFixit's workflow for this video:

Step 1-- Decide on a clickbait thumbnail

Step 2-- Content for the video:
???????????????

Step 3: Publish!

🤪

People get upset over the most benign things.

You could save a lot of time by just looking at Apple's landing page for the Mac Pro. This video offers absolutely no useful information that you couldn't get elsewhere. Except for the pointless part with the cheese, I guess.

It takes FIVE minutes before they even open the thing up. Almost THREE minutes are spent on cheese.

 

[xraydoc]

We get it... It looks like a cheese grater. Been that way since 2001 or something. I think we can give it a rest now.

 

[RalfTheDog]

I spent three minutes trying to get the audio to work. (The video starts silent.)

 

[Stephen.R]

Wow could they have picked worser lightning for that video?

... I’m pretty sure any kind of lightning close to a Mac Pro is gonna render it unusable and kill or injure the person apparently grating cheese on it.

The cheese is likely to be obliterated by said lightning.

But then again “worser” isn’t a word so maybe I misunderstood what you meant completely.

They could have given the cheese to the poor.

 

[nitramluap]

Next thing they’ll be dropping new devices to see if they break, like all those attention-seeking morons who have no respect for the time, money, human effort & precious resources it took to create them.

iFixit. Go away.

If I go to Apple's landing page, I miss all the moaning and whining on MR about cheese on a computer. One would be forgiven for thinking iFixit was clubbing baby seals. I mean we got somebody claiming a computer was disrespected and another trotting out the feed the poor tired trope. People are unnecessarily up in their feels.
