'Its only quad-core'???
'Damn, what a ripoff'!!!!!
Were the deleted tweets.
lol quadcore, hp had 16 core machines out back in 2011.
Unfortunately, they were still HP, so they also crapped out and were returned to Staples and Walmart 3 months later (after hours on the line with frustrating "tech support").
1) It's interesting to note that (at least as far as I can see) the earbuds are only headphones--they don't appear to include the mic and volume controls that come with an iPhone headset.
2) The nosy person in me wonders what else you might see in the reflection of the MacPro if that reflection was un-distorted. My photoshop skills are nowhere near that good, though...
3) And yeah, I hope it is a fully-beefed-out example. For that price, it ought to be! It'd be even cooler if they had stuck a faster-than-publicly available CPU in there. Intel must have a few of those lying around, but not released because the yields don't yet allow it....
4) I wonder how long it'll be until Colorware makes look-alikes...

I see your point, but what you should understand is that Apple, just like other companies still in business, is a company first, and it is for PROFIT $$$, for $$$ - dollars - dough. They have employees, customers, share holders, and they have an obligation to all those. I would love for Apple to do more charity, but it's not my call.
They also had quad core. So yeah, keep comparing the entry level Mac to the maxed out HP.
Not that I even disagree with what you're saying. It's a bit misguided though.
Sorry, but that Mac Pro looks cheap and nasty in the photo.
A nice soft mat red would look glassy, but that looks like the finish on a chat Christmas decoration. Not a quality look at all.
Tbh, I would pick a black over that any day, even at the same price

The new Mac Pro is obviously geared more towards the video professional (and I can see photo as well). Does a sound engineer need the 6 TB2 ports? It's a serious question as I work with video a lot and not sound. When working with (especially) RAW video at 2.5k-4k the graphics cards and disk read/write speeds are going to be much welcomed over the hacked cards I run now with a flakey USB3 / eSata card on the current gen Mac Pro.
Wouldn't an iMac or even a Mini suffice if you don't need the video capabilities and TB2 speeds?

You can bet this is the 12 core, max everything
Actually, they were HP Zs so they pretty much lasted forever without a failure, but if something did fail an HP tech would be on site the next day.
Also, you cannot buy Zs at Staples or Walmart. If you are going to be all hypothetical at least do it right.
I saw these in the flesh at Sothebys.
Perhaps I am the only here who did?
I have not seen the black macpro, but the RED one was utterly, surprisingly, beautiful.
The Leica was also quite amazing. Essentially a perfect version of the type of camera Leica already produce. Truly one of a kind. My choice
The bidding on the macpro was the strangest for any item ever, there were 2 bidders who went up in $100,000 and $10,000 units. $200,000 then 210,000; 300,00 then 310,000 up to 800,000 and 810,000. Unique for any auction. Fitting? The bidder for the even 100,000s was in the room, the winner was on the phone.
Tim Cook was in the room and did not bid on anything.

he's gonna be disappointed in a few years when he realizes he needs more RAM
.... but then it'll go between the Cube the Apple IIc

I bet iFixit would love to get their hands on that Mac Pro. Be the first for the tear down.

I doubt this Mac Pro will ever be used. It's going to sit in a display case like a trophy.
