Mac Pro to Finally See Updates Next Week

I know there hasnt been any parts leaked that would indicate a redesign. The Mac Pro case is getting a bit dated. Its still an awesome design, no doubt, but its time for something more sexy.
 
Finally no more of this

ugh, why are they wasting their time updating this out of date relic!
Steve Jobs must be turning in his grave that they've not yet killed off the mac pro.

Face it, they are not needed any more.
Everything you ever need you can do on an ipad.
If you can't do it on an ipad, then its not worth doing.
Epic Apple fail!!:mad:
 
Thank god! This is hopefully a confirmation apple will not drop the ball on the higher end professional user. Please apple be more transparant to the business user. I so hope this is true
 
Thank God finally! My PowerMac G5 is on its last legs and I anticipated updates last year so I waited. Haven't been able to justify getting one until they get updated so maybe next week will be the week I finally get a new machine!

Not sure why the MR article omitted the most interesting part of 9to5Mac's report:

In early 2011, we reported on some of the work that Apple engineers had been prototyping up for a future version of Apple’s Pro desktop line. For that report, sources said that Apple had been experimenting with a new Mac Pro design that is rackable and stackable. These prototype machines also included space for more storage drives, an important feature now that the Xserve has been long discontinued. With a year having passed since we heard about these prototype Mac Pros and the ability of Thunderbolt to offload a lot of the expandability, the final new Mac Pro designs could be different than the current designs but we haven’t yet heard definitively either way.

It would be interesting to see a Mac Pro in a rackmountable design, with perhaps the choice of 7.2K or 10K SAS drives, as well as SSD in a 2.5" form factor. Oh wait, that'd be a server. :D

Thats great news, as there will be a lot less whining now on MR. Exciting!

the whining won't stop. Now instead of it being "why haven't they done something with the Mac Pro" whining it will be

"what no redesign on that tired old case"
" still only 4GB of RAM"
"no blu-ray WTF?"
" You call that a GPU?"

etc whining
 
Oh, NO!

This is TERRIBLE news for tablet-totint-tweens who insist all computers should be able to fit in their lunchbox and have "apps" and be used for just dicking around instead of actual work! *sarcasm*

Absolutely extatic with this news! This is my first pro purchase (audio post work / composer) and i'm over the moon Apple haven't forgot this incredibly important (no matter how small) section of its business!

Seriously happy for everyone that the pro matters to! :)
