New Mac Pro is Quieter Than iMac Pro, Has Optional Wheels, and Was Kept in Top-Secret 'Stealth Enclosure'

They bombed Pearl Harbor...

And don’t forget them shelling Ft. Sumter . . .

It looks ugly, whether i want to buy it or not. Just being objective.

What’s funny is when the last fastest desktop computer in the world was released by Apple over a decade ago two things occurred:

People complained how ugly it was; the show attendees lack lustre response matched the 2019 Mac Pro unveil yet a very short time later many lived it and today STILL do!

Also, people complained about price and it took 8mths for haters and the competition to catch up and veto to have Apple pull the advertisement “fastest desktop computer” from all ads.

I girder the same thing happening this year.

Still I will always love the G5 along with Panther OS X as I got to attend that WWDC

That list not very detailed, nor does it mention any brand names aside from CPU.

Cooling solution is missing from the list of items. Also, since time is money, you really need to add some labor in.

But yeah, you could definitely build a cheaper computer using cheaper parts.

And yet none of the parts Linus stayed have been mentioned to give the same performance lol.

Agreed, although I cannot speak for ALL pros.

The point I've been making and probably the primary complaint of the price complainers is that this machine is NOT a replacement for the old cheese grater. It is FAR more powerful, capable and cutting edge, thus also FAR less downward scalable.

We now need something just as modular but BELOW the INSANE level of power this has, above the Mac Mini, and priced accordingly.

Up to 2 GFX cards of our choice, up to 64GB RAM, i7-i9 chips, TB3, 10GB Ethernet, a couple of slots for non-soldered storage. Call it the Mac and price it like regular iMacs or so and we'd be good.

What I'd REALLY love is Apple's version of this sexy (and UPGRADEABLE) beast:

But I digress...

Mac mini 2018 + 3rd party eGPU & LCD.

Nice ad hominem there.


If I "slap something together", and it is equal or better in performance to this kitchen utensil, for less money, then the discussion is over. The most important conclusion is that Apple is getting 100 percent profit margin. Highest of any product they've made to this day.


You are getting RX 580 and 256 GB of storage in $6000 computer. Just let that sink in.

Sorry the most important solution is you began with IF!

Nobody is pricing in equally matched hardware, performance sustained over hours, warranty and proper support for all components and not the age old redirection of warranty support from pieces pointing the finger to one another of all the mix match hardware manufacturers should something go wrong. Does any of those windows is cheaper crowd price in full labour and warranty over 3yrs plus or actual OS licensing costs va just stealing the os off BitTorrent etc?!

Nope not one rebuttal in 15 pages of this thread as of yet. Nothing about illegal methods and the price to pay for usch hackintosh efforts.

But the Trash Can Pro with consumer CPU/RAM options in the $1,500 - 2,500 price range depending on options would actually be an interesting option.

Just needs the Thunderbolt 2 to be ugpraded to 3. Replace the 2nd GPU slot with SSD tray and you've gota a decent Mac Desktop

I hvae no problems buying a machine that gets dusty inside, as long as it's fairly easy to open up and clean. Dusty and dirty build up in high traffic areas is a massive problem. If I can get inside the computer with a can of air for 30 seconds and redeploy, it's usually enough.

Dust inside your machine? Man keep your place clean get a Hepa filter and copen the Windows from time to time.

Did you watch the keynote? She said it’d be perfect for developers who orient the screen in landscape.

We were quoted $1.5k per machine

Yup, an arm and a leg.
