New Mac Pro on July 20

Oooooo

I think we should start a new thread where people choose a specific date between now and the end of the year that they think the new Mac Pro will be out. Everyone has to choose a date that hasn't been chosen before. Whoever is right gets the title of being awesome or something.

Just a suggestion anyway, just for some harmless fun ;)

I think it's time for the "angry mob" approach, complete with torches and pitchforks. :D

I think each person that guesses should have his/her own thread.
Look at the bright side, that's only 26 new threads for this year on the same subject.

Are we going to march on Cupertino?

The MacPro delay has absolutely nothing to do with CPU shortage or any other CPU related problem for that mater. The local computer store is putting computers together with these new CPU's since the last week of May...This tells me that if a relatively small computer shop is able to get their hands on the cpu's that are supposed to go in the MacPro's , there's some other reason why the MacPro is taking so long.

i'm "guessing" that the machine is just not ready and far from ready, last year Apple has clearly shifted its focus on the Ipad and Iphone leaving no time to come up with a computer that's worthy to be Apple's top of the line high end professional workstation. They could come up with a simple upgrade but even Apple knows that a simple CPU upgrade is not going to cut it, if they did the Imac (also due to update) and Mac Pro would be direct competitors with very few differences in speed, even the fact that the Imac is very limited in terms of expansion wouldn't justify the 2000+$ price change with the mac pro when speed is basically the same.

There is small volume mom and pop, Dell's requirements to kick off a niche machine, and then Apple's supply requirements.

Mom and pop are happy with 5-10 cpus when they order, Dell can probably launch a new workstation product when they get 5-10k CPUs, Apple likely wants a 90day guaranteed supply between 50-100k.

Still quite a bit below the needed supply for the launch of the iMac and the number of i5 and i7 CPUs needed for an update.

Sorry, but that has absolutely nothing to do with predicting new releases.

Did you even read my post? I guess I need to be blunt: this is satire. It's meant to be funny, not pro journalism.

Here's the cliff notes for the folks who have trouble with satire/irony/sarcasm:

1) Isn't it ridiculous that Apple is taking so long to release the new MP?
2) Isn't it ridiculous that the Mac Mini is cooler than the MP which costs many times as much?

Here's the pop quiz:

Does Steve care about thingies?
A) No
B) Yes
C) Yes, but it's funny that Steve Jobs, one of the most impressive CEOs out there, would use the word "thingies"

Is the 10 Mac Mini more sexy than the 09 MP?
A) No
B) Yes
C) Yes, and it's painful for Apple to give more love to the Mini than the MP.

Answers: For both, B is correct and C is correcter

I don't think that for a professional workstation, looks should be such a big deal. The reason people get workstations are for the power inside, not the looks of the case.

Don't forget that Apple is a business, that not only caters to the consumer, but also to its investors. Apple has a greater obligation to them than us since they actually own some portion of the company.

With $40B in cash, I don't think investors are losing sleep at night.

Sorry to resurrect a nearly month-old thread...but it's now the 19th...so, you really think so? New Mac Pro on July 20th? Would kinda suck because I just ordered mine today, LOL, but it's a refurb and I got a great deal so I will still be happy. :D
 
The Mac Pro has to update soon because it'll leave enough room until Q1 of next year for sandy bridge.
 
ehm ok... he asked for any opinions on a release today (its 3 am where i live^^) and all i said: i'm sure it wont happen. but if u want any arguments for that: there are actually NO rumors about it and i think apple wont release something on the day they communicate their financal results.

anyway... i'd love to see a new mac pro in a couple of hours. i'm wating since march for it...

Well g'day mate! Lets put another shrimp on the barbie~
 
I hope so but I think it will be until end of summer for the new Mac Pro's, I just believe it when I see it at the Apple Store until then... the wait continues and Apple better release the larger LED Cinema displays with the new Mac Pro's been waiting 2yrs for an updated 30-Inch or 27" what ever Apple comes out with but then again the 27" was just a rumor also.
