No Mac Pro: Not Fair

VirtuallyReal said:
You are a MBP user... you are not even a MP user, i wonder what are you doing here. My point remains: it is an inconvenience to wait this long for the update; again, if you don't relate to the issue, your opinion is marginal. don't get mad, and feel free to go away anytime, starting, say, now.

Seems far more inconvenient to be without a computer which you rely on for cash-flow. If I sold any of my computers/servers that are required to earn, my business would tank. I have the budget and when the next pro arrives, I will purchase it. Why get disappointed and say it isn't fair because you were unable to budget?

Enough with the attempts of making this a personal matter; if you guys have something relevant and valuable to share, other that personal attacks to me, you are more than welcome.

I feel much better now, seeing that A LOT of MP users here feel the exact same way that i feel.

If you think it through, this is wrong in some many levels. Here we are, a bunch of guys with thousands of dollars in our hands, so desperate to throw them at Steve's pocket, and he seems not even interested... while others are struggling to get a tiny bit of our attention... i'm in love with Mac, they are so great, we all are in love with Macs, but that doesn't justify us being treated this way. Here we are, hoping. Begging. That's just not the way it was meant to be.

I recommend that you buy a PC if you are so dependent on frequent updates. Apple has never... ever... updated their professional desktop line in a manner that someone would equate to the word 'quickly'.

I'm serious here, go buy a PC. You don't seem to want a Mac.

2009 Mac Pro's are not as reliable as 2008 Mac Pro's, hence the need for a "quick" update; i decided to skip the 2009's, that's why i'm waiting for the 2010. If YOU like PC's, go buy one.

Don't come to a Mac forum and tell people "buy a PC". I've been using Macs for over 15 years now, i think i don't need your unsolicited advise, thanks, i know what i want, i want a new Mac Pro, a way better one than the 2009 Nahalem. And i want it ASAP. I think we all deserve it.
 
Let´s face it... No Mac Pro in 2010

I think Apple has decided to take a one year break from Mac Pro and focus all it´s energy to all the iToys (iPad, iPhone4). So the next Mac Pro release will probably be not until January 2011.

Sucks big time, but what can you do. Of course we´ll never know, maybe they have killed Mac Pro production all together, anything is possible. But anyway, that´s my take on it.
 
For the love of Mike, can't you put this in one of the many other threads?
 
I'm sorry, but this is nothing but another wasteful thread spouting nonsense based on no solid information.

It's true that Apple doesn't care as much about computers as they once did, but you have no information as to the release date, so it would be prudent for you to wait, just as everyone else is.

I think the facing of this hard reality needs it´s own thread. :)

Would you kindly show us the official information from Apple, Intel, or any of the manufacturing firms that make the Mac Pro that state your supposition as a reality?

I am still highly doubtful that this post required its own thread.

When have they released Mac Pro in fall?
 
Original Mac Pro was released in August. One month off from Autumn. So what's another month? Seriously.

And this thread, c'mon. Facts? What facts?

Evidence of the past doesn't define the future.
 
I, too, have been holding off for an update. This would be my first Mac (I jumped in on the iPhone a few years ago and subsequently am do for an upgrade. Good timing!).

I am beginning to think that we might not see something until the end of the summer. They are currently running the college promotion special which leads me to believe they won't update until the college sales are about done. They can suck the last life of it for now.

I also understand from rumors on here that they filmed one last PC/Mac commercial which includes an iPhone spoof, right? That also makes me concerned that they are "passing the buck" over to the iPhone as some people have mentioned. While I don't think they'll completely abandon the Mac Pro, I do think the updates will become less frequent. The chips are built to last awhile now and with that many cores you should be able to get some mileage out of them. I would be using mine for music production. I am currently running a Quad CPU Dell I built a couple of years ago and while it's serving it's purpose, the Mac Pro would do me much better.

Keeping fingers crossed anyway but if I don't see an update I might see how I feel in the next month or two after some more royalty checks roll in. :p

What does the dr.Phil always say: "Remember, the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior."

Then we have to wait till August right. If nothing happens, then definitely not until January 2011.

Uh, no. None of these months means anything. There is nothing set in stone for any release dates of any non-iDevice made by Apple. There is no "definitely not" and no "have to wait".

Basically, Apple's computers are released when they're released. There are no timeframes other than the availability of Intel chips.

Enough of this rubbish, I did exactly the same as the OP, I sold my machine back in December thinking an update would be coming between January-March.

At the time, it seem perfectly reasonable to assume an update by March, indeed everyone I know in the industry expected that to occur.

Yes I am a professional and needless to say I deeply regret that decision now and had no idea it would take anywhere near as long as 7 months (and still going).

Wow, you and the OP must have been separated at birth. Or you're the same person.

So, let's break this down...you're a working professional and you sell your computer because...why? Because you thought a better one would be out soon and you were willing to give up work for a couple months in hopes that you'd make all that lost money back with faster rendering times?

Craaazy.
