MacDailyNews Take: Hello, gorgeous!
It looks like a furnace filter.
a Gorgeous furnace filter!
When are those Radeon Pro W5700X GPU’s coming? When and how much info is always helpful.
The powerplug is far from being in optimal position on the back. In fact I would love to see most of those plugs populated sideways. Still a beauty to look at. Is air flow reingeneer? Looks like pretty much any rackmount workstation beside being Apple product. Ya ya, I am tough because I can’t justify the budget for such a beast. Love rackmount products.
It’s amusing how wherever some site talks about the Mac Pro, they always mention the price of the costliest configuration for the workstation. Honestly, how many people or corporations are going to purchase the most expensive configuration of the Mac Pro. 5% – 10%, maybe. Even a mid-range configuration is more than most users will ever need. I’d be surprised of anyone ever orders the 1.5TB RAM option from Apple.
It is very strange. It’s like saying a new home model is $10,000,000 (when you order it with solid gold fixtures and chandeliers by Harry Winston).
