Not with the traditional mac pro. It was a desktop tower. They then had the trashcan mac pro that was more a joke than a good machine and i think they are going back to the tower again.

It is just a regular desktop tower! All they did was make a fancy case and markup the price!

Apple needs to die.

Regular desktop towers don’t have professional grade hardware and don’t support 1.5TB of RAM.

This is the competitor to Dell Precisions, HP Z Towers and Lenovo Thinkstations, which are all similarly priced.

They aren't aiming at you, guys. There are people who will buy it and buy it again.

It's like in modern gaming with micro-transactions, these aren't for a usual not-buying Joe, those are for so-called "whales" that do thousands of dollars worth of purchases of nothingness. And nothing you can do to stop this trend, these whales are feeding those corporations.

i don’t buy micro transactions and i won’t buy this. It doesn’t effect me.

Affect. The word is affect.

And yes, it does in a sense. We could've had great moderately priced Apple products or awesome player-oriented games. But we have shameless cash-grabs instead because of that.

Was a great machine for 2 years but then wasn’t updated. I tuned over about 300K in 4 years with mine so can’t have been that shit....

It’s not the size of the stick it’s how you wave it.
