  • Apple asks White House not to apply tariffs to Mac Pro parts

    Given Apple's extreme pricing of it, including obscene pricing for SSD's & RAM w/ proprietary connectors, let them pay! Till now all Mac Pro's have been made in the US & the only reason I can fathom to manufacture in China  is higher profits - i.e.: "myopic greed" (short term extreme profits vs long term sustainability w/ reasonable profit margin resulting in customer loyalty & long term acceptance). Frankly, given its price point, with similar machines using other OS selling for around 1/2 the price and using industry standard connectors, I would not be disappointed to see it 'go down in flames' due to its price & lack of industry compatibility for RAM, SSD's & GPU's. Don't bother discussing 5-6K for a 5K monitor & $1000.00 for a monitor stand.

    Given its likely profit margins from this machine I am perfectly fine with Apple giving the our Government 25% if its manufacturing costs as I suspect they have very little 'wiggle room' in which to raise the price even higher.
