MplsP said: Right, but if everyone starts waiting 3-4 years to upgrade instead of 2 and then gets the lower model instead of the top of the line model it still spells potential trouble. That’s been happening for several years now, and Apple…

tht said: PickUrPoison said:Wanting and lobbying Apple for a cut-down Mac Pro is great, but you missed my point again; read what I wrote. As long as you realize it would be priced at $5k, fine. Wanting it for $1,000 or $2,500 is a fantasy…

tht said: PickUrPoison said: You missed my point. People can want a $1,000 or $2,500 minitower, just like people can want a $200 or $500 MacBook Air or iPhone Pro Max. Nothing wrong with wishing for something at an 85% or a 60% discount,…

rain22 said: Apple basically gave the middle finger to pro’s with the new Mac Pro. The Mac Pro IS NOT for pros at all - it’s for a niche market of video content creators. A ‘pro’ computer would service all professionals, not just one small s…

danvm said: tht said: danvm said: Your are right about the Z4 and the Xeon W-2100. But like I posted before, I did a similar configuration with the Z6, with a current 8-core Xeon W-3223, and it went for $4850 including the 3-yr o…

madan said: I'm not trying to make it hard on anyone. But I am trying to clear things up so people know what they're getting into. Buyers remorse sucks. It would be a shame to spend 8k on a computer and find out that it competes unfavorabl…

lkrupp said: I’ve wondered about Apple’s decision to not charge late payment fees. That seemed like an invitation to abuse the card, especially if the credit information was not being sent to the credit bureaus. There’s also a thread on the …

gerry g said: What gets me is that the MacPro was always touted as modular at its inception yet all I see is a case with a set of proprietary modules, all of which are out of date, the chip I believe is EOL, still susceptible to the spector v…

entropys said: It isn’t an SE if it is iPhone 8 sized. That would b an iPhone 8c. I get your point but with an A13 maybe 11C? I think more likely it won’t use any numerals, since I’m sure Apple’s planning on selling it for three or four …

schlack said: freethinking said: I don't care too much about it being cheap (within reason) I just want a small form factor. Exactly. Why is Apple missing us. I’d pay $800 for a killer small phone. You and maybe a few million o…

Rajka said: Surely you jest, Jimh2. I'm sure many people like to have a go at Apple's in-house diagnostic software. That could save someone a trip to the Apple Store, and time is money. According to the article it seems Apple’s in-house di…
