Hey guys, I realize that this thread has been pretty much dead regarding the new Mac Pro but let's try and get it back on topic. Maybe you can compare life experience by using the PM feature. One of the big questions, at least in my mind, is how …

The price for the entry level machine was pretty much what I was expecting. However the 256GB storage was disappointing. Once they list the pricing on configuring your own it'll be interesting to see what the cost of upgrading to 512GB will be. The…

I'm very interested in a new Mac Pro as my 2006 model is limping along. This is a definite buy unless the price is outrageously expensive. I'm also debating upgrading my iPad, which is the original model. Still not sure. Next Tuesday could be ex…

If the new Mac Pro doesn't surface at the October 22 meeting and/or the price for the entry level model comes in at over $3000, there's going to be a lot of ticked people.

Regarding a 256GB SSD: the whole point of fast SSD storage is speed. Why handicap the machine with having to off load data when you're working. I'd want enough room on the SSD for system, applications, data, a scratch disk, a working file large enou…

I feel that a 256GB SSD would be an insult in a supposedly "professional" machine. I still cringe when I think of the last radical Mac desktop, the Mac Pro G5. It was the worst Mac I've owned dating back to the SE. I hope they've done a better job…

Does the Maverick Golden Master include support for TB2?

The rumor today on AI is that Maverick will be available in late October. That's about the right time frame for the new Mac Pro, so hopefully price and availability will be announced then too.

Marvin, what you wrote is interesting, I guess, but IMO what the majority of users are most interested in will be the configuration of the base model and its price. Based on past history Apple should offer more than just a high end model. So I gues…

The Dell U2711 has been replaced by the U2713H and HM, at $100 or so cheaper than the Apple 27" TB monitor. Regarding the Apple monitor, the reviews on Apple's site are pretty mixed. The Dells also comes with a 3 year warranty. Regarding the…

With the total lack of new information since the June Mac Pro announcement this thread has really gone off on tangents. In one way it's kind of interesting that there's been nothing new. Usually on new updates there's been rumors from suppli…

I voted for the new fireplug Mac Pro. The old one is a non-starter. If the new Mac Pro comes in above my price point, then I'll go with a 27" i7 iMac to replace my 2006 Mac Pro.
