The thing that is really frustrating about the cylinder Mac Pro is that they wasted a lot of time and money on a cool piece of industrial design for a computer architecture that is fundamentally flawed, constrained, inflexible, and will soon be obso…

Obsolete the day it ships. Thunderbolt is perfect for a Thunderbolt display, but not much else. The use of 6 Thunderbolt connectors [I]requires[/I] two GPUs, how many current Mac Pros ship with two GPUs? This is a badly constrained design.

The amount of RAM isn't a big price difference, but it does suggest which GPU is being used. There is a pattern that one can notice about AMD desktop and FirePro GPUs. GPUs don't support a wide range of memory configurations, in part because every…

Quote: I do not think they are using thermal paste in this design. Look at the pics on the Apple website. Note the black metal brackets & knurled machine screws on the CPU & GPU cards. I believe they are using these items to clamp…

We don't have all the facts, but there are a few things that can be deduced from what Apple has shown us about the Tube Mac Pro. 1. There must be 2 GPUs. Probability: High. When Apple decided to eliminate PCIe slots and use Thunderbolt, they…

It's not a cylinder, it's a Tube. Mac Tube, the successor to the Mac Cube.

Quote: Also, external Thunderbolt RAID storage is more reliable and just as fast. All external storage on Macs is less reliable, because MacOS doesn't support SMART reporting except for motherboard SATA connections and SATA on PCIe cards.

Totally closed 'Pro' design? It won't take long for it to be obsolete.

Quote: The 2013 Haswell lineup includes a total of six "standard power" desktop processors, with two of them being more powerful Core i7 models. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't sell mid-range 'desktop' machines. Everything is either buil…

It now works for me. Apple status page shows as fixed.

I can't log in using an appleid from my iphone, but can with iTunes on MacOS.

This article is missing the image of the low-quality display due to compression. Also, the false statements by Apple that the adapter supports 1080p.

I'll bet the 128MB configuration is for special cases, like airlines, so they can equip pilots with retina-resolution maps and checklists. The cost seems high for normal use.
