  • So, given the information on Intel's release dates, when are we expecting/estimating to see a refreshed Mac Pro? I really want to buy before the year is up.

  • Could you guys/gals clarify something for me... Whenever the Mac Pro (or any system, really) receives the upgrade to Sandy Bridge processors, will the new architecture be able to support an upgrade to the eventual Ivy Bridge processors? Would I h…

  • Does anyone know if Apple will discuss (or even mention) the possible upgrade future of the Mac Pro at WWDC 2011? I know that it's supposed to focus mostly (if not only) on software. I'm certainly expecting for them to devote any significant time to…

  • Hey Guys! I am looking to purchase a Mac Pro. While I don't have a project currently lined up that demands the highest performance, I want to have it to be safe. I have a very large sample library collection(Music Composition) that I use to creat…

  • Given the amount of public troubles on the Sandy Bridge processors, I have begun to rethink purchasing a Mac Pro now instead of later. Answer a few questions, and help me decide. ? Is it likely that an updated Mac Pro system with the SB proces…
    in Mac Pro Purchase - Now or Wait? Comment by compos24 February 2011
  • (Sigh) Well, it looks like I'll just suffer through with my Mac Pro (2010 model). I do need the upgrade in processing power from my iMac. I would've liked to be on the latest model, but it's not required. At least I'll feel pretty cool for al…

  • Nuts! Any possibility that Apple will offer a Trade-In/Upgrade/Discount offer for Mac Pro systems to upscale to the Sandy Bridge models? Does History show this to even be a possibility? I thought they do something like this with the iPhone rel…

  • Okay. But, if I want to take advantage of what the Sandy Bridge processors have to offer, I WILL have to buy a whole new Mac Pro? I'm sorry for asking potentially juvenile questions. I'm not a Tech Guy, in the fullest sense. Not that this materia…

  • So, I'll have to buy a new Mac Pro if I want to upgrade anything after they start releasing models with the Sandy Bridge chips?

  • Do you think that this will be an option for upgrade when that time comes?

  • What information do you have regarding 2011 Q4, Mac Pros, etc.? Is this just an estimate on your part?
