    Apple missed the mark completely on this... completely. They custom designed a Mac Pro for Pixar... what about the rest of us? FFS...
    What this should tell you is that you and those like you are irrelevant to Apple. You are not the “pro" they are looking to satisfy. They didn’t miss any mark at all. They nailed it. If you want slots and and a plastic case for $1500 just march over to Frys or Micro Center, pull some parts off the shelves and cobble them together. Apple is after the real pros.
    Lol... you’re funny.

    If you’re a Fortune 100 company... it’s going to be great!
    Quality tools are expensive. Do you need a tool this powerful? If so, great, here it is, you can do your job and produce value with it. If not, it's not for you, and that's fine. The iMac Pro, iMac, and Mini are great options for desktops.
    Uhhhh... yah. They designed a Mac Pro for Pixar and maybe 5 other massive design houses. What about the other 98% of content creators? 
    Where is the Mac for the small business that makes up 98% of the market? The freelancers who need a solid machine that they can upgrade over 7 years. iMac isn’t it. 

    This is looks like a fantastic machine - but it misses the mark for what the average pro user has been asking for.
    Oops, you just confused your opinion for fact. If you disagree, please link to a definitive source that backs up your claim. 

    There are plenty of Mac options for small businesses. Such businesses likely do not need a MacPro. Per Craig, the majority of their pro users are...developers. The new iMac and iMac Pro have them covered for software development. Likewise for wedding photographers and the other small businesses in your mind. This....is a workstation. If you cannot afford, you very likely do no require it.

    Not for hobbyists and tinkerers, sorry.
    Such businesses do not need THIS Mac Pro. That doesn’t mean they don’t need a Mac Pro and that there is still a gap in the lineup not addressing a rather large market. 
    And im guessing you aren’t a business owner... there is a big difference between affordability and practicality. 
    Its a beautiful rig thou...

    The industrial design looks fantastic! Steve would be proud. But for ATI only and 1 gen processor design... it’s not going to make a lot of sense to the average pro at these price points. I think it forces a lot of people to stay in iMacs. Do I want one? Yes. Can I afford one? Yes. Will I buy one? No. Apple would have to offer a 5 year warranty to convince me to get into one.
