How many, if any, of these support file metadata? In particular Finder tags and custom folder icons. The latter may not matter but if you use Finder tags to keep project stuff together, their loss can leave you with major problems.  

I know Synology don’t support them and outside an HFS+ or APFS formatted drive, I doubt anything else does.

God, I hope Jony doesn't have any input into the design of this machine. Otherwise we'll be seeing something that looks pretty and is totally unfit for pro use.

You beat me to it.  Looks like Ive has been sidelined on this project.  Rightly in my opinion, since the MacPro should be all about engineering.

Shouldn't they discount the current model?  15-20% discount might keep a few more on the platform

This is my point entirely as well. If you start adding in the mouse to iPad apps you essentially just have a thin laptop. 

Alternatively you pave the way for Apple's answer to the ChromeBook.  Lightweight, ARM based, runs iOS apps and relatively cheap since it's aimed at schools.  ChromeBooks are getting a huge following in schools as they're cheap and easy to administer.  

I thought the US had separation of powers such that Law and Executive were independent of each other.  If so why is the Supreme Court asking the opinion of the President as to whether it should hear a case?   Surely it either should or shouldn't based on a matter of law? 

Viewed from this side of the pond it looks a little odd.

Are these usable with TB2, albeit with an adaptor?  I have a MB Air with TB2 and would dearly like one of these in advance of my purchase of one of the new MacBook Pros.
