I bought a Mac IIFx back in the day. It was a little too much for me then and the Mac Pro will be too much for me now. I have two trashcan Mac Pros and they work well, and I will keep them.

Ahhh the days of the IIFX ...."Hey ..want a $7000 computer that doesn't come with mouse/keyboard or monitor?" I always laugh when people say $3000 is expensive for a computer.  The midrange Iici was 3499 back yesteryear.  

I'll buy this Mac Pro probably within a few years.  It's a computer designed to last 10 years.

Hey Apple, how about adding the Synology RT2600ac Router?

Apple please add these vendors. 

Ubiquiti/ Amplifi 
Synology MR2200 
Plume based routers 
Luxul 
Ruckus 

Good start.  I hope more vendors get excited and add support.

LOL.  Spotify.   Here is a company that is seriously overreaching and does not even understand its place in the market or its mission.   It has gone off the rails  

(which is bad for me personally, as I have Ecobee 3's in my home)

My first smart thermostats was the Ecobee 2nd gen (if that's the one that started supporting HomeKit) and it was nice.  The only reason why I didn't go Ecobee for my 2nd thermo was that I got a great deal on a Honeywell T5 and frankly 250 bucks is too much for a thermostat.  Two generations later I can't really say that this company has it's pulse on the future.  They announced an overdone switch (when people really want dimmers) and have gotten too cozy with Alexa.    Innovate guys. 

Trash.  They basically ran out of ideas a couple of years ago and now stuff in services that aren't complementary.

No reason to get this. Never heard of a 5Gbit Ethernet. Ran 10Gbit between switches years ago so why not just get 10? macOS has a driver for 10Gbit Ethernet so why worry about a third party rob53 said:

driver?

NBaseT products are designed to deliver 2.4/5/10Gpbs speeds over standard Cat 5e cable.  Thus these products are ideal for people that can’t swap out older Ethernet cable for newer Cat 6 for better performance.
