I don't know whether including Google is valid or not. For Google's part they've acknowledged the serious child labor problem in the Congo and since at least 2016 have been monetarily assisting the effort to eradicate this issue in the mines there.

But including Apple is valid?

Seriously... what is the purpose of 6K if the screen is only 32"? You'll need a microscope to read!
If it was 55" I'd be interested.

Why do you keep posting this? Do you have any concept of screen resolution or normal viewing distances? You don’t need a microscope to read an iMac screen, and this is the same density. Not to mention you can adjust the OS scaling to your liking.

Because he wants a bigger screen? Just guess in’ I mean if you are going to drop 6k on a screen that needs its own special cloth you may as well get what you want right?

Not a single person on this planet is going to drop 6K on this screen wishing it was a 55" screen. The kinds of people this screen is for know exactly what they need to use it for, and that doesn't include binging Netflix. He's not going to drop anything on this screen, because he clearly has zero concept of the kinds of tasks it's meant for. Nor are any of the trolls mocking the price. You can go out and buy an 82" screen for less than 3K, if thats what you're looking for.

You posted this exact same comment in another thread, and it was just as idiotic that time. Why post such stupidity multiple times? Why the need to shamelessly advertise such utter ignorance? Do you not understand the difference between a monitor and a TV? Or the relevance of viewing distance of several feet vs several inches? Who do you know that uses a 55" display as a professional monitor? Unbelievable.

No NVidia support. This is DOA. Apple is stubborn beyond belief. $6000 base price includes an anemic GPU. Ridiculous. I wanted to love the new Mac Pro. They gimped it and then limited hardware compatibility. Tim Cook is bad for Apple. This latest release is not the only reason. I considered buying one. High price for pointless omissions and limitations. I’ll pass.

I have a feeling trolls like you don't have the need for even 1% of this machine, I very much doubt you do anything even remotely professional. No, you never "wanted to love" the Mac Pro, nor did you ever consider buying one.  This is a pretty tired line that predictable trolls like you use. How is it "gimped"? It will most likely wipe the floor with almost everything, all things considered. And what exactly did you plan to use this machine for? The people that ACTUALLY have a use for this machine don't balk at the price. 

And do you actually think that Tim Cook fucking personally chose the specs? You're THAT confident that under another CEO, even SJ, the specs would have been to your liking? You do recall that SJ enraged the spec-whores literally every single day, right?

Some of you have such a personal, raging hard-on against Cook that it's unbelievable. And you articulate that through dishonest statements continually dishonest statements and utter lack of context. In no rational world has Tim Cook been "bad" for Apple. The company has experienced mind-blowing and continued success through his leadership in pretty much every single respect, from their product line, to the technology, to services, features, software, to retail, to stock price, sales, etc. It is more successful and healthy today, in all aspects, than at any other time in it's history. The fact that a niche, unreleased product (Mac Pro) doesn't support some videocard you want does not negate all that. Well, maybe it can, to a 4 year old.

Finally a new professional workstation. Looking forward to that. About the screen I have to say that is the dumbest thing in the universe. Only 32" at 6k? Way too small! With 6k I'd expect 55" or more. Otherwise you'll need a microscope to work!

This is one of the stupidest posts I've ever read. You DO realize this is NOT a TV, right? And that viewing distance is MUCH different than a TV? I don't know a single professional that works with a 55" monitor. Which is why 55" screens are called TVs, not MONITORS. You really want to work with a 55"+ display inches away from your face?

Some of these posts here just absolutely blow my mind. So much ignorance mixed with so much confidence.
