  • Editorial: New Mac Pro highlights the gap Apple isn't filling

    My needs and wants are probably fairly unique. I currently have 3 Macs, 2 as servers and the newest Mac Mini as my regular Mac. They are all connected to my 27" Dell monitor (LOVE all of those connectors) and a USB switch. It takes about 5 seconds to go from one to another: *DELL screen switch*, *USB SWITCH trackpad, mouse, and keyboard*.

    I waited over a decade for a Mac Pro to replace my first gen, Mac Pro 1,1 (server #1-Snow Leopard Server, 4 4TB media drives). I gave up in 2014 and bought a Mac Mini (server #2 High Sierra, running my Adobe Creative Suites and all my other 32-bit apps).

    When the new Mac Pro was debuted I almost cried. All this time and this Pro is way too much "pro" for me. So, after bitching and moaning for a few weeks, I kitted out the latest Mac Mini as a custom build with max everything. But what I really, really wanted was a MODERN cheese grater -> upgrades of the internals and leave the rest alone.
