Although with my latest experiments with thunderbolt, the one thing that sort of made them necessary for certain audio applications that being storage has been mitigated. But still, will probably get one just because raphie can't.

You really don't like him too much.

if he were ice scream, he would be non fat vanilla. It isn't that i dislike him, i just find nothing to like. He is banal beyond measure, the kind of person that is just so boring that his existence is just kinda redundant. And his whole mastering thing, and pretty much his entire music endeavour is embarrassing because he tries so hard but is just so bad. I suppose i just find people like that depressing. Like how does one become so rucking boring.

I'm predicting 16-core Mac Pro's. There are Xeon Sandy Bridge CPU's with 8 cores. So a dual Xeon Mac pro is 16 cores :eek:

I wish they'd reduce the cost somewhat.

The absolute bare bones machine is $3.5k here.

Mac mini Servers look tasty for the price with HDMI/Firefire and Thunderbolt ports, and people have managed to install OSX 10.6.8 instead of the buggy Lion Server.

Fair enough, no PCI slots but still. 2 HD's in the little box and a Quad-core - either that or Hackintosh.

Hopefully they'll announce upgrades to the Mini's in tomorrows announcement.

Wont waste your time with the new Mac Pro updates.. No USB3/thunderbolt or upgraded GPU, just some faster CPU's and a bit more ram... Apple's well on their way to killing the Pro market just to make money on Maps, Angry Bird and iPads.

iPad and Garageband it is then.

it hasn't been released yet. The one you are looking at is from 2010.

It appears they are letting it die rather than putting it to sleep.


Ohhh ohhhh, perhaps there will be an iMac Pro

/the only people that really need a mac pro now are graphic artists due to the video card requirements. The imac is pretty much as powerful as the mac pro and with thunderbolt, storage is no longer an issue.
