Starting at $4999?

That’s a little salty for me.
Sigh.................I guess I’ll just hobble along with my Windows XP...................

This is the Pro. It’s in the ballpark of the other Mac Pro realeases. The Pro
line is often unnoticed except the video editing and similar high demand customer. They tend to be high performance leading sometimes bleeding edge boxes.
Big deal!
I just read about an experimental pc on a Ukrainian dairy farm that can process over 150 ropeadopes per gigaturd!
Apple’s obviously on it’s last legs....
AAPL is down 1% today. I guess the market isn’t impressed.
Gotcha, that makes sense.
Or I can buy an HP for $500, which is one tenth the price. And I’m already used to Windows 10.
Not impressed and way overpriced.
That for a very tiny market of people willing to pay 5k for a computer.
That’s insane!
That’s great for top of the line - maybe people processing movies or something. But what about for mere mortals?
The "MAX" specs boggle my mind:
I could write this off as a business expense...but I cannot abide with these 16:9 monitors that are being pushed on us these days by most companies. A professional monitor should not bow down to the home TV crowd.
So, does this come with at least a 16:10 monitor?
A Mac Mini works for me.
Apple didn't announce the iPhone 8 or whatever it's going to be called. They aren't stupid. If they announced the iPhone 8 (whatever) in the first week of June for release in September they'd kill iPhone sales for the next three months. That's a stupid move.
Apple did announce new iPad Pros with more speed and a new 10.5" size to replace the 9.7". The new size will accommodate an entire full size virtual keyboard and it will also handle a real full size keyboard cover. They also use a new processor that is twice as fast as before. . . and the new iOS 11 will be completely multitasking with complete drag and drop between apps AND have a full file system.
But, since all those things are not the new iPhone8, the market is not impressed.
The main clientele for this computer will be TV and movie studios that do high tech video editing.
They probably don't see you and me as part of their target demographic. They claim if you configure any other manufacture to the same specs it would cost more. These are all server grade parts. I think my old 2009 Mac Pro may do me until I don't need one anymore.
I paid like $6k for a smoking hot Mac IIfx in the 1990s. Obsolete within 5 years
I guess I'll continue with the old reliable, low cost, personal computer. It has had its ups and downs over the years but mostly ups and I have no complaints. A PC is a good value.
Then again, the PC is a true free market computer where everyone and their brother can develop hardware, software, build systems. Competition brings the cost down. Monopolies do just the opposite and that is why Apple is always more expensive. Then again, that allows them to control the quality and design.
So... if you are okay with paying 5x more for a system, then hats off to you. You probably drink expensive cognac and have a butler.
