TMoney Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) ^ No surprise there. The Pro systems have slightly slower cores, just more of them. Unless you know you are going to be running a bunch of multithreaded apps that can really take advantage of the Pro systems the iMac and mini are probably a better bet. Still. That new Pro is just way too darn sexy. Check out the new product page on the Apple website. http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/ Oh my goodness is that ever hawt. Edited June 10, 2013 by TMoney Quote
shellylh Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Would love to have a desktop without a built in monitor that is more powerful than a mini and not as expensive as a Mac Pro for the office. Unfortunately, since it will be property of the university, I can't do a hackintosh (well, I probably shouldn't). Edited June 10, 2013 by shellylh 1 Quote
morphsci Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 My solution is using the Mac Pro for the computational shit and the MBA for everyday shit. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 I'll probably try a Hackintosh next time I replace my computer. Between iPad and work-issued laptop, my MBP has become a glorified desktop. It doesn't help the MBP generally has 3-4 external drives connected to it at all times. Really should invest in a TB dock w/ USB3. Quote

Cankin Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 iBook on OS X, airdrop and activation lock! Apple is listening to their customers. Quote
Voltron Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Nothing new on MBP? Damn, that Dark Tower is teh seks. Quote

Nebby Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Nothing new on MBP? Damn, that Dark Tower is teh seks. I'm not particularly an Apple fanboy by any means, but when Apple puts out a Haswell based MBP, I'm going to be quite tempted indeed. Intel's claims about significant battery savings seems to be true. Quote
The Monkey Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Is any of this shit available today other than the MBAs? Quote
agile_one Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 I have no need for the power and speed of that new Pro, but slap me silly, man, do I want one! I'm out on a ledge. Somebody stop me. Quote
Knuckledragger Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 I am unconvinced on the idea of external GPU enclosures. Quote
Nebby Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 I am unconvinced on the idea of external GPU enclosures. I understand they're useful in some cases, but I have no clue why they're pushing so hard to implement them. Quote
grawk Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 because most people don't need them, and it's better to be able to add them to whatever computer, rather than have to have something specifically designed for it. Quote
jvlgato Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 for MBAs with longer battery life! This! I've been wishing and waiting for an 11" MBA with the battery life of the 13" for a few years now. I think this is it! Any reason not to take the plunge? Quote
agile_one Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 ^^^ seriously? You are asking this crowd whether to buy something? j/k from all accounts, these new MBAs ARE the droids you have been looking for. Quote
jvlgato Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 Ha! Good point, Gene! Well, sometimes someone comes up with a good technical reason for waiting. Maybe someone heard Haswell doesn't play nice with Mountain Lions, who knows. Quote
blessingx Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 I've been wishing and waiting for an 11" MBA with the battery life of the 13" for a few years now. I think this is it!Thinkin' the same. Quote

Knuckledragger Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 The Mac Pro's lack of PCIe slots is going to send shockwaves through the pro audio and pro video markets. Especially with AVID and Pro Tools customers. Quote
morphsci Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 I think the new AirPort Extreme will be making its debut in the Novak Chateau before the end of summer. Quote
Nebby Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 New version of OSX uses windows file sharing by default I'm kinda surprised, didn't expect Apple to go so far as to adopt SMB2 as the default protocol. Quote
