Hmmm... no one is interested in the Mac Pro? It's expensive though, I'll admit...

That's true of a lot of Apple computers now... Macbook Air, Macbook Pro Retina 13" and 15", iMac....

Anyway the Apple Store is now down...

well it's on sale now. Prices are exorbitant, as expected.

try max out processor, RAM and ssd.

the price is S$13,528.

haha thats because you maxed the processor and GFX options.

Actually I don't think the pricing is *that* bad, considering an average power desktop user

Theres no real need to upgrade the processor from the base model, how many people need 12 cores anyway? Likewise for the ram, you could just upgrade the SSD if you really wanted to (honestly, with a desktop, you can just run external storage...you won't be moving the desktop, and you have ample thunderbolt ports for external devices).

The final setup which is fine for at least 90% of typical desktop users will be under 5K. Considering that the maxed out 13 inch rMBP already costs nearly 4K, it doesn't seem that bad, honestly.

Interested in seeing it, not in owning one.

 

[Snoweagle]

If I've a lot of money, I'd get one. But for now, very happy with my 2010 MBP.

Because ordinary users like us don't need one.
We most probably wouldn't require the hardware that is built into the Mac Pro. The graphics card that's used in the Mac Pro is meant for rendering videos/farms

Looks like demand is higher than supply... I was surprised to see shipping dates slip to February.

Hmmmm... OWC is already supplying third-party RAMs for the Mac Pro. What are the chances that the graphics cards and the SSD can be replaced as well? That would make this even more appealing....

EDIT: Nevermind, I answered my own question.

 

[clokwerk0]

MY store sticker price for Quad-core RM9699 (around S$3,7xx) while 6-core goes for RM12999 (around S$50xx)...

 

[blackmamba09]

Still deciding. Might just find another 5,1 to replace my 3,1 currently. I have no idea why one day I'll probably just click 'buy', heh. *while the missus is out, of course*

 

[IronMac]

The missus says to buy one but I know that I don't really need one. I'll probably get a maxed-out iMac or rMBP in 2014 or 2015.

 

[ralliart12]

So it's actually way more "silver" than black?

Which 4K monitors are users pairing with it anyways? That Asus one? Wonder if the local authorized dealers will have units for showcase?

hooted basic specification waiting queue ish Feburary!
