I just received the email announcing the new Mac Pro, for the fun of it I configured what I think would suit my needs and there was this interesting price tag. I'm still quite happy with my 2013 Mac Pro (ashtray model) which I leased for 3 years and finally bought in 2018 and my Macbook Pro from 2018 which is a little monster but sooner or later I'll have to buy into the next generation, the specs of the new machine look impressive.

Yep. My 2013 ashtray has hardly ever coughed & still going strong : )

I just read a new fully loaded Mac Pro was somewhere around €56,000!

Ok I nearly swore for the 1st time on kvr...£360 friggin quid for a metal frame with wheels, I gave up when I noticed a rig similar to my 12 month old build was already 3x the price before I got past the wheel options.
Fools n their money soon parted son!
Sheeet the monitors are over £5K alone....

even starting to be required by some software... looking at you Massive X.
the ashtray models are coming down in price. certainly not going to pony up $6k-$10k for a mac pro. perhaps imac... so many used macs to choose from

I’m leaning towards iMac too. With a Mac Mini refresh TBD and refurbished 2019 iMacs available, it’s hard to beat the value if you need the screen. I think I’m going to test drive one and make sure I can deal with a 5k resolution.dayjob wrote: ↑Wed Dec 11, 2019 6:06 ameven starting to be required by some software... looking at you Massive X.

Have a look at the new 6-core i7 mac mini. Benchmarks spin circles around the old MacPro ashtray model for a small fraction of the price.
Plenty of really good, color-calibrated screens around too that are *not* from Apple

I went that route, to choose an ergonomic wall-mounted screen with a ~130ppi density so UI are large enough.BerryLaCroix wrote: ↑Wed Dec 11, 2019 7:16 amHave a look at the new 6-core i7 mac mini. Plenty of really good, color-calibrated screens around too that are *not* from Apple

I was ready to buy one for my video stuff and started a configuration including the screen , but certain things are really hard to swallow.
Like $400 for the wheels , $999 for the monitor stand , $999 for extra matte screen ??!!
That's the price of a Macbook pro.
I mean wtf ?
I would love to boycott this if there were comparable durable, stable systems available.
