TMoney Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share 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.

shellylh Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share 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).

morphsci Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 My solution is using the Mac Pro for the computational shit and the MBA for everyday shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebby Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Is any of this shit available today other than the MBAs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agile_one Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebby Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvlgato Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share 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?

agile_one Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvlgato Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckledragger Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebby Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
