i dunno.
we've all moaned at apple for abandoning the pro market for years - that trashcan was next to useless with it's lack of expandability - and now they've delivered big style, with a super fuck-off ult-pro behemoth that can pretty much do anything anyone wants.
ok so it costs shedloads, but the base model isn't so expensive and has all the expandability we've all been wanting for ages.
and yet we still moan.
- and there's even an option for wheels! what's not to like?hans_glib
- Power-wise it looks incredible, but I'll never own one. Most people on here won't either.
The handles are probably easier to use than the G5's too.PhanLo - The people who need that Mac Pro and are willing to spend the money know exactly who they are.mg33
- I had no idea there were film-making reference monitors pushing $10, $15, $20K. It sound's like Apple's monitor might be a no-brainer for film studios.mg33
- A 5" film-grade display is $1k. A 10" is pushing $3k. Having a freakin 30" is insanely innovative at those specs. Some people simply don't understand.monospaced
- Sorry, but the base model is "so expensive". $6k is so far beyond the sum of it's parts, it's absurd. And, there's about a 2% chance expandability isn'tsection_014
- locked to Apple. Or, some super small subset of 3rd party vendors.section_014
- Surprisingly there are already third-party "modules" announced for it. It'll be interesting to see if that market grows.evilpeacock
- I'm not surprised by that. Lots of people are excited to start hacking this via PCI slots.monospaced
- Overall shithot. Lack of nvidia gpus puzzles me though. Niche for sure, many 3d render engines use cuda acceleration+denoisi... arnold, rs, clarisse, vrayseldon
- + yeah hansMrT
- I predict the NVIDIA issue will be figured out in little time. Let the hackers hack.monospaced
