Yeah, kinda disappointing and that explains why it was a quiet refresh and no mention on the event.

Apple believes the pro game is bullshit and if you want to get serious you should by a linux and build your own custom software.
- of course, that's what they've been saying for years... dumbassmonospaced

If you cannot build your own software they want you to use instagram and stfu

I am curious why they still use the pricey xeon's. Is it primarily for dual processor options. All i know of xeons is the error checking ram that goes with them? And something about graphic processes without a dedicated GPU. Which seems pointless today. If its primarily for dual processor ability you think they'd pad the profit margins and offer a single processor with cheaper ram that still performs great and xeon-error checking ram prices. Wish i knew their thinking on that, because i bet people who love apple would still eat it up.

Sweet! Great news. We're decking out a new suite later this year and had the feeling Apple were going to ditch their pro line.

"In early 2011, we reported on some of the work that Apple engineers had been prototyping up for a future version of Apple’s Pro desktop line. For that report, sources said that Apple had been experimenting with a new Mac Pro design that is rackable and stackable. These prototype machines also included space for more storage drives, an important feature now that the Xserve has been long discontinued. With a year having passed since we heard about these prototype Mac Pros and the ability of Thunderbolt to offload a lot of the expandability, the final new Mac Pro designs could be different than the current designs but we haven’t yet heard definitively either way."
interesting...

Next year? They are getting fucking lazy. It's like a car maker ditching their sports car heroes and becoming (even more) boring – ie Toyota.
Mac Pros should have the latest processors, video cards, thunderbolt and Blue Ray.
Serious let down Mr Cook.

hopefully the shitty cords that come with them will last longer than 6 months at a time.

I think there is something really weird going on about the product design with the new macbook pros.
I mean, more ports and SPEAKERS?!?! I could buy a PC for that :P
Sadly I think the era good looking products is passed away with Mr. Jobs....

I wouldn't buy these "new" Mac Pros if I were you.

Tim Cook:
Update: A MacRumors reader writes in to share an email he received from Apple CEO Tim Cook after he asked about the future of the Mac Pro:
Our pro customers are really important to us...don't worry as we're working on something really great for later next year.
