Well I didn't expect that
Almost took it as some sort of joke at first...

Just keep clicking.
Personally think without the case it looks kind of cool, with it just looks very meh.
What sort of price do you thnk it'll be? I think it looks very nice indeed but with a 12 core Xeon in it then it won't be cheap even by Apple standards.

hmm intriguing but i have a feeling this is going to cost alot
Re: Apple introduces new Mac Pro
They're certainly 'thinking different', got to give Apple kudos for that (tho I bet someone can unearth a manufacturer who's done it already LOL)...
Hope they don't price it into the stratosphere...

It seems Apple has abandoned the 2C market in some ways and repositioned the Mac Pro more as a high end desktop it seems. I suppose the compact size and the use of external expanion would be OK in that situation.
Really interesting design, reminds me of the old G4 Cube in a way.
Cunning idea to have the cpu and both gpu's share the same heatsink by making it triangular, although I do wonder if it's going to be enough? (the G4 Cube was plagued with overheating issues)
Also sticking a miniPCI-e SSD directly behind a gpu doesn't seem too healthy for heat issue ether.
Wonder what the cost is going to be?

Reminds me of a) a bin b) the piston steam box.
Looks like something you would find on the Death Star
I like the engineering more than the looks. I mean, it's a small black cylinder. But it has a pretty nifty cooling system and I'd like to see similar options available in a more flexible build.
Expect expandabilty to be not available as standard!
Oh god the Apple arrogance! Re A unified thermal core: "No computer has been built this way before." - how about the fanless media PCs that use heat pipes and the single PC case as a large heatsink (Zalman TNN-300 for example).
So yeah, maybe the first computer designed to look like a bin. Grrrrrrr!
Plenty of Thunderbolt and USB ports for that.Originally Posted by jimborae

Thunderbolt isn't a crutch for impractical hardware design. You can't, for example, add or replace CPUs and RAM with TB. You can't replace GPUs with TB. Adding a handful of hard drives will empty your wallet as well, since you have to get an expensive TB DAS to go with it.
I like it. But still laughed at this.

Society's to blame,
Or possibly Atari.
