Very exciting news. I suspect Apple will sell a bunch of these, especially to folks tapping their feet waiting for an update to the Mac Pro.
Though there’s no pricing on the Apple site quite yet, it was originally announced with a base price of $4,999.
No doubt they will sell some, but I think they kind of Osborned the iMac Pro when they pre-announced the new Mac Pro early this year. I think that the majority of people who want a workstation Mac prefer a modular desktop, and will wait.
This thing feels a bit like the Cube – undoubtedly cool, but not the machine that most people in the segment will actually buy.
I wonder if they’ll make a VESA-mount version of this one, too.
I don’t know. I think that requires you to define the segment too narrowly.
I’d love a new Mac for app building. I don’t have it in the budget right now, but this would absolutely be it if I did.
