Vincent Laforet has also had a Mac Pro and associated hardware for the past two weeks. Rather than film an unboxing video and first impressions, Vincent shared his experience in a detailed blog post.
A few quotes:
In short: the Mac Pro makes post-production feel seamless. One might even say that at times the post-process can actually become delightful. And to be clear, the words “seamless” and “delightful” are seldom if ever used in conjunction with the words “post-production.”
And:
For tech geeks, this is the equivalent of punching the accelerator of a top of the line sports car.
And:
I’ve actually caught myself saying the word Gigabyte more than once when I meant Terabyte a few times when speaking with others – given how fast certain operations have become (notably with the internal ultra fast SSDs that can reach nearly 3,000 Megabytes per SECOND.) Copying several hundred gigabytes of data can take just a few minutes now – not hours (or days with slower drives or interfaces that are just 2-4 years old.)
If you have the need, the need for speed, read the whole thing.
