Alan BakerAgreed, the design was a shocker but today i re-looked at this and decided it's actually genius.
<http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/>
Up to 12 cores, Xeon E5 processors.
Four channel, DDR3 1866MHz, ECC memory (60GB/s memory bandwidth)
PCIe gen 3 at 40GB/s
Twin AMD FirePro GPUs, able to support up to 3 4K displays.
PCIe-based Flash storage at 2.5 times faster than SATA-based flash.
Up to 36 peripherals at Thunderbolt 2 speeds (6 TB2 ports allowing 6 daisy-chained devices each at 20Gb/s)
Plus 4 USB3, HDMI 1.4, gigabit ethernet, and all ports light up for easier use when you turn the machine.
And 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0
All in a 10" high by 6.5" high cylinder.
This is now proving that no longer do people have to follow the big noisysquare box in order to have a powerful pc.
This machine spec wise is a beast and highly customizable.
But the best thig is the space saving size of it, this is a workstation class machine that can sit on a shelf or on your desk and because their are no major moving parts in it other than the 1 fan at the top, i bet this machine is pretty quiet when running.
This has now set the bar for future pc hardware makers. Will be interesting to see how things unfold.
