Right. What will the dimensions actually be when people add the expansion they used to be able to put inside. More cables and money for an ugly Thunderbolt chassis to hold 1-4 PCIe cards, plus one for a RAID drive system. It will end up taking more physical floor space than the current Mac Pro.
Not for me. I don't need PCIe cards. Surely you're not applying criteria that only apply to some to all Mac Pro users?
Should I only apply criteria that apply to all users?
I'm a Pro user that this machine is targeted for. Audio professionals, especially Pro Tools users, generally use one or more PCIe slots.So you say, but your credibility isn't really high, especially when you use the word "generally". If you had kept to "I use", then I would have said nothing.
But then again, who cares about you? You don't even know what it will cost.Steve de MenaIs one stuck with the AMD FirePro GPUs, no way to upgrade like the current Mac Pro?Sandman
Yeah, you're "stuck" with 12GB of VRAM that would edit full-resolution 4K video without breaking a sweat. Don't you feel trapped.
Maybe I don't need that. I do audio. Perhaps I'd like a less heat-generating and cheaper option, so I have money left over to buy the external Thunderbolt accessories to actually make this thing work for me?
Steve likes his slow interfaces, indeed.SandmanSteve de Mena
It also gives you a HDMI out and four USB3 ports (you know, for the old slow devices :)
Wow, four USB ports. I'm impressed I have TWO 10-port USB powered hubs on my Mac Pro today,
