This is now proving that no longer do people have to follow the big noisysquare box in order to have a powerful pc.
this was never something that needed to be 'proven' - it's been plenty evident. the primary reason for a big square box is internal expandability, and apple has essentially said, yeah, we don't think that's a big deal.
Well, at least they're not saying that expandability isn't a big deal...
True. Frankly, this new design makes perfect sense (if only from Apple's POV, at the moment), and I see nothing wrong with the design metrics. I suspect that in a year or two, the PC market will follow suit in some form or another. In some respects, things like Intel's NUC and Gigabyte's BRIX units have already started down a similar path. I suspect this new Mac might finally spur some PC vendors to take thunderbolt/thunderbolt2 more seriously.
Are you going to buy a new Mac Pro, and if so, what would you use it for?

It depends whether or not I find the performance of SolidWorks on my MacBook Pro running under Parallels adequate to my purposes.
