That is like saying iPhone is a fancy version of old Nokia phones and nothing more.

Not in the slightest. The iPhone's UI was far superior, as was its hardware. What's special about the Mac Pro other than its case design? And what would change in how the Mac Pro functions if its guts were instead in the old Mac Pro case? All of the guts are just an Intel processor, AMD video cards, etc. There isn't some custom magical chip in there.

  You should really look at http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/ http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/ You cannot just add the components to any case and get the same thing.

    There's literally nothing here that you can't put in a normal case: http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/specs/ http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/specs/ Intel Processor AMD video cards PCIe Storage Again, what magic does the case add?

      For starters, there is the core that acts like a heatsink. Then there is also the smaller profile. I don't know if you've seen the previous Mac Pros, but they were huge. Also your argument does not add up! Are you saying it is not great because the components are off the shelf? Going by that logic, all the modern cars have the same IC engine. The Mac Pro clearly has more capable hardware, why is that not enough? why does it have to be a magic chip?

        My original statement was that the Mac Pro was a fancy computer case, nothing more. You state: > "For starters, there is the core that acts like a heatsink. Then there is also the smaller profile." Which is exactly my point. > "The Mac Pro clearly has more capable hardware, why is that not enough?" In what way? Seriously. You said it was "off the shelf" components and then it somehow has more capable hardware? How does that work? Because it has a unique cooling mechanism?

        >Which is exactly my point Which is what? It was not just the case, the guts are also different. I never claimed they are unique, but they surely are different. You can downvote me all you want, but saying the current Mac Pro is iteration/just a case and not a different product is wrong. >In what way? Seriously. You said it was "off the shelf" components and then it somehow has more capable hardware? How does that work? Because it has a unique cooling mechanism? I know I've said this before, but if you go to http://apple.com/mac-pro/ http://apple.com/mac-pro/, you can clearly see how it is more capable compared to older generation.

Just because they're different doesn't automatically mean that they're better. >I know I've said this before, but if you go to http://apple.com/mac-pro/ http://apple.com/mac-pro/, you can clearly see how it is more capable compared to older generation. What's the point of comparing with the older generation? The technology has advanced, of course it'll be more capable. Unless the user needs to stay in the Apple ecosystem, the Mac pro should be competing with the PCs of the "current" generation.

        You and the original commentor both seem to be missing my point. All I said was it is a defferent product, that is more capable than the previous generation. I never said it is the best or that it is unique in any way.
