So this means that after all there is still a niche for Mac Pro....
- TheOtherHobbes 10y agoThere is a niche. It's not a big niche, but it's a niche. And if the MacPro had been an updated cheesegrater instead of an ashtray, it would still be selling into its niche. There's a solid market for ancient but refurbed/updated cheesegrater Pros, and an even bigger market for screamer dual-Xeon monster PCs. Considering how few media power users like Windows, Apple should own the latter. It's a shame Apple has turned its back on those users. But I suppose the conclusion is right. Mac is now a dying brand, and Cook wants to kill it off within the next five years or so - very likely taking the soul of Apple with it.
