The fashion statement as you put it is their biggest differentiator. You are being unfair or shortsighted from their perspective.
- graeme 10y agoFor the pro though? I get that it is for all their other stuff. But the Mac Pro is a very specific market segment, and they probably mostly care about performance, peripherals, and being able to seamlessly use OS X rather than configuring a hackintosh.
- vosper 10y agoThe fashion statement is what they did with the last Mac Pro, which they've clearly (finally) realized was a big mistake. I'm sure the next one will look nice enough, but I'll bet it also prioritizes function over form.
- timc3 10y agoMost users are in the target market that I come across, primarily in the video & music market would be happiest with a rackable solution.
- pavlov 10y agoFor the Mac Pro market, their biggest differentiator is that an Apple-branded desktop computer comes with a legal macOS license. That's it. They could just keep selling the "cheese grater" design with updated Intel + NVIDIA guts, and users would be happy. This design conundrum is entirely Apple's own doing.
- kranner 10y agoI would be happy if they reverted to the previous Mac Pro design. It was expandable and looked IMO better than the dustbin.
