I like my Mac Pro. It's more powerful than any MacBook I've used and gets stuff done. I find all the bad press and hate confusing. It's just a computer.

- mixmastamyk 9y agoIt's very expensive and ~five years old at this point.
- kruhft 9y agoNope, it wasn't cheap. But as an artifact, and me being a Computer Engineer, I'm impressed with it as a piece of hardware and design.
- mixmastamyk 9y agoI was impressed when I first saw it as well. However since they say it can't be upgraded, I'd consider it a failure.
- ralusek 9y agoThese are the two sources of confusion, and they are completely valid. Neither you "liking" your Mac Pro, nor it being "just a computer" address these completely valid concerns. 1.) Why is Apple not keeping this system in line with the state of technology? If it's targeted at professionals, why have they left their only option in that department 5 years behind in technology? 2.) Are they planning on making the next iteration upgradeable? For some time now, Apple has used third party silicon, interchangeable with that of any other system. Intel, AMD, nVidia. Professionals on any other platform can spend a couple hundred bucks and modernize their computer for 2-3 years. Isn't it therefore possible that the lack of sales in Mac Pro division aren't because of lack of interest or a small professional market, but because of a bad idea to make a proprietary desktop tower which locks down upgradeability?
