Next year's Mac Pro is up to 18 months away, they made this because that's a long time to leave developer communities discussing Windows and Linux alternatives.

- slantyyz 9y agoBut you still have to wait 6 months to get an iMac Pro. Releasing the iMac Pro in December 2017 may as well be considered a 2018 release.
- threeseed 9y agoWhat developers are needing a Mac Pro ? Unless you're doing machine learning and then chances are you're either doing it in the cloud or you already have a specd out white box. Otherwise Macbook Pro has been more than sufficient.

- irrational 9y agoDoesn't that depend on what kind of developer you are? If you are just doing coding then anything that can run your ide and 3-4 browsers will work, but many developers also need to run raster and/or vector software, video software (even though I'm a coder I still have to do image and video work on a fairly regular basis), database software, etc. I have so many tabs open in my browsers that they often are using 4-8 gigs of memory concurrently. My ide often takes up another few gigs of memory. Photoshop takes up quite a bit of memory. I run 2 large monitors off of my computer which takes a bit of processing power. And so forth. In my experience it isn't to hard to push a mackbook pro to its limits.
