Article mentions that the Mac Pro is now called the iMac pro... I hope not. I hope the iMac pro is just that, a pro version of the iMac, and that a new Mac Pro comes out as well. I have an original (now 11 year old) Mac Pro 1.1, and it still works. Upgraded the original dual dual cores to dual quads, upgraded memory, added ssd and all still works. I don’t use it as often as I did, once, but I can. And with some hacking, it even runs latest OS X... having it in an iMac format means that if the screen goes, your kind of screwed. And if you want higher res for the main screen.. we’ll your still screwed... I just hope the Mac Pro lives on...
- cstross 9y ago> I hope the iMac pro is just that, a pro version of the iMac, and that a new Mac Pro comes out as well. That's exactly the roadmap that was announced at the last Apple WWDC: Pro version of the iMac around the end of this year, to be followed by a new Mac Pro (with no built-in monitor) when it's good and ready.
- eddieroger 9y agoThe article is wrong. Apple had a small press roundtable earlier this year and said the Mac Pro lives on and is being completely overhauled. Business Insider missed that.
- rhinoceraptor 9y agoApple said they ran in to thermal issues trying to update the Mac Pro, and they're switching to a new design... perhaps sometime in 2018 or 2019.
