Who actually buys these? I was buying myself a new work machine last week, and wound up going for the 27" iMac since I really couldn't think of any possible justification for the Mac Pro.
The price gap is really quite significant, for what doesn't seem to be much of a gain in performance.

- maxawaytoolong 16y agoI bought one. This post by Marco Arment explains it better than me: http://www.marco.org/868606627 http://www.marco.org/868606627
- gamble 16y agoPeople who need to run OSX and need multiple cores and lots of RAM or support for hardware expansion cards. Think high-end RAID cards, graphics cards, specialized AV cards, etc. If you don't know you need it, the Mac Pro was not built for you.
- petercooper 16y agoI bought one in 2008 because a Mac Pro with 30" ACD was my "dream machine" and I had the money. A bit like buying a stupidly overpriced dream car, I guess. Turns out, I hardly used any of the power and now it sits unused (for the past year) and I'm more than happy with a more practical 27" iMac that actually fits in my lounge..
- nek4life 16y agoI bought the 2010 3.2 Quad for the following reasons: * I can't stand glossy monitors they give me a headache. * All-in-one equipment is like writing a huge multipurpose function, one part breaks the whole thing is junk or very expensive to repair. * Expandability, I plan on having this machine for a while. * Lower priced after market components versus notebook sized components.
