Wow, what kind of Mac are you buying for that kind of money:)
- mattmaroon 18y agoI just looked on Apple.com, that was the starting rate for a Mac Pro. It was a beast though, with 2 Quad Cores. The rest of the specs were woefully unimpressive, but I guess it's like a Lexus where they know that if you're spending that much money, you'll have no problem ordering the upgrades, and they just put the base price there to lure you in.
- drwh0 18y agoyou can buy an i7-based desktop from dell for $1300, WITH A 24 INCH MONITOR. the i7 is at a minimum more than 200% faster than the mac pro's processors. don't believe me, read tomshardware or anandtech for $2800 you can get one of the dell gaming i7 boxes that is tricked out far beyond anything apple offers hardware wise, once again, a minimum of 200% performance improvement the mac math once again does not hold up. and where is their snob appeal? they don't even have an i7 box on the market

- chollida1 18y ago> I just looked on Apple.com, that was the starting rate for a Mac Pro. Sorry, I was making a joke about the extra zero you had in the price. You had put $28,000 rather than $2,800:)
- mattmaroon 18y agoHa. I guess that's if you get the solid state drive.
