- jacques_chester 14y agoI'm also holding out for a Mac Pro bump that isn't a pisstake. So I guess I'll bite a few bullets at once.
- niggler 14y agoDon't hold your breath -- I felt the same way about xserve before Apple shocked us with the axing of the server line.
- jacques_chester 14y agoI am certainly concerned that they might give it the official arse. The only thing that gives me hope is that the Pro fits a small but important niche in the overall ecosystem: a system better suited for the developers of iOS applications than the iMac is.
- Zr40 14y agoWhat does the Mac Pro offer for iOS developers that the iMac does not?
- jacques_chester 14y agoMore. Of everything. More cores, more RAM, more GPU grunt to drive more screens.
- jvm 14y agoThe initial version of ML was terrible on my 2008 MBP but they made performance enhancements and now 10.8.2 works fine. Spending $50 for gb/RAM didn't hurt of course (best investment of my life btw).
- oomkiller 14y agoYou must not have an SSD yet. I highly recommend them.
- awjr 14y agoI'll second that. I put an SSD into a 'poor performing' laptop as a stop gap before buying a new laptop. I still haven't bought that new laptop 2 years later.
- jacques_chester 14y agoI used an SSD to breathe a second life into the late '08 iMac I'm typing this on.
- jvm 14y agoYeah I was checking them out when I was getting my RAM, I'm just on the fence on how long I want to keep this computer.
