Today, in a story by Techcrunch’s Matthew Panzerino, Apple gave us an actual timeframe for when we’ll see its next pro-level Mac desktop. The company, clearly aware of the fact that it’s been way too long since the last desktop, also gave Panzerino a whole mess of platitudes and excuses.
Four years after the launch of the trashcan shaped MacPro, Apple has finally, slyly, announced a new MacPro. The news comes via John Gruber of Daring Fireball:
RatedRR has taken their gadget torture from shooting at things to blowing them with C4—a plastic explosive—and detonation cord. The victim will make Apple fanboys weep: A new shiny Mac Pro. The results are obviously spectacular—but perhaps even more impressive is how hard the Mac Pro is.
This is the iPro, a mix between the iMac and the Mac Pro with a 35-inch display by Swiss designer Kurt Merki Jr. Madness or genius? You decide.
Swiss designer Kurt Merki Jr. thought it would be cool to mix the iMac with the Mac Pro into one product called the iPro, complete with a 35-inch display and integrated sound bar. It looks... interesting, albeit a little bit far-fetched.
It looks like a waste paper bin, costs a fortune and is, perhaps, the best workstation you've ever owned. But what lurks beneath that shiny black shell?
After no short period of waiting, the new Mac Pro has finally gone on sale today. All along it's promised to pack punch, and it might just prove to be your ultimate work station. But absolute power will cost you.
The cheapest Mac Pro you can buy, Apple informed us last week, will cost you $3,000. That's a pretty penny, sure, but not outrageous for a workstation these days. What if, though, you spec it out as far as you can go? That's when we hit new car territory.
Today was a banner day for new Apple goodness. We got a thinner, lighter, iPad—the iPad Air—as well as a new retina display iPad mini, new Haswell chip-packed MacBook Pros, and a deeper look at the new Mac Pros. Do you feel like you need a cheat sheet to keep track? We've got just the thing:
Apple's pulling out all the stops on its venerable Mac Pro line. This years edition offers more computing power than the entirety of some developing countries. Here's what's in store for Apple's power users in 2013.
As was foretold by the ancients, Apple will hold its holiday iPad jamboree on October 22nd. We'll see some new tablets, sure. But there also might be a trove of other odds and ends awaiting us next week.
I love the Mac Pro. I love its simplicity and its ingenious engineering. And I would like it even more if it were encapsulated in glass, like in these 3D renderings created by Martin Hajek. It looks fantastic.
I love the Mac Pro. I love its simplicity and its ingenious engineering. And I would like it even more if it were encapsulated in glass, like in these 3D renderings created by our friend Martin Hajek, who painstakingly modeled its guts following Apple's transparent prototype displayed at WWDC 2013.
Early computers were bland beige boxes—meant to blend in with whatever workspace they were placed on. But during the golden age of the super-powerful workstation, designers got wild with form factors and materials that oozed with confidence and no small amount of sass. In some ways, the new Mac Pro returns to that…
The last we heard of the Power Mac G4 Cube—a computer everyone loved, but no one could quite figure out—was in a press release from 2001. Twelve years later, we've finally met its beautiful, brilliant, and not altogether sane successor.
Apple exploded rumors that it would murder the Mac Pro today. How? Well, by previewing a new badass version of the high power monster that's coming "later this year". The guts of the new Mac Pro are undeniably impressive, but what about the new black, cylindrical look? We've heard everything from "OOOOO shiny", to,…
Today during the WWDC keynote, we got our first look at what Apple is thinking in terms of the future of Mac Pros. Everyone who said the Mac Pro is dead can just shut up. Here comes a new freaking generation of high-performance computing from Apple, and we couldn't be more excited.
While everyone is transitioning to lighter and thinner laptops, you can show your love for Apple's venerable—and occasionally updated—Mac Pro tower with this custom printed 3D iPhone case.
Though the Mac Pro got a half-assed update yesterday that was promptly forgotten today, it's really been on life support for years. But don't worry professional people! Tim Cook has officially said that Apple is "working on something really great" for the Mac Pro and that it'll be coming next year.
