I've always wondered what sort of look they were going for.
The Mac Pro only costs three times as much as a cheese grater???
Apparently they make it up on the wheels. Apple is a strange company.
I think the wheels and stuff are just for marketing at this point.
Wait, what wheels?
look it up on apple store, if it's still on there
I just looked at the product page and every single image makes me dislike this product more than the last. The goddamn thing probably weighs 10 pounds and comes with fucking wheels.
Edit: Apparently it weighs 37 pounds. I don't know how they crammed that much bullshit into a 18 by 9 by 20 box, but they did and then they slapped wheels on it. The wheels are probably considered a two thousand dollar "value" by Apple, though.
bullshit doesn't end here. There's a $1k monitor stand, that needs a $200 extension to be vesa compatible, and is no better then some free stands that u get with (dare I say) normal monitors.
Surely you mean it comes with a 1000 dollar monitor, not...just the monitor stand?
How do you portay hysterical laughter with a comment?
insert that here
Gotta respect a quality use of the word “thrice”
Ignoring its existence is spitting in the mouth of pragmatism, and not in a good way
What comes after thrice? Quadrice? Tetrice?
Whatever you want, man, that's the trick
I remember seeing it and thinking "No, this can't be real. No way Apple actually did this."
Edit: I just checked and if you apply all upgrades, the total hardware cost is $12,348. That's 3.5th the price of the future Vision Pro
Have fun with your seven thousand dollar cheese grater.
Might’ve been a marketing move to connect to the apple pie with cheese demographic.
Did they just forget to crop the whole thing? It looks even more hideous with the grey background on the black background.
My browser is forcing dark mode on it and the picture is not transparent.
That's what i'm saying. I looked for a CPU cooler lastly and Noctua & co. (all with dark webpage) all neatly cut their product image on transparent. But Apple can't bother for their overpriced cheesegrater.
When did they give up on the trash can? I miss the trash can. It was easier to call it overpriced garbage when it looked like an actual garbage receptical.
