I am so irritated at their lack of new Mac Pros!
I’ve got a Mac Pro, the “trash can” one with no expandability and it’s four years old. My Apple Care warranty ran out last year.
I always replace my Pro machines after the Apple Care runs out, and I can’t do it now because there’s no new machines to buy!
I can’t use an iMac as I have two 30” Dell monitors, one for my apps, the other for the tools and palettes, and an iMac has an integral display, one I can’t use.
I don’t want a cube, the Mini, as I need Xeon servers and error correcting RAM.
I use my Mac for my profession and I’m on it sometimes 12 hours a day.
Everyone I know who used to use Pro Macs have switched to HP, Lenovo or Dell workstations, but my entire workflow is Mac and has been for the last 25 years.
I cannot stand how Apple has so completely abandoned the Pro market!

I thought they were working on a customizable Pro. Maybe coming after iMac?
We bought a new MacPro last year to replace one of the old towers as a high speed server. Unknown to most pro users is the fact that Apple quietly upgrades the processors over the years of production. Ours had the latest, greatest Xeon processor for the number of cores we wanted installed in it.

The iMac Pro has up to an 18 core Xeon processor, up to 256GB ECC RAM, a 5K 27" IPS screen, and can drive two more 5K monitors (including Dells monitors).
By the way, a fully configured iMac Pro with everything I mentioned and a 4TB SSD would only set you back by a mere pittance (LOL) of $15,699.00.
Thats about the highest priced Mac since the fully configured Mac II way back in the late 1980s which could top $20,000.
Um, theres a new Mac Pro they announced last year. Looks like an iMac. 5K screen, Radeon Graphics, Xenon Processors (up to 18 cores).
Not cheap, but power rarely is.
Geez!
