Shills over at Twitter have found the rationale to defend the recent announced prices for the new Mac:

Boosted contrast and color saturation

It's just a stretched image

what? cases on wheels?

Yet the people assembling it are still paid fuckall

desu one of the things Apple have been pretty decent at has been accessibility.

In my opinion, pushing the industry forward is something like three new oneplus phone, or the Xiaomi cheap but good stuff
An over engineered display stand for $999 is luxury tech to keep investors happy, and apple is a company that denies growing out of glorified tech. Their last straw is privacy. Nobody believes in current apple quality

Neither. There's a Talos hardware which comes for a premium, now that's something unique. Apple promotes its tech to suckers, and that what people are usually against.
Sell good hardware and nobody would be against it, not some server dumpster diving tier stuff.

>Nobody believes in current apple quality
I do

>defending your corporate overlords charing 1k for a fucking stand
Targeting corporations doesn't make it ok to charge 1k for something so low tech as a stand.

I bet your also believe in God then

they should make a proprietary DRM-locked wheelchair

kek

>Pushing the industry forward
>By putting together a bunch of Chinese shit we didn't even make.
Well shit, apparently I'm a fucking genius too!

>>It moves the industry forward, so it's good
Everything in it that isn't apple proprietary nonsense is last gen.

the mac pro itself can be as expensive as they want it to make and it's within reason, we're all bullying apple because of that other 1000 scam

>>it's not for you, so hating doesn't make sense
this is true though, 90% of the retards gawking at the price are gamer faggots who know fuck all about enterprise hardware and think i9s and threadrippers are peak computing

$6,000 is nothing for a workstation, my dream Z8 is like $50,000 minimum

I still have my 2,1 Mac Pro - why I would want this? Why anyone would buy this? paid 60$ for it and 65$ recently for a 64GB RAM upgrade and 160$ for the GPU (CAD)
I will be a dedicated Steam/Proton and Gamecube emulation machine

presumably because they want something more powerful that is actually supported by modern OS X and software

How funny. Everyone in this thread has ignored this image completely.

Hahahaha I'm crying why does it has tiny tardy wheels

Doing so would require two borderline sacrilegious acts of Jow Forums thoughtcrime:

1. Acknowledging that a new Apple product is not in fact a technical holocaust, but rather is mediocre at worst.

2. Acknowledging that they aren’t really as knowledgeable about technology as they think they are, and nobody cares if their gaming PCs they built all by themselves are a better value for playing Fortnite and watching porn.

how funny, nobody is defending hp in this thread

Nobody was attacking HP either, the Pro is a fairly standard mid-range workstation in a shitty case.

Technically the image can be interpreted as an attack to HP since it confirms that the Mac Pro in fact is cheaper than the Z4, thus confirming Apple claims.
The Mac Pro isn't a tech holocaust. Its pricier than the 5.1 Mac Pro at its launch time tough.

It's priced similarly to other workstation computers.

It's not a workstation.

Oh, the goal posting started already.

I see people praising it because it's MODULAR

I honestly do not understand this...modular? Isn't every PC modular? I can just open mine and put a new card in, or remove one and replace

Are mac users aware normal people have been doing this for decades?

but now it's apple approved modular

>normal people
K.
Its praised because Apple finally understood they can't wall all the garden.

The funny thing is, this shit is not really modular as a PC
You have to buy customized modules values mpx or some shit like that

MPX are just normal PCIe cards with extra PCB electrical lines to get power delivery without cables. You can use normal cards instead.

Funny thing is if they used Zen 3 it would have run cool as fuck on a eypc chip

>HP workstation when at the very least half of the price makes sense
>Apple workstation where 20% of the price makes sense

>certified UNIX
>ECC ram
>highest end processor that was just announced yesterday by intel.
why isn't it a workstation?
I love to take bait.

I'm getting one just to play video games. Stay mad poorfags

Cope.
The HP is more expensive and its using an older processor. You also have to pay for a more beefy PSU that Apple supplies you at the start price already.

I guess, but in the context of who the Z4 and Pro are built for, both figures are near equally inconsequential wipes of an ass, and the rate at which workstations have seemingly inflated in price lately is definitely disappointing.
Prior to this glorified cheese grater your options were a hotted-up iMac or a trashcan that relied on thunderbolt dongles to re-implement basic functionality professional users had taken for granted on Macs since 1987.
The cheese grater has eight standard PCI express slots, one of the few things they actually did right, they finally beat the Power Macintosh 9600...
The PSU upgrade is only like $30 extra, though.

Yes, but the Mac Pro is still cheaper and comes with the beefy PSU already. In my book that's a plus.

We can agree that workstation hardware is getting expensive every year. I blame the shrinking of the market and Intel inhability to shrink their node.

The display is unironically not a bad buy, even with the stand, if you're in the market for a $6000 display for some reason. Most people who will buy it could barely tell the difference between it and an uncalibrated gook panel, but whatever.

The new Mac Pro is an okay product at an absolutely comical price, though. It would still be excessively priced even at half of its MSRP.

This coming from someone simultaneously trying to plug an obsolete $8,000 4c/8t space heater whose primary selling point is security through obscurity and a less mainstream sticker on the front of the case.

You know the POWER9 chips Talos sells are the newest ones, right?

That's what companies buy. HP workstations are pretty neat machines actually.

I don't get it. Couldn't you take the exact parts that make up the Mac Pro, buy them separately, and build a PC that performs just as well on workstation tasks at 1/5th of the price?

Yeah, and? They're overpriced garbage from nearly 4 years ago.

UNIX is proprietary malware and POOSIX is useless trash with zero marketshare. When is fagOS going to get Linux Standard Base certification?

Like Unix, Linux didn't succeed because it was good.

The level of classcuckery displayed by the average American retard is truly astounding.

See

>bruh it's a workstation just install Homebrew or run all that pre-2008 UNIX software
They go head to head with EPYC 7601 in well optimized benchmarks, you seem to be confusing the first Talos boards with the present ones
LSB it's deprecated, POSIX it's still the only cross platform standard
Still, the 2001 POSIX Applel does it's pretty much useless nowadays, 18 years later

Meanwhile, Dell will sell you an equivalent workstation (with two WX7100s; looks like that HP and the base Mac Pro each come with only a single card) for $3200. Plus, they'll sell you a top of the line 8k 10 bit display for $3900, which comes with a stand.

This. Dell is the cheapest Workstation provider right now if you want a Windows Workstation.
Lenovo doesn't have a parts-by-parts offer in this moment.

This is the only argument one needs to demolish the "reliability" of apple garbage. If a product is actually good, then its producer will offer great warranty with it. That's all there is to it.

REMINDER BUYING APPLE 1.0 IS LITERALLY RETARDED
TIME AFTER TIME, THEY ALWAYS FUCK UP 1.0

>argument
>comparing the standard guarantee with the pay extended one
I also can pick images to make dell look like a shitty brand.

nobody on Jow Forums would waste money on a product not designed for them

The thousand dollar stand reminded me of this image: stupid macfags will buy anything that has the apple logo slapped on it.

God I miss the Dell onsite warranty.

Those fuckers go anywhere the product is.

>pay extended one

It's already included in the price, you idiot. 3 years warranty is standard for dell products. Meanwhile, Apple charges fucking one thousand dollars for a stand and will give you one year warranty on their fancy looking chink crap that cost an arm and a leg.

The base $7,898.99 Talos II direct from their website only ships with two quad-cores. A 22-core sets you back at $2,250 per chip, all to run pretty much nothing, because nobody cares about POWER on desktops.

Get the cock out of your mouth.
Post a link, I'd love to see it.

Yes, PC's have been modular since the early 90s.

Am I the only one that thinks the new Mac Pro looks like a giant cheese grater?

Just like this. Dell also requires an explicit enterprise contract for on-site service.
