Mac Pro – If you are having trouble finding the words …

Hope springs eternal, I guess. However, this “wait its going to come” postulating across the web is getting old.

Apple needs to bite the bullet–realize the secrecy bit is NOT working when it comes to the Pro line– and tell us something!

Clint, I just feel they’ve had a fat lady singing very, very loud for about three months, now. And the orchestra was tuning up for her for about three months before that.

Sorry but they are telling you something. You just don’t like the message so you are not hearing it. To me it is a 150dB Klaxon…..

Yeah that may be, but there always seem to be folks in the audience (i.e. internet rumor mill) that is also singing a very loud chorus of conflicting tunes, drowning out, or at least muddling, the fat lady’s song.

I think with today’s lame update –which many are taking as a slap in the face– the fat lady may finally be singing loud enough to be clearly heard.

Still, there seem to be a few clinging to the desperate hope that this is just a bandaid to staunch the wound, while the “real” extra-cool Mac Pro super update is waiting in the wings.

I heard the message long ago. But “reliable” internet sources keep telling me I am wrong.

To me the most disappointing thing is that not only is there not a adequately updated Mac Pro, but the 17″ MacBook Pro doesn’t even exist anymore. It just isn’t listed on their website anymore.

I don’t know what everyone’s so upset about. Didn’t you see the guy cutting on FCP X out of the back of his SUV? I mean, X is all you need, and it works on the New Hyper Special Retina Skinny MacBook Pro! And all this time I was cutting at a desk, but clearly the new way of doing things is from my trunk, so I’m ready to embrace the new paradigm and be handsome and stuff.

Yeah, I’ll miss it too. I’m typing this on the very last of the breed right now. It’s the third I’ve owned. I’m a big tall guy, and they fit very well in my hands, probably like others experience the 13 or 15 inch. I’m glad I have this for another couple of years, but I’ll miss it when its gone. Of course the new MBP is kinda cool.

I think for most people, even Pros, they went in the right direction with this.
15″ Retina MBP has higher resolution display. 1080 in the viewer has value. Two Thunderbolt ports is important. I know a number of Pros who wanted a power laptop at a more portable side.
If you’re laptop is a desktop replacement that extra Thunderbolt port goes well with the 27″ TB Cinema Display (which may need to be updated with USB3 ports).
