New Mac Pro rumor – is this a joke?

[Oliver Peters]

If it’s true, then it’s kind of in line with what many of us expected. The Cube lives!

Only available as a rental for $100/mo and you can upgrade to a version with new GPUs whenever they become available.

I would “subscribe” to a well-equipped workstation at that price. That’d be a great value.

Do they offer a loyalty buyout program?

I’d much rather spend 100 times the price to keep dead hardware around for a few more years past its useful life.

Yes, that would be the justification for a lease business model for that “locked box” design. Replace with the new “company car” every couple of years.

I’m not giving it any merit. Until we get multiple reports with similar specs, I think everyone’s speculation is equally dodgy. And considering how relatively few hands have been on this thing, I think Apple’s ability to keep things under wraps is substantially higher than the average Apple product.

So getting excited/upset about these rumours is folly.

If you’ve been following my posts you’ve seen me bash some of the major sites for their predictions and assumptions that never really seem more than guesses and questions. After having been on the phone with Apple myself I now realize the frustration some of these journalists encounter. That being said this post is not a guess or an assumption. I actually have a source or two that has some credibility.

Here is what I’ve been told about the new Mac Pro.

– It will be heavily reliant on Thunderbolt.
– There will be no internal expandability.
– It will have support for Dual GPU’s with three monitor support right out of the box.
– No FW800 or Optical drive
– It will be released in the fall
– It will be a completely new design

My guess is that’s the origin of the rumor…
