    The $2999 model goes from 4 Xeon CPU cores to 6, and from dual AMD G300 GPUs to dual G500 GPUs. The $3999 model goes from 6 CPU cores to 8, and from dual D500 GPUs to dual D800 GPUs. Unfortunately neither USB-C nor Thunderbolt 3.

    A German colleague had a pretty nice idea a while back. I say Apple hires him. 😛

    Though I don’t get what the 4x Tbo 2 ports are all about… that clearly is not likely to happen.

    “ecosystem” is another name for digital hoarding — storage storage storage — the GigE is still fantastic, and it has 2 of ’em–plus a smart little app called Time Machine — all these iPhones backing up, we have 4 at my house, plus 3 macs, plus an iPad — and my kids are only 7 (twins) — iTunes music libraries and other stuff.

    I saw that in the article, too. I presume G should be D and was a typo in the original article. Or am I missing something?

    I completely agree! More connections, more expandability – without violating the Apple design ethos.

    Yupp. Must have been thinking too much about the VRAM or (god forbid) GForce?. ☺
