Good, but the recover port is gone

seeing this series of videos, and the iMac Pro fiasco from tech reviewer Linus –
well, it ruins all anticipation I may have about any new 2019 or 2020 Mac Pro. The dream of the Mac Pro (at least in my eyes) is an open platform box. They will make a great computer, and “we” can go in and add anything we want – more graphics cards, more RAM, different types of drives (SSD, M.2 SATA, etc.), 10G cards, expansion cards from companies like AVID, Matrox, Blackmagic, AJA, etc. But it appears that within a relatively short period of time, Apple has determined that for it’s business model – they want ANYTHING but this to happen. They want to be as far away from the model of the old Mac Pro Cheesegrater design as possible. That’s just the impression I get, and that’s sad. Maybe I will be wrong. When a company (I don’t care if it’s a car company, or a computer company) says “just use our stuff, stop this nonsense with these other products that we don’t sell, and you will have no problems” – well, that’s just not cool anymore. That applies to NO model of any industry that I perceive as cool – be it audio, graphics, video, cars, music, etc.

Here’s a video by the guy who originally discovered the thermal issue. Nice concise comparison of the competing PC options, too.

Remember that the Mac Pro tower was developed in the same era at Apple as Final Cut Pro “legacy”. I think that mindset has changed. We see it in all current Macs, as well as with software like FCPX. Think of “universal” TB3/USB-C connectors a bit like FCPXML. One way in/out of the tool and cover the rest (which a small minority of owners need) with add-ons. I would be amazed if a 2019 MacPro (?) would deviate from this direction.

Jobs wanted the Apple 1 to be a sealed box and it was only because of Woz that it wasn’t. Selling an untinkerable ‘computing appliance’ has always been Jobs’ goal (and therefore Apple’s goal). I’d imagine the next MP will have much more in common with the Trashcan than with the Cheesegrater

So what you’re saying is that by purchasing two iMac Pros and the QNAP NAS we didn’t make a huge miscalculation on the yet undeveloped Mac Pro that we are all longing for?

So far the iMac Pros are performing pretty flawlessly….now if only Adobe’s software would.

Hopefully they won’t step in that particular cow pie again…
