Apple coming back for pros !

4/4/2017

Hopefully you've all seen the Fireball news.

After 4 years of their "flat earth" policy, Apple has awakened !

New modular Mac Pro promised for sometime after 2017. Can only be good news. Means more and better GPUs coming again. (they'll keep selling the Dx00 cards as they pass their 6th birthday in December)

This is great news for everyone interested in getting work done on a Mac. Let's hope it isn't just PR and marketing and Apple wants to be a player in Post Production again.

Looking forward to the new coffee tables made of glass supported by old nMP 6,1s as they finally become truly useful.

Thanks to Nvidia for keeping heat on them. You can get more work done in a 2009 cMP with a 980Ti than on a whirling dervish 6,1, largely because Nvidia kept writing drivers, even Apple said "No Thanks."

​So, do one last update for us Nvidia, those Pascal drivers could keep many more happy until new one appears!

I think I see a tincture of light on the horizon!

I really really hope Apple is coming around, they haven't exactly been tentative to creators when it comes to their desktop line. Here's my worry;

Now that the Mac Pro might be more modular, prices will hike way the hell up. To currently charge so much for so little, you can guess they'll double maybe even triple the cost now that you can (probably) customize the MP.

It'll be more modular yes, but we will still be limited in choices, as in GPUs etc... THEY choose to work with. So it might be PR in the sense that they'll open the doors a bit but not wide enough and I hope that's not the case.
