You also don’t have to imagine it only for high-end-pro machines. You don’t have to imagine that, this already exists and you can buy it today….just not from Apple (hint, razor core) Very easy to add/remove hardware, and a very incremental path to upgrade.īut then, we’re not quite there IMO as those external interfaces are still evolving.

No need to open, no screws and connectors that are thought for users, no system assemblers.

There is quite a bit of difference between this and just the usual “modular PC” like the cheese grater mac pro was. You could even use the functional parts of the computer if you fancy. A failure on the GPU will allow you to take it off and take it to servicing. Just imagine stacking something like a mac mini that provides basic processor + memory and boot drive with your choice of GPU and maybe a set of disks/external storage. Each module would be able to approach in its own way power consumption (and heat). This *must* include a way to have GPUs external without compromising any performance. Modular without the need to “open” a main module to fit the others in.īut then, you need a very capable external connector. As external connections improve (and Apple has been an early adopter in many high performance external connectors) is going to be the way to go. I do think that the idea behind the trashcan was not that bad, but the technology is not there yet and maybe the actual form factor wasn’t that good either.īut going for external expandability is the way to go in my opinion. Time to “think different”? We’ve now set the bar so high, that we can’t even use the word “think”. This is a piece of antiquity that came from the typewriter era simply because nobody wanted to innovate. If at anytime the J doesn’t perform as we designed it, send it back to us, and we’ll make it right so that you can keep on using J for 2 years or even more. But you won’t be throwing the J away, it’s got our exclusive 2 year technology guarantee. It’s thin design means our heavy duty aluminum encasement can easily stack anywhere, including a landfill.

By removing this non-green technology, J becomes the first friendly environmental computer. The days of an outdated high resolution computer screen are over. J-plug will work with all of your J devices including the upcoming jPhone and jAblet. And no, we are not reintroducing Mag Lock, but rather a newer, even better connector. We’ve taken out the waste to deliver the ultimate experience. Unlike competitors which are bogged down with heavy, power hungry needless accessories. With J you will get the ultimate in mobilized assistance.

The next generation in portable computing. Until we get it – and that may still be 2 years away – the new Mac Pro is vapourware. Personally, I’m still very cautious, because in the end, all we got yesterday was a more official version of Tim Cook’s endless “we’ve got great stuff in the pipeline, trust us!” meme that’s been going on for a few years now.

In addition, Apple is said to be exploring additional Retina MacBook Pro models without the Touch Bar, and other pro-oriented features, such as hooking an iPad Pro up to a Mac to use it as a Cintiq-like device.Īll in all, there is definitely excitement in the air regarding professional Mac use, and to be honest – that’s been a while. Combined with the problems surrounding the LG UltraFine 5K display and the constant negativity from professional Apple users, the company decided to double down on professional users.Īs Apple announced, we’ll be getting a new Mac Pro and an iMac Pro as a result.

This response to the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar took Apple completely by surprise. What made Apple do a 180? Well, after the announcement of the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, orders for refurbished “old” MacBook Pros supposedly went through the roof, and after the initial batch of reviews came out, they shot up even higher. I have no idea how long it takes to develop a new computer like a Mac Pro, but I think we can expect the new Mac Pro late 2018 at the earliest, but most likely it won’t be until early 2019 before it ships. The decision to go ahead and develop a modular Mac Pro replacement seems to have been made only in recent months, with development starting only a few weeks ago, which makes it clear why Apple said it won’t ship this year. On a related note, here’s some interesting tidbits and nuggets I’ve picked up regarding the new Mac Pro from people and sources who know their stuff. In the light of this news, I thought it would be interesting to look back a model, to the “cheese grater” Mac Pros Apple sold from 2006 until 2013. Apple has promised a new “modular” Mac Pro for sometime after 2017. As we learned this week, the 2013 trash can Mac Pro is going to… Well… The trash can.
