How do you know he isn't into CAD/modelling/scientific calculations, professional video editing? -
Yeah, just load up your copy of Final Cut Pro on your Dell laptop, you nonces. -

Registered 15 years agoI can pretty much guarantee no hipster is going to buy this. It's like living in a shit hole, but driving the latest M5: it's because you can't take your home to town.
Gaming is certainly not the purpose of the device and buying it for that is certainly a silly thing to do. Especially as OS X is firmly in the shit-for-games land. There really are other uses for a computer than games and writing text. -

Registered 17 years agoGuys. They're both trolls or (heh) morons so can we try to just ignore them? I know it's tempting to respond, but this thread will get trashed even more. And I want my link to the manufacturing video! -
German technology site heise.de, not exactly known for being Apple fanboys, did some number juggling today and came to the conclusion that you're bit of a cluless idiot if you really think the Pro is somehow particularly overpriced compared to the competition.
I wouldn't have an idea, I am just paraphrasing, so don't blame me. -

Well worth paying a premium for compared to a Windows box. That you'll be emulating anyway in Mac OS. It all makes sense.
LOOK AT HOW FUCKING COOL THAT CYLINDER LOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!! -

I certainly have no need for a desktop that expensive / powerful. -

I use ANSYS, Zemax, 3D Studio. These are leading products in corresponding areas, Windows only

Honestly, I'm sure PCs can do the job just great. Maybe better. But there's a supreme irony to people who get their knickers in a twist about Apple fanboys, when they are themselves acting like the worst kind of fanboys. -

Registered 17 years agoOh I give up..
ANSYS is available on Linux too, so you're wrong about it being Windows only, and which also means it could be "trivially" ported to OSX if anyone cared to. Anyway, who gives a fuck? There are plenty of professionals using macs for professional work in all of the fields you listed... So please stop trolling the thread you fucking knobber?
/goes to make dinner. -
Presumably now that Mac have released an (apparently) amazing top end pro machine again, some top end software will come out for it. -

If you are referring to cinema displays, theres a dell equivalent that I buy for work that are just as good, matte (HOORAY!) finish and have vga, dvi, hdmi and display port.

£400, which is very reasonable. -

You don't buy such PC, you assemble it yourself.
No worries, you can just emulate Windows in Mac OS so you can use those 99% of programs.
First you buy big expensive case, because this PC most likely will run 24/7 and need good cooling. Then you buy usual fast memory, not stupid ECC. ECC is only good for servers
Then you buy minimum a couple of 2 TB HDD and put them in RAID 1 (or four HDD in RAID 1-0 configuration). Tiny SSD won't do any good
If you don't run renders like Maya/3DS, don't bother with pro Open GL video at all
Otherwise you will waste a lot of money on absolutely useles stuff -
Yeah, I was. I went to this company that design and make garden sheds and the guy was using a 26" cinema display. I think it was 26" anyway.
Stunning.
I'll check out the Dell though, cheers. -

Two more things
1. It looks like the Death Star when the cover is off
2. How the fuck do you turn it on?
