March 8th event announced!

[Cmaier]

THey haven’t said much about the display yet.

 

[Arkitect]

Would love to upgrade for my music and photography but it's more likely than not that it will be out of my price range.

Yeah… they're keeping that surprise for last…

 

[quagmire]

Gets the $1000 Pro Stand.....

Wish the display was mini-LED but mini-LED is still too expensive I guess.

 

[Cmaier]

Oh! Didn’t guess it would have a camera

 

[Deleted member 215]

Camera and audio very nice. The XDR display doesn’t have that.

 

[Arkitect]

I feel this is going to be POA.

 

[Cmaier]

black trackpad is nice

 

[Cmaier]

$3999 minimum? Yikes.

 

[Arkitect]

Aaaaaargh!

Yeah, alas. Too rich for my bank account.

 

[Eric]

Still with 64GB minimum on their new biggest baddest computer, WTF Apple!

That said, looks like a great system but still too much for my taste.

 

[Cmaier]

Imagine what the M1 Mac Pro will cost.

Was that RAM or storage? I missed it.

Memory (as I thought I saw it).

 

[Cmaier]

Memory (as I thought I saw it).

64GB RAM paired with an M1 Max seems fine.

 

[Eric]

IMO it was underwhelming but in their defense it's hard to come up with something radically new and innovative when you're on an annual cycle like this. Incremental updates it is.

 

[Arkitect]

Well, I'm going to have a little lie down (or a stiff drink!).

For now my Mac Mini 2018 and 27" Apple LED Display 2010 will have to do!

 

[quagmire]

$400 for the Pro like stand.....

 

[Eric]

64GB RAM paired with an M1 Max seems fine.

My biggest issue with it is the charge point, even looking back 3 or 4 years that was a pretty small amount and memory prices are still pretty cheap. There's no reason they can't make the base 128 in today's market.

 

[DT]

$2K for the Max model seems reasonable, heck, I was speculating more with Pro (basing it off the MBP 14" price model), a loaded I7 based Mini would be in the same price range.

What was the memory for the $2K Max model? 32GB? And is that with the full 32-core GPU?

When we were discussing the Studio, I mentioned fans and ductwork would take up a good bit of the space, and it does. Like @Cmaier pointed out, big volume at low speeds (so quiet).

OK, info is up!
