OxyKon Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Looks pretty impressive, very weird design, although i only glanced at it quickly i didn't happen to see a cd drive anywhere Quote
russell Posted June 10, 2013 Author Posted June 10, 2013 Looks pretty impressive, very weird design, although i only glanced at it quickly i didn't happen to see a cd drive anywherethink you have to go external if you wanna use those old things I wonder if you'll be able to pick older tower models up cheaper now.

OxyKon Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Won't worry me for a while, already have a decent Mac Pro which just recently upgraded, but I dare say spare parts will become cheaper Quote
GREMM1S Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Looks pretty stupid tbh, will be interested to see the pricing comparison performance wise with custom pc's. Quote
russell Posted June 11, 2013 Author Posted June 11, 2013 Looks pretty stupid tbhwhy stupid? certainly looks different to any other desktop computer. Dunno why it's stupid though. Has some very high specs. Quote
Cupe Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 How is a vertical tube supposed to fit neatly on a desk? Quote

SolDios Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Spec's are nice, but apple seems to be doing away with upgradeability these days, I really doubt you can change those graphics cards ect... Not a fan of the tube design.you're a wizzzzzard harry.from an aestheic look, in order for it to be as practical as possible, you will need to have the usb ect facing the front, which means your going to have a big power cable coming out the front of it ect, which will look silly. Also the same applys to the ethernetTL;DRNice spec's, wish it could be upgraded better down the line, design looks silly. Quote

SolDios Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 all that just to plug in a usb, also having to pull the power cord round with it. Quote
russell Posted June 11, 2013 Author Posted June 11, 2013 all that just to plug in a usb, also having to pull the power cord round with it.when you put it like that..... Quote
Mitch Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 @all uneducated comments above-you can still ugprade storage, graphics, memory etc, they are all on pcie slots inside the case, just don't be noob @ pulling it apart-extra USB / thunderbolt ports are on the apple monitors -If you do need to plug something into the back of it, it spins around (and relatively easy too, due to its circular nature. You also won't damage the storage drive inside the mac as it is all flash based.-If you feel the need for extra storage, you can get a whole storage array that plugs in via thunderbolt, use a NAS, usb3/thunderbolt external hdd.Don't hate on innovation. If they didn't change much and just did a spec bump, people would be just an unimpressed. Quote
Tomy Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 looks sick. can't wait to see what the pricing will be. hope it comes before our dollar is completely fucked Quote
eggssell Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 like apple ever cared about our dollarhigh or low they always charge aussies a premium. i suggest bending over and have plenty of lube ready Quote
Kodiak Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 like apple ever cared about our dollarhigh or low they always charge aussies a premium. i suggest bending over and have plenty of lube readyLast lot of iPhones and ipads were sold here cheaper due to the Aussie dollar. Was only marginal but still was cheaper here than in the states. Quote
eggssell Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Well i know i looked at macbook pros last july (or july before that) and we were def paying more than in singapore. and they give you soo many freebies there. the price was still way over the top for me! Quote
