    @Pechente i'm working with an efi-x solution for years. in professional use (main income) and very reliable ;)

    David Pogue says his sources say a new Mac Pro desktop is coming. He is well connected. The thing is: Apple is too late. People already moved to Avid/Adobe and now they are also moving to a PC with Windows running on it. The good thing is that Adobe offers the Creative Cloud with both Windows/Mac download so you can always switch back in the future. I think the most lacking aspect are the GPUs, on a PC you can get much better performance for a cheaper price.

    I do love my iMac though and do not see a reason switching personally.

    This is disappointing. I was naively hoping for a substantial Mac Pro update. I do like Apple design and reliability, but the time to go PC may finally have come. I've already switched to Premiere, so I really have no reason to stay on Mac any longer.

    @gameb

    As PC. Do Hackintoch is you want and can. I just do not know the reason.

  • gamebgameb

    @Vitaly_Kiselev as Hackintosh?

  • dirquedirque

    @Penchante Apple usually refreshes imacs in August/September for the School year season.

    My choice all the time is clear, Thinkpad :-) If you plan to use it for editing get one with i7 and NVidia card. Aftert this you can swap HHD and/or RAM if you wish.

    IF you need Thunderbolt and maximum performance for dollar get this

    Any confirmation the 17" being discontinued? OP is the only place I've seen this. Sometimes they wait a couple of months before announcing a 17".

    @Vitaliy_Kiselev Are you really saying Apple has no (enough) margin over iMacs/MacPros/MacMinis?

    @ahbleza It's disappointing (and deserving blame) the fact that Apple call them "new", but they're still very capable machines and now they're cheaper.

    IMO we should expect something really new in 2013, like a sort of "Pro-MacMini". Big workstations are gonna die, at least according to Apple, because of (or thanks to) TB, just time is not yet ripe...

    @Pechente: I would wait if you have a machine currently that will keep you a float. New AppleTV, IPhone5, Imacs, MacMini soon. With this announcement, i'm wondering if is should go with a new MBP and wait till Imac is 4K in a couple years since i too was looking for Imac. I'm really happy with MBP and this machine has good power with that new display......hmm. I will guess new Imacs within the next few months.

    More expensive computers probably reflects a marketing strategy. At a time when fewer people are tempted to buy a computer this year, the prestige market may be a safer target.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Yeah it's sad to see that less and less people are interested in a desktop computer :/

    This is not true. Desktops are doing very good. Just PC ones have very thin margins :-) Read - you get top performance for small dollar.

    I was already thinking about building a hackintosh but I'm always reading that they still aren't stable enough to be used as a reliable production machine

    This is very strange statement.

    I was already thinking about building a hackintosh but I'm always reading that they still aren't stable enough to be used as a reliable production machine and in the end stability is one of the main factors for me to get a Mac. Also, I think that shortly after a refresh the iMac offer quite good value for the money.

    @Pechente

    Just make Hackintoch :-)

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Desktops are not interesting for Apple.

    Their strategy in last years is simple - keep the margin.

  • PechentePechente

    I'm quite disappointed there is no new iMac since I already saved up for one. Anyone got a clue when these might see a refresh?

  • HallvallaHallvalla

    That new MBP with retina display looks like an amazing little computer.

  • ahblezaahbleza

    @B3Guy There is a difference between Mac Pro (towers) and the MacBook Pro (laptop.)

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Most important thing here is screen resolution :-) Generally, Apple had no other way to make some clear to see difference.

  • B3GuyB3Guy

    What do you mean? there are two new Mac Pros. The Old-style ones and the solid state retina ones. The retina one is awesome as a piece of tech but insanely spendy.

  • ahblezaahbleza

    Frankly, the "new" Mac Pro is disappointing. It's like giving a lame horse a fresh grooming before shooting it in the head. I can't see it lasting beyond a year -- they must have some inventory to clear.

    @pvjames "I like the new MBP w/Retina" +1

    Not so keen on the £1800 price tag!
