Just wondering, is it as some have said? The real pros have already moved away from Macs?
Either a hackintosh or a PC?
I love Macs but I wonder at this point if there will be anyone that wants a new Mac Pro in 2018?

I need something sooner - both display and 'puter. If the new more-pro iMac is decent, I likely go with that. If not... we'll see.
To be fair a hackingtosh is really easy and cheap to make... I've made one now as a stop gap - I'll definitely buy one when it comes out and I have a new Mac Pro currently but I just bought a new SSD for my PC and followed the instructions on Tonymac
boom GPU score twice as fast as my D700. Rock solid too so far.
Thanks for the list. Looks interesting.Here's a year old list of DAWs and plugins that work in Linux. You can add Reaper to this list and also Garritan Personal Orchestra 5 which has recently been reported to work in at least the Linux version of Reaper. U-he makes my favorite synth plugins and most of them are at least working in Linux as downloadable betas, available on their user forum.

Nope, my guess is the next Mac Pro will be a Mac mini terminal connected to the cloud with software to offload processing to cloud vms.
Hence, for me, the new Mac Pro would have to be/have:
- Fully Customizable: I want to be able to configure my own machine from the ground up.
- Fully upgradeable: CPU, GPU, RAM, Storage.
- Easy to upgrade and repair: Full and easy access to all components. Cheaper BTO options.
- Focused on performance: I endorse power efficiency, but I need a lot of power, nevertheless.
- CPU: Single and dual processor configurations, 8 core minimum; support for DDR4, 2400.
- GPU: nVidia. Single chip minimum - 8 GB GDDR5X.
- RAM: up to 128 GB DDR4 EEC RAM.
- Storage: Several bays (4 minimum). SSD system disc.
- Expansion: Minimum 4 slots free.
Default configurations:
Single Processor
Dual Processor
- CPU: 1 x Xeon E5 V4 1xxx
- Cores: 8
- Base frequency: 3.4 GHz
- Cache: 20 MB
- GPU: 1 x nVidia
- RAM: 16 GB Minimum
- Storage: 1 SSD, 512 GB PCIe
- CPU: 2x Xeon E5 V4 2xxx
- Cores: 8
- Base frequency: 3.2 GHz
- Cache: 25 MB
- GPU: 1 or 2 x nVidia
- RAM: 16 GB Minimum
- Storage: 1 SSD, 512 GB PCIe.
That's what everybody keeps saying, but I've never seen a computer pull out its wallet yet.If it can save me 10 hours a year it would be worth it and I would get one. It always seem strange to me when people discuss price because of you are a professional a $5000 Mac Pro should pay for it self very quickly
Ilm getting on with my gift card. After that im done.
no expiration. i know that i've been mention. It's a PSA to future gift buyers.Better hurry if they've an expiration date. You've been mentioning them for quite a while now

not sure how you can't believe this. For example I had some huge delays a few months back on a project due to a slow Mac. The time wasted was easily the cost of a new computer [time that could have been spent on other projects earning $]. .
