Would you say the keyboard in this link is silver or space grey?

If it's the current one being sold on apple.com it's silver. I have both the white and black ones, and the aluminum is the same color.

Silver. No TouchID keyboards are Space Grey.

The only Space Grey Magic Keyboard shipped with the iMac Pro.
 
It's been forever and a half since I last visited! There's technically 3 macs in this picture, but 2 are vaguely recognizable grey rectangles on the far right. The Mac Pro runs my side screens and either my PC or one of the Mac laptops drives the middle screen. I've been a bit too busy to do a nice staged picture, but I rather like this one! In fact, I upgraded that PC to have a 7800x3d sometime after taking this. The old 9700k hardware became part of my sim racing machine. :) The guitar is.. not there for show, I just keep it handy to remind myself to practice it nightly. I always wanted to learn to play music, and it's been a lot of fun!

I still love seeing what everyone's doing here! I'm glad Apple's making displays again, too.
 
Here's my current setup! Currently rocking my 16" 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Max, and paired to that is my Studio Display which has just been a gorgeous display to use!

Love this setup. Very warm and tidy. Can you share what cables you use connect to the monitor and how everything's so tidy.

PS is it always this tidy??? ;)
 
My new Mac Pro 8.1 came in and really excited to see what the M2 Ultra chip can do! I pretty much maxed it out minus the 8TB option SSD (Went with 4TB instead.)

Before any of you ask or wonder; no I’m not going to keep the 7.1 in my desk setup, I was mainly just transferring everything over and thought it was worth a “shot”. 😅

Love this look... what are the panels behind your screens? Are they decorative or acoustic?

Off on a tangent here, but the discussion of keyboards reminded me... does anyone have a source for the WIRED Apple Keyboard with the keypad (and 2 built-in USB ports)? In my humble opinion, that was the most perfect keyboard that I have ever used...the keys just felt right, they had the exact proper travel, and the thing was rock solid... it's finally wearing out and in dire need of replacement.

Mine recently died, and I bought another one off of Craigslist. I love them so much!
 
Anytime 😎 those two weeks must have been tuff, iPad okay , Butt No Phone 😫 you can also check out the Logitech folio or combo touch. They turn your iPad in to a laptop 💻
it was VERY ROUGH! Especially since the mobile line was suspended that effectively can kill iMessage if not done properly. The worse is FaceTime does not allow receiving nor making external calls to outside of registered iMessage numbers
 
Added a 12.9-inch iPad Pro to my setup - makes a great 2nd monitor for the M2 Mac mini. It's an M1 iPad from the Apple Refurb Store - nearly £400 less than the current M2 model! That leaves my iPad mini as my portable iPad alongside my M1 MBA and iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Nice purchase and fully enjoy it.

I'm unsure your needs for the M2 Mac Pro but I had read somewhere that the PCIe slots all cannot get full power when used. Something of a limitation of the architecture yet I'm not certain, or I'm mistaken.

From the looks of the architecture and sales for this computer this 'may' be THE last Mac Pro or full out expandable tower that Apple ever makes?!

Let's hope not, and that it gets M3, M4, Mx updates to the specs in the future.
PS: I'm still wondering if the need for the tall design is needed anymore?
