According to Cnet , Mac Pro 2013 model will have the highest cost up to $ 4,755 (nearly 100 million). This is only calculated based on the hardware, not including other expenses that Apple left out in the manufacturing process.

One other important factor affecting the price of the Mac Pro 2013 where production. The market research firm said products labeled "Made In USA" will be higher than the production model and assembled in other countries by the number of orders that do not cost too much to expensive components. Andrew Rassweiler, senior director of IHS iSuppli, said in the array produce smaller computer devices such as phones, superior production costs by 10 to 20 USD has been considered as an alarm.

Accept that how it's been designed seems to be more for "normal" customers rather than real professionals who probably couldn't care less how it looks and would rather have a machine that is more expandable and easily upgradeable... and not something with (what I'm assuming) is less than optimal cooling.

Some rigs on here are pretty crazy though. Of course it's cheaper to build vs buy prebuilt though!

Wait so 5K with 12 Core CPU and 2x w9000? I call that a good deal.

(So think of the awesomeness that a dual socket would bring: 24 cores...

it is an Ivy Xeon.
And they're E5 so there will be a 4P board that supports them and once the MC gets a refresh there will be 15c/30t procs for 8P

The price point and performance requirements make it a narrow market, but the design of it has to be one of the best designs ive seen out of a desktop in years. Its such a small form factor, and its freaking gorgeous. Call it a trashcan or r2d2, but this is something that will sit on everyone's desk and not the floor and be a conversation piece for a couple years. Its literally the most innovation apple has done in years, and that include the original ipod touch and iphone releases. If they keep this up they will be moving back up.

PS. I hate apple as a company, and think that almost every apple product is a joke with exception to the unibody macbooks (retina,pro,air) and new mac pro.

Reread my post, im not saying those devices are innovative (the exception of the mac pro). I know the unibody macbook line has design ties to their macbook g4, however I was trying to state that the unibody macbook line is one of the best overall laptops. Great trackpad, great keyboard, good screen, great battery life, durable, feels light. If the apple premium wasnt so high, and windows had better support, I would buy one. Meanwhile their other products seem lackluster to me.

"According to Cnet"

This is a rumour, not news.

No.

The most expensive one you can configure is $3,449. (CPU from 2.7 GHz quad-core i7 to 2.8 GHz i7 quad-core and 512 GB SSD to 728 GB SSD)

The most expensive you can get it is $8,324, but it includes a USB DVD drive, 2560x1440 27" monitor, a ton of software, extended AppleCare, One-to-One membership for a year, thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, thunderbolt to firewire adapter, mini displayport to VGA adapter, mini displayport to DVI adapter, mini displayport to dual-link DVI adapter, an extra 85w power adapter, MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter, 2 metre Thunderbolt Cable, 12 TB external storage, 3 TB wifi external HDD, Apple TV and a Epson Expression Premium XP-600 printer.

Sure it is innovative but mostly based on experience they are one of the few companies that actually re-invent things and make them work somehow.

Ah yes. you're right. Although I don't see a 12 core part listed on intel's site. Guess this is a unreleased model. Interesting.

I don't really get you standpoint on this. Are you suggesting it's a bad thing to improve upon your own designs? Or that they have done little innovative on the named products?
If you state that the step between the Newton and the iPhone is to small to be innovative, what do you call innovative in the world of tech?

But I do agree on your insight that the market will accept the new Mac Pro better then they did the G4 Cube in 2000

(Also since the main objective against it was it didn't had the same power the full size PowerMac, but did carry the same price.)

It is part of their EP update though the parts are already available at least to me that is.

I say it is a good thing to actually innovate instead of making a product worse or the same as most companies do.

anyone who buys that mainly for gaming, considering the added cost of all that pro hardware, is of questionable sanity
