If power users want Mac OS then they can hackintosh like most have been doing for years. In fact, actual Macs are just facebook machines if you don't want them to to get so hot they burn through your desk. If you want a powerful Mac, don't buy Apple hardware.

Apple is slowly killing off their mac devision. They only care about portables. A lot of pro users have been switching from apple, especially after the disgusting 2016 MacBook pro update. Bastard Cook doesn't seem to care since macs only make up 10% of Apple's profit pie. I'm a macfag my self and I'm truly disgusted with where this company is headed.

You're putting too much effort and thought into a post that won't be appreciated. Don't cast your pearls before swine.

On my office and several others i've visited from web developers, game developers, data labs, networking, etc are on a trend to replace desktop with laptops

this is most common on web/game/app dev studios/departments of companies

in our office about 90% of new issued computers are laptops, the remaining are desktops fitted with GPUs for video or 3D rendering

We have one framework used for datamining and running the ERP of the company

40% of our computers are macs, down from about 60% in 2015 (All designers now use surface pros and you find them sitting all over the building working on their stuff, once I found 3 guys on the UPS room because they liked the background noise the ups made)

surprisingly designs time have been lowered compared to previous years ( I believe it's due to simplistic designs becoming the norm, and designers getting their "inspiration" faster by roaming around the building)

our datasets show that time spent working have increased, some people work from their homes or during lunch hours on the cafeteria

People still have their desks so they dock their laptop to monitor/keyboard/mouse, some have never removed their laptops from the dock.

while we do have a few trashbin macs, and our "powa" users the video editors, have complained to no end about not having enough "powa" even when their desktop cost $6000+

we have plans to acquire a small render farm so they can go with standard macbooks, we've discussed going to windows but their editing programs are osX exclusive and according to them it's far better than Premiere/AfterEffects combo, I wouldn't know I'm a UX Engineer for web/app development (basically tell designers to fuck off with their 4-dimensional button animations and tell programmers why they can't have a sidebar with 173 items)

good thing we'll get thunderbolt 3 GPU docks later this year so we aren't stuck playing CS:GO or BF1 at 960x600@40fps

Well that thing is slow as shit, so discontinuing it for something faster tells us the opposite.
Well...If they make a faster one that is.

It costs twice as much as a PC that can do 2 times the benchmark performance.

Mac Pro $4000 = 75FPS
PC $2000 = 141FPS

Mac Pro was great back in 2012/2013 when Ivy Bridge-E and the Radeon 7970 were still good

Apple neglecting it for years turned it into a complete joke though. Cunts probably couldn't be bothered with it once Intel switched sockets and updated the platform for DDR4.

If they released a new one with modern guts in it I'd probably buy one.

Who isn't? That's what the Mac Pro/Power Mac line has always been up to this point, and what the current trashcan wants you to think it is, yet it's an absolutely poor excuse for one with an utterly shit case design that solves a problem that never existed and looks terrible while it does it.

>>58507216
can /v/ stop comparing the trashcan to home-built gaymer shit while trying to act like they know dick about the numbers they're regurgitating even though they can't think of a computer in terms of anything but games?

>>58507566
>games
It did CPU calculations and GPU rendering, lost on both then also lost big time in a test that just happen to have lots of gaming features.

I don't go for but muh price/performance when the perfomance is lower but way cheaper, but this is a computer that cost twice but performs 2-3 times slower so it's around 4x-6x slower for the same price.

Shut the fuck up, and get the fuck out of /g/ since you certainly don't belong here since you hate good technological hardware.

You think everything that renders something has to be gaming related, and you're retarded.
CUDA isn't a Quadro limited thing, neither is OpenGL.
Swapping Quadro drivers on Geforce cards and vice versa is a thing and the difference between them is just that one have slightly more VRAM.

The price is never justified since all it really is is a premium price for no reason besides claimed "costumer support".

Not that you'd know anyway.

>>58507680
Nvidia has deliberately gimped double-precision floating point computation on GeForce versions.

There is supposedly some firmware hack that can ungimp GeForces, but it only works on certain models by certain brands.

Also, Avid accepted bribes from Nvidia and Media Composer won't turn on GPU acceleration unless the card is Quadro.

Good thing I have Not only a Geforce (680 in the closet) that can use modded drivers, but I also have a spare Quadro K2200 I ripped from one of the replacement computers at work.
Too bad it's probably too slow for actual use today.

>>58507758
Swapping the driver won't do shit for DP floating point performance.

It's gimped at hardware firmware level.

You need deep knowledge for Nvidia GPU firmware to ungimp that shit.

>>58507773
Double precision is dealt with by having twice as fast of a card instead.
No reason to buy 8x the price for 1.6x the compute performance.
And even without Double Precision I still fool the programs that are jew'd to only work on Quadro stations.

Make apple great again

Why are people saying Apple is locked into Intel processors because of Thunderbolt?

Apple never gave shit about any existing user accessory continuing to work with new Macs.

If AMD Zen does in fact have much better performance than Intel offerings, it gives Apple perfect excuse to abandon Thunderbolt, force Mactoddlers to buy the high-end storage accessories all over again (now w/ USB-C 3.1), and blame it all on big bad meanie Intel.

perhaps because it was stupid.

Real-time 3D performance isn't really the target application of the mac pro. Video encoding fps and 3D rendering times would be better comparison points. Not that it'd shine in those benchmarks anyway with its outdated as fuck CPU.

>>58510612
When do zen come out so you all finally stop going on about how it will beat intel?

Protip: It's only happening at the $200 price point, and only at performance per dollar.

The Mac Pro has a really small market (actual professionals working with 3D and video) but should still continue to exist.
They need to make a Mac Mini Pro for other "Pro's" like for example Youtubers that think they need a Mac Pro to edit a video once in a blue moon.

>The Mac Pro has a really small market (actual professionals working with 3D and video) but should still continue to exist.
You mean *had*, most editors dumped the Mac way back when Final Cut support was axed for that gay shit FCPX, and the rest likely left when they saw the 2013 MP and realized it had less than their current tricked-out cheese graters.
>These two (caseyneistat and MKBHD) own a Mac Pro, but i don't know why?

The iMac has a glossy screen that some Pro's don't really like, the MacBook Pro is overpriced for the specs and you're paying for a laptop screen you don't really need.

Ideally they should just put the same specs of the most powerful iMac (with the updated version coming this year) into a Mac Mini Pro, basically the same thing but just add your own peripherals and that's it.
Also they should make the Apple mouses, keyboards and monitors cheaper when you buy them with a Mac Mini.

>>58506458

Hi applefag bros. I have been using an iMac 24" since 2007 and a macbook pro 2008 until last month, after the iMac GPU failed i started looking for a new iMac and i saw the shit they made so i finally switched to thinkpad+custom workstation.

>>58511375
That'd be nice, especially if it got a proper gpu and not some mobile bullshit

A 6700/7700 (or the xeon equivalent) with a pile of ram and something like an rx480 or geforce 1060 would serve my needs pretty well (though I want more of course so I don't need to use windows for everything)

desu, the trash can wouldn't have been that bad if it shipped with an SFP+/QSFP port.

Local storage arrays are a joke in serious professional content farms, and it's retarded that you'd have to buy an external Thunderbolt -> PCIe AIB enclosure with a NIC and a 120V power cord just to get 10GbE or better.

But Thunderbolt wouldn't been virtual DOA if buyers weren't being coerced into buying worthless external drives in bulk.

I feel like Apple's management is taken aback by the backlash on the recent MBP refresh.

Will they listen, or just accelerate killing of Mac?

>/g/ bitches that technology barely moved in the last years

>>58507566
Apple's computers have been standard x86 hardware for over ten years now, they're extremely overpriced.

>>58516531
One tech that actually improved dramatically is the GPU, especially in the high-end side.

Why hasn't Apple updated Mac Pro to use newer GPUs? Why is Mac Pro still stuck with GPUs from four years ago?

>they just trashed their trashcan
god wills it

>>58516553
Probably because the current ones are still fine for what it's used and the slight improvement wouldn't be worth a refresh. Apple is more Jewish than Israel and really care about their little margins, hence they went with AMD trash in the first place and AMD didn't even make notable progress in pro sector since it launched.

The trashcan is still perfectly fine for the tasks it was intended to do, just the price is a joke due the stuff getting cheaper, but then again, the people needing one, don't look at something as mundane as prices, so there is NO reason for Applel to do anything.

>>58510852
>>These two (caseyneistat and MKBHD) own a Mac Pro, but i don't know why?
Casey Neistat owns a Mac Pro, but he hates it. He recently told in a video that the Mac Pro has two functions left at his office:
1) Playing movies.
2) File management.

He prefers to do all of his actual work on his MacBook Pro (the new one, which he's not too hot on since dongles). He really loved the non-Touch Bar Retina MacBook Pro though.

Mac is a fucking joke.

Apple can't even develop their own shit on a Mac.

>>58516721
Almost like there are different systems for different needs. The same HP workstations were probably designed on macOS and manufactured in a factory running Windows.

>Apple is slowly killing off their mac devision.
This argument has never made any sense to me. Everything Apple needs to design any iPhone, iPad or iOS version is on the Macs. The CAD software is on the Mac, Photoshop is on the Mac, Xcode is on the Mac, fucking everything is on the Mac. There is no way Apple could actually kill off the Mac lineup and still continue to develop their products.

I love the Mac Pro, but what they did to it in terms of performance is unacceptable. The old Mac Pro's case is the best case that has ever existed: efficient swapping of internals, plexi-glass windows to inspect the machine if something is going wrong and the air vents, oh ma gawd

He says in the video that his fully specced out Mac Pro is bad and it's the worst machine he has ever owned, but gives no reason why.
A fully specced out Mac Pro outperforms the fully specced out 15" MacBook Pro.

He obviously doesn't know what he's doing or need the power of a Mac Pro and it looks like he bought the Mac Pro in the fist place because he's a complete idiot and want's to burn his money.

I imagine it's about reliability. I remember Gavin Free (of Slow-mo Guys fame) saying that his trashcan Mac Pro is crashy and suffers from random slow-downs.

>>58517804
Disagreed,
The Mac Mini is a great machine and they'll pump one out this or next year. The 2014 one can handle basic intermediate use just fine, since that's what it's built for

>>58517967
For the same reason there is a MacBook Pro 15" with quad-core i7 and mobile dGPU, because some people need the extra power.
And don't want the other options Apple has, see >>58511375

The only Internet-famous person that I know of who has praised the Mac Pro is Garry's Mod/Rust developer Garry Newman. But he runs Windows on it full time and is kind of taking the piss with the machine.

>>58518063
They both serve completely different markets, rMBP is Applels premium laptop, Mac Mini is as the name suggests, a desktop solution for poorfags who still need macOS. Putting better hardware into it would price these people out. (Let's not pretend Applel would tolerate lower margins)

It's a decent idea for the end user but would probably cannibalize their margins and iMac sales. Though the name sounds almost paradoxical.

A lot of people just don't like having the reflection, even in good conditions you can still see it.
I've had both glossy and matte, and don't wan't a glossy display again, unless i'm forced to on a MacBook Pro.

Apple should give people a iMac with matte option or better yet make the Mac Mini Pro and let people pick their own monitor.
The LG UltraFine 5K should have the same display they'll put in the next iMac, and it still has that problem.

Aren't the new MacBook Pro screens kind of matte? Like, they're not as reflective as they used to be when you didn't spec for the matte display. Or am I completely making that up?

>>58518849
Think all the Retina screens got anti reflective coating, they are still pretty reflective when not used but the brightness makes easy to work on them even against direct sunlight.

I imagine the Touch Bar Pros are even better then, since they seemingly got a big brightness bump.

My OS (like windows 7) should just work out of the box and have as little bullshit attached as possible.

It's just a retarded comparison. That is, unless the Mac Pro (2012) actually includes a professional-grade DAC and a surge protector inside the case.

>>58519970
>Aren't Apple products made in China?

Yes they're all designed in the USA and made in China.
Except for the Mac Pro which is designed and assembled in the USA, but they do get the parts from elsewhere.

>>58520244
The DAC is excessive yes.

But large amounts of hard drive space is pretty much expected for workstation machines. The Mac Pro's powersupply (like any PC's power supply) was internal and does have surge protection if your outlet's surge protector didn't work or something.

the Mac pro had a lot of extra integrated features on its i/o panel including multiple different ports for what ever you might need. Unlike the new mac pro which doesn't have anything beyond thunderbolt, 2 ethernets and a few other things, the old mac pro had loads of versatility to it. It was also expandable aswell.
