Yup. Also the coolest demo website evah!
Don't know what it is.... but I want one
Hmm, have we not been there before with small form, uber cooling and different design? 😉

Is it any good for storing bread in though?
It looks to be taking some design queues from the Xi3 aka Steam Box http://xi3.com/
Plus near to its release it might be chance to pick up a relative bargain out of the current Mac Pro range
hmmm where's the Mac TV screen
Ill probably get one as long as its not silly money, would like to see thunderbolt drives/enclosures come down a bit in price. Should make short work of editing HD with no proxies (no 4k for me yet) and the GPU's will speed up image processing in capture1 and Phocus which rely heavily on the GPU.
Forget the Mac Pro, iOS now has automatic app updates! wooooooo!!!
Did they put Dyson cyclone vacuum cleaner in a box? 😆
I want one ... 
'needs a ring pull.

Yup, we sure have, the logical development of the Cube. Which was a great little computer, we had one in the studio at my previous employer, and one of the directors still has it at home.
I love my Mini, it sits under one corner of my telly like it was made to fit. Wouldn't mind another couple of Tb of storage, but I can live with the 1.1 it's got.
The new Mac Pro does look very SF, but already the forum inhabitants are calling it rubbish because its expandability is through external Thunderbolt peripherals, rather than internal.
Six ports, each capable of running six daisy-chained devices, must mean greater flexibility, surely?
It's just a computer, its just a computer, its just a computer...
Nope, it's not working!
Anyone want to buy my soul? I need one of these in my life!
envy is a terrible thing....
Looks like a wastepaper basket, and I want it with every ounce of my being! Plenty of power for my STW forum needs...
Could you whack the fan up to full, and hover a beach ball above it?
Only then am I in....

Beautiful machine on it's own. In reality a mess of external devices and miles of cables for every device. In addition to looking out of place with current line of brushed aluminium devices...
Looks cool on display. Probably not so much once there are over 9,000 wires hanging out the back.
Great hardware spec. Can you run Windows 7 on it?

Expensive way of running windows....

I'm planning on running a Windows Mobile hack I downloaded from the Pirate Bay.
Im guessing for the price of that jet powered camping toilet, I could build some kind of uber domestic blade server based monster 🙂
I now have 2 children to sell, anyone want to buy them ?
and by the look of it the heat comes out of the top so rather than gently warming your toes it will blow hot air under the desk leaving you with beaty swallocks 🙂
In addition to looking out of place with current line of brushed aluminium devices...
The 'current' brushed aluminium devices have been around for a decade (edit - actually 12 years). I think its a fair guess that this is the first of the not-brushed-aluminium devices and within a year or so will have plenty of company.
🙁
Ive just bought my first brushed aluminium device
Why you early adopter you
Want.
While we're here, what do we think about iOS 7 (or did I miss another thread?)?
http://www.apple.com/ios/ios7/
Not entirely convinced by what I've seen but we'll see.

No idea where they are getting their ideas from

Why do you open every single Apple thread on here just to be a hater? It's a bit sad really.
They don't even look vaguely similar anyway. 😕
I'm sure it's an amazing beast, but the wastepaper basket look doesn't entirely convince.
iOS jailbreak apps, by the looks of it.No idea where they are getting their ideas from
I've got a dev account so downloaded ios7 onto my iPhone 5. It's - different...
I like some aspects and not others. Totally new direction and will take a while for the rough edges to wear off, that's for sure.

That's just caused more fuss in the studio than a delivery of skinny decaff, fair trade lattes's!
I NEED ONE!
It is very pretty, and I do like the inbuilt CIA monitoring port. 😕
What sort of work do you need to do that means you need a Mac Pro rather than an Imac these days? I would have thought modern Imacs must be powerful enough for the vast majority of even the most graphic hungry users.

Came to see what all the fuss was about 🙂
Be interesting to hear how quiet it actually is, but it's good to see Apple doing something a bit different.

Video editing and 3D graphics I'd imagine.
Nice looking thing. Wholly impractical, but it looks nice.

It's the functionality, besides that's a Samsung skin, the current android default has a flatter look that apples new design looks closer to.
Just slightly ironic coming from a copy so fond of petty litigation over minor feature similarities 🙂

I guess - and I suppose applications that need specific screens rather than an all-in-one solution.
I wasn't sold... until I spotted Darth Vader's mouthpiece mid way through the demonstration, just before the computer became a three-sided tie-fighter.
From then on, it was epic.
i've got a new i7 iMac which is more than enough, but... I WANT ONE.
Surely they can't have completely exhausted all of the big cat names?
