"Even at $7,000, the new Mac Pro is only 8% faster than an iMac"
http://bgr.com/2013/12/23/mac-pro-benchmarks-performance-tests/
[quote]“It should be no surprise that the new 8-core Mac Pro is the fastest Mac we’ve tested, but it was only 8 percent faster overall than our previous champ, a [configured to order] 2013 27-inch iMac,” Macworld’s James Galbraith wrote. “That custom system has a speedy quad-core 3.5GHz Core i7 processor, a 3TB Fusion Drive, 8GB of RAM, and Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M graphics.”
The iMac Galbraith describes, by the way, costs $2,699 — or $4,100 less than the new Mac Pro in question.[/quote]
Laugh...laugh with me. Laugh at the overpriced stupidity. What else is there to even say about this?

4 RepliesNot to defend pricing and such... but surely the 8% speed increase isn't the only improvement in the Mac Pro? Seems like a fairly narrow perspective to take.
