Not surprising. Apple LOVES consumerism. They want everyone to treat computers as status symbols. They want everyone to be ashamed if they don't own the newest Apple products. It's how they make their money.

Consumerism is for morons. I'll use my X220 until it falls to pieces, and even then I'll try to repair it before I replace it. Anyone shallow enough to think less of me for doing so isn't someone whose opinion I care about.

I upgraded my laptop for the screen. My T400 would still run anything I throw at it, but the TN display was pretty shit so I upgraded. The main improvements in laptops have been in portability and screen quality, not performance.

I'm using my T400 as a media server now. It works fine.

You're right. A workstation will beat a gaming PC.

But the Mac Pro is a shitty workstation, and any PROPER workstation effortlessly trounces the Mac Pro.

It isn't really a workstation at all. It is for "prosumers." No one who needs a real workstation would be satisfied with it.

If this were a workstation, it would have internal expansion, max out at more than 64 GiB of RAM, have options for Nvidia GPUs, have at least two CPU sockets, and be in a normal tower (or rack-mounted) form factor.

It's not exactly bad. It's just not a workstation.

The Pro is a workstation of sorts. It isn't "consumerist prebuilt crap." It's not *really* a workstation, but it's also not Alienware.

It's KIND OF a workstation. It's a weird gray area. It has real workstation parts, but isn't nearly beefy enough to be a real pro machine.

Yes, it is a prebuilt. But the quote was
>it still shits over any consumerist prebuilt crap
The Pro is not exactly consumerist. It's also not exactly a workstation. It's for neither professionals nor consumers.

The person did not say that their machine beats ALL prebuilts, only that it beats consumerist ones. That does not count pseudo-workstations.

On a side note, this new reCAPTCHA system where the panels disappear and are replaced after you click them is about to make me punch my monitor. If Google is going to make me work for free, do they HAVE to make it so frustrating?

That's an exaggeration. The Pro does throttle because the form factor is lunacy, but only under extremely heavy load. I'm talking mprime and Furmark here, not a mere video game.

It isn't. It has a server processor and ECC RAM. It's not really a consumer machine. I guess it's what people call "prosumer."

I won't upgrade until something happens to my computer, and even when it does, I'll buy parts from 2010 because they're cheap.
