5:35 AM - It is Said that Apple Will Not Release Mac Pro

It's said that Apple may won't release the new Pro, because Mac Pro's sales has a distinct decline among consumers and enterprises in recent years, so the Mac Pro product line is already not very profitable for Apple, that's the reason why Mac Pro has an uncertain future. Actually some observers have said before that Apple's management has been re-considered whether to continue investing its Mac Pro products.

And here is Mac's situation in the market. The entry level Macbook Pro, the 13-inch received a 2.4Ghz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor as well as a 500GB hard drive.  It still costs $1,199.  The next model is up of the same size, scored a 2.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 and a larger 750GB hard drive. The price also remains the same at $1,499. As for the 15-inch models, both now include quad-core Intel Core i7 processors.  The lesser of the two has a 2.2GHz processor and a 500GB hard drive and a faster AMD Radeon HD 6750M discrete graphics card with 512MB of GDDR5.  The faster machine now sports a 2.4Ghz chips, a 750GB hard drive and AMD's Radeon HD 6770M with 1GB of GDDR5.  They sell for $1,799 and $2,199 respectively. Lastly, the lower end 17-inch Macbook Pro scored the same update as the top tier 15-inch Macbook pro, though you can bump that to 2.5GHz for $250 more.  It starts at $2,499. We can see that Mac is still popular in the market, after all, it has sound functions, like with dvd copy mac, we can enjoy a bunch of DVDs on the other devices of Apple, but maybe the expensive price let consumers can't afford it, so Apple may want to give up that product line because less people will buy it.

Last week, Intel's upcoming Sandy Bridge E Xeon processor pricing information has emerged, the E-series processors are likely to be equipped with the Apple Mac Pro early 2012 on, Mac Pro was last updated in 2010 medium, and Intel's new Mac Pro processors in turn release time from this year's delayed until next year. While the new processor release just around the corner, but there is news that the next Mac Pro product lines are not sure, Apple may not release the new Mac Pro. Informed sources said the Mac Pro products in consumer and business sales in the sales of recent years there has been significantly reduced, so the Mac Pro product line for Apple, has less money.

The report said Intel's latest Thunderbolt interface has been equipped with all of the Mac in the Apple models, the interface can greatly enhance the scalability of these Mac, Mac Pro and was only done to complete the task. Apple desktop sales currently account for 30% of all computers, while 10 years ago, the figure was 70%. This is also from the side shows the importance of Apple's desktop computers are constantly reduced.

Without question, Mac has been a part of our lives, we almost use it all the time, looking for information, watching videos with dvd ripper for mac, etc, but since it has rumors about Apple may won't release Mac Pro, it says something, maybe.. I don't know, just for ordinary consumers, maybe they don't want to buy it because it's too expensive.
