LETTER OF THE MONTH!
WHAT RUBBISH!
How dare you dismiss the 2013 ’trashcan’ Mac Pro as ‘a rare modern-Apple flop’ (‘40 years of Mac’ in #MF400).
The Mac Pro is the most futuristic, interesting, well designed and well built Mac ever. Designed in California and built in the good ol’ US of A too. No glue, no tape, no fragile connectors and best of all, no ’system on a chip’ nonsense. It has been the most reliable Mac I’ve ever owned (of many). I take it apart every six months to clean and service the heatsink, CPU and video cards. Everything unscrews and goes back together again without breaking. I have upgraded the processor, blade SSD and RAM. It runs faultlessly on Ventura with no problem and I love it. This shiny black lump of gorgeousness attracts more interest than anything else in my office and plays high resolution music all day, every day without fault. It will be with me forever – which is more than can be said for my M1 iMac. That piece of junk has gone to the great scrapyard in the sky.
