if ipad..great..but i wanna mac pro..=="

^ go order la... 8.2k only....

Suddenly I feel iMac Quad-Core 2.8 GHz is cheap compared to MacPro Quad-Core (RM6,500 compared to RM8,200) ..

can you cutomize the imac like you could a mac pro? , different desktops, different capacities and capabilities if i have a firm that uses these machines for a long time, and upgrade them every once in awhile, mac pro is the way to go, the graphic card,harddrive bay and RAM can be upgraded at will

no ipad.... haha just new mac pro.

I know Mac Pro's strength is on the customization. What I really mean compared to "entry" Mac Pro, the spec seem similar; same 1 socket processor, 16GB max DDR3, same range of GC (5750 & 5770). The rest HDD bay differ but only 2 compared to 4 HDD...

So if u want to really differentiate with iMac QC, u should buy Mac Pro "Better" model which cost Rm11.5 K excluding 27" LCD monitor

But what you're saying, you still miss the point... Yes, the iMac gives you 27", let alone extend another display, but a Mac Pro has better expandability of up to 6 displays in total - displays of your own choice. HDD you can only customise additional 2.5" SSD on an iMac's tiny space, as compared to 4 HDD, and probably more if you know how to MOD.

As for GC on the iMac, you're stuck with 5750, whereas an MP can get up to 5870, probably 6870 in the future when MP 2011 ships.

MP comes with PCIe slots for additional cards - RAID cards, connectivity cards, pro-video/audio cards, you name it. Does the iMac have this...? SD card slot for an advantage maybe.

Oh, if the iMac goes AWOL, there it goes, the entire unit into the service center. The Mac Pro, still behaves like a PC - cabut here, cucuk there...

Need I go on..? It's a long list....

People who afford the MP 4-core don't really compare performance per price or specs per price if you wanna put it that way.

In short, they pay extra on the premium of expandability at your own pace (vs customised iMac from factory), with a little more variety of your own stuff (vs Apple-designated parts), and those who demands features for professional work which the iMac lacks. For this small set of ppl... "Performance be damned, I want expandability" MP 4-core fits right perfectly.

couldnt have said it better myself, haih people these days only look at the surface never look deep enough.

I've always not bothered with people who can't tell the difference. as you two know about my training style...

the iMac is a consumer Mac. yes, its very very powerful and can get very close to the performance of the entry-level Mac Pro...
but its like a VW Golf GTi Mk2 chasing a VW Golf GTi Mk4 ... totally different beast under the hood

Max out the configuration on the best Mac Pro. You'll find that it would cost you RM 81,852.00 to buy the whole system.

thats is the reason why people get the base spec and upgrade the rest on the go or over a period of time minus the Processor configuration.

well I don't.... I failed analogy, remember...?

If we buy online, will Apple send the invoice to our house?
