Who said Apple never listens

They've removed the "new" badge from the Mac Pro on the Store!

Well look at that. Wonder what made them change that?

Maybe their legal department had a seminar this week on the definition of "New."

it was the wrong graphic - they're waiting on the "kinda, sorta new" jpg from the art dept.

I don't know. It's crazy though. They rewrote the entire Mac Pro page to remove all references to Nehalem and Westmere, making the only reference to the actual CPUs a buried page where they were listed by number and not by name, something that Apple has not done before. So, somebody there knew that "Westmere" would be a dead give-away that any significant change had not come. A little slick, no?

I wonder if they forgot they have a Mac Pro in their lineup and at the last minute they went "oops, let's put something up now, anything!"

Now we wait for them to fix the mistake in their pricing.

[Jim Wiseman] "Apple confirms (really) new MacPros and iMacs in 2013 in Forbes. See my most recent post.

Not quite. Apple confirms new desktops in 2013. That's a very different thing.

Apple did significantly drop the price of the 12 core configuration, didn't they? New $3800 with RAM compared to old price of $5000 without RAM according to one article I read today.

The new $3800 model is for the 2.40 12 core. I may be mistaken about this but I believe the old $5000 model is for the 2.66 12 core, which is the same price as the new 2.66 12 core. The only difference I see in prices is they throw in some xtra memory on the new model, which is hilarious considering how much they overcharge for the memory.

Actually I'm a case study in approaching senility, but if you go to the refurbished section of the Apple store you will find older MacPro models listed at 15% off their original price (even if they don't say 15% off.) If you do the math, you get what I got.
