New 2019 Mac Pro!

It has arrived! I forgot how much fun it is to configure all the software for a new system

To say I'm jealous would be the understatement of the century, T. Congrats man!

As you know, my budget is screwed for the foreseeable future, and that machine was the last hurdle to jump for me. So close, and yet so far.

Thanks MM! Yeah, it’s a huge investment. I’m hoping that it will last me a decade with some upgrades along the way. The one I got is the 16 core, which seems like the best price/performance ratio. At least that’s what I thought.

I almost got the rack version, but I’m really glad that I didn’t. This one is so easy to access, which I am doing a lot while getting everything configured.

Oh, and it came with a free year’s subscription to Apple TV

Wuddun, mate.

I agree that the 16-core option is the best for audio for now.

As the CPU prices drop over time, you can upgrade as you please, as you no doubt will.

APPLE TV????? WAHHHHHHHHHH...I'M INNNNNNNNN

The downside is that I had to buy a Thunderbolt drive enclosure, another 4GB SSD, a Thunderbolt dock for USB, etc. I still need more ram. This shit adds up quick! $$

This computer has been humming along pretty reliablly for the past few months. And I totally forgot about the free subscription to apple tv until I re-read this thread

I think I started looking at what they had and maybe watched one thing then completely forgot. When I watch tv, it's usually Netflix or Amazon...
