#3I wish this would be half the price tag... I'd buy it right away.
Quoting from the page: "What's in the box - Mac Pro, Power Cord, Keyboard and Mouse sold separately".
Funny that one of the three items really doesn't belong on that list.

#4Add $3000 for the 12 core. Really?
Edit: actually , all together it still comes to what was projected. I just didn't expect so much of it to be in the CPU.

#5Dunno why, but I've always felt Apple (and others too) seem to chintz out on the 'upsell' portion. I just configured a new Mac Pro for $13k, and I still need to tack on another $69 for a trackpad. WTH? Couldn't they say - "hey, you're buying a machine for over $5k - would you like a complimentary mouse or trackpad with this?"
EDIT: yes, I do know why. It feels stingy. That's why.

#6I don't get it. Who is the market for these, and why?

That chip retails for $2,795, so not really that out there.

This is more Intel not Apple.

Retail price for that CPU is 2.7k... you are paying maybe a $500 markup?

You ever tried to edit 4K video? Real time editing is very important to post-production studios and when you are adding effects, rendering etc in a time sensitive environment - and you are a Final Cut person - then this is a great tool.
This is not for your average dev or photo person, this is legitimately a 'Pro' machine aimed at very small a subset of Apple customers who actually mean quite a bit to the company. It is a quality perception game, when Hollywood is using your stuff you gain a certain mystique.

Film editors will gobble these up.
