This page is a fantastic example of great development skills used in a way that is utterly infuriating to use. I don't want it to animate when I use my scroll wheel. I want the page to scroll. Off topic, but were this and the Air the only product announced? If so, I'm disappointed- I was hoping to pick up an updated Macbook Retina 13". Oh well.

I imagine they designed it for trackpads, not scroll wheel mice. It works pretty well on a trackpad.

Up to 3 4K displays at the same time? It seems Retina desktop monitors are on their way. I'm surprised they weren't announced at the same time.

Wait till the actual release date! There is not a good reason for them to announce new apple displays until they can actually be used with their hardware. Thunderbolt 2 doesn't even exist yet.

He mentioned "...your favorite 3rd party displays" when introducing the 4K-ness.

I'm in the exact same situation. I am hoping that they launch the updated 13" rMBP along with OS X 10.9.

It works just fine, I think the complaint was that when one uses the scrollwheel on the mouse, the expectation is that the page will scroll. It's a cool demo page, but it feels weird.

So instead of a Cube we have a Cylinder. I'm sure it will look nice with a couple of large monitors and a Cintiq. The combination will still cost less than even a small company car.

The design seems pretty ugly to me, but it is functional. It's essentially a wind tunnel with all the circuit boards placed against it.

Just like the good old Cube. Only the guts are in a triangle.

Yep, exactly my thoughts. Also, didn't Tim Cook say the mini was going to be manufactured in the US as well? And could it also be the case that the Mini will follow the Pro's form factor because it would save money in manufacturing an entirely separate low-margin unit?

After seeing the Pro, I fantasized how fun it would be to have a desktop machine with several symmetric displays.

My bet, the entry level Pro will be $1899-$1999.

The New Mac Pro, the world's fastest trashcan introduced by the world's least usable web page.

More seriously, I think it's pretty cool, I like that the design has a point, thermal management, rather than just having a weird shape to look all "designy". It's hard for me to accept that this is a pro machine though, very over integrated for that kind of role.

And also, for a company that's not supposed to be focused on specs, there's a lot of specs on that page (when it works).
