Apple Mac Pro update — When?
In my Jobs silent on hexacore Mac Pro at WWDC entry, I discussed the non-arrival of a new Apple Mac Pro, and when it might appear. See my comments there about what might be expected.
At this point, we cannot expect a Mac Pro before late July. Something has to happen by August (I hope), since the fall buying season starts not long after. But who knows, what with the iPhone now producing the lion’s share of Apple’s profits.
In the meantime, if a new or refurbished Mac Pro saves you time and/or increases reliability now, consider an MPG Pro Workstation, taking into account the quad-core vs 8-core shootout. My top recommendation remains the 2.66Ghz quad-core “Burly” MPG Pro Workstation, with the 3.33GHz model a smart move for increased interactive responsiveness.

Here’s what consulting client Conrad Erb had to say about his recent experience:
I know a good deal about computers and can handle a lot of technical information, but after many hours researching a new workstation, I was overloaded with information and confused with so many options. You explained the options and prevented me from spending a big pile of money on a system that wasn't going to offer good performance. I recently picked up a workstation according to your recommendations, and performance is exactly what I needed. I ended up spending significantly less than had I not consulted with you. Investing in your advice was absolutely worth it - it saved me time and frustration. I'm actually enjoying my work again spending more time DOING my work instead of waiting for my computer to catch up with me!
