Championing the Mac Pro

Jason Snell writing for iMore:

Does every professional Mac user need a Mac Pro? Absolutely not. But the Mac Pro is important to the Mac market as a whole, and not just as a symbol. It's important as a release valve. If you can't use a Mac mini or MacBook or iMac and MacBook Pro to get your job done, the Mac Pro should exist — at a cost, of course — as the solution to any problem. Its job is to keep the most demanding users on the platform.

This weekend I had a lot of fun cracking open my Mac Pro (Early 2009) and swapping some components. It still gets a lot of use as my home media server. I really want Apple to make a machine like that again.
