Dunno 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?"<p>EDIT: yes, I do know why. It feels stingy. That's why.
I wish this would be half the price tag... I'd buy it right away.<p>Quoting from the page: "What's in the box - Mac Pro, Power Cord, Keyboard and Mouse sold separately".<p>Funny that one of the three items really doesn't belong on that list.
Add $3000 for the 12 core. Really?<p>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.
Another release of pro hardware from Apple. Another slew of comments everywhere from laptop peasants who don't understand the pro market, and can barely comprehend the competition.
