People who freak about macpro prices have obviously never purchased high end dell precision or hp z8 series workstations - it’s quite easy to spec either of them such they cost 2-4 times the cost of a maxed out macpro

Would the Benq be of equal quality ? Any more alternatives that can match Apple's XDR ?

Those are not high end specs, but priced almost like the base model Mac Pro.DJ Warmonger wrote: ↑Wed Dec 11, 2019 10:14 am

I still would like to see these high-end specs, as apparently they're not on HP official website.

^I don't see why would anybody buy that today, especially for that ridiculous price. Mini-tower workstation? Come on...
Intel Xeons are already inferior to Threadrippers. It also has only HDD storage and no GPU apparently...
The only interesting feature is 256 GB RAM, you don't see that every day.
Just because someone typed an absurd price doesn't make Macs any more competetive. What is competetive, is when you try to build a workstation on your own with off-the-shelf components.

No idea why you'd want to go for such a configuration anyway... rather seems like something you'd use in the professional film/3D/whatever industry. Or in science.

One branded off the shelf professional desktop workstation is competitive with another, building your own one with consumer grade parts really aren't, it's just common sense logic.DJ Warmonger wrote: ↑Wed Dec 11, 2019 11:19 am What is competetive, is when you try to build a workstation on your own with off-the-shelf components.

Nope, it's just naive. Electronics is electronics, it has nothing to do with "professional grade". Same parts can be ordered by average Joe and assembled for a fraction of this cost. This is not proprietary, military-grade or otherwise restricted gear. It's just marketingPassing Bye wrote: ↑Wed Dec 11, 2019 12:59 pmOne branded off the shelf professional desktop workstation is competitive with another, building your own one with consumer grade parts really aren't, it's just common sense logic.DJ Warmonger wrote: ↑Wed Dec 11, 2019 11:19 am What is competetive, is when you try to build a workstation on your own with off-the-shelf components.
