Leave it to the liberal weenies in the EU to declare something that has been around for years with not one single issue whatsoever to be “unsafe”…

And we wonder why everything costs so much.

Haha! Funny. I have been in and out of advertising companies, design companies, music recording studios, and every kind of creative industry you care to mention and they all use Macs.

The worlds leading DJs all use Macs too.

“Memory soldered onto the motherboards”. ??? You can easily replace and upgrade memory.

“Also the hard disks, batteries and other items are pretty much none replaceable/upgradable either.”

What on earth are you talking about? You can replace all of these things easily.

Admittedly Apple has neglected their Mac Pro line for years now; the recent update pissed off a lot of Mac Pro users because they have been waiting so long and they got an incremental update. Apple’s Mac Pro range and iMacs are getting so powerful and cost effective that Mac Pros aren’t needed unless you work in graphics and video.

The world’s top designers like to use Mac hardware, so I hope that Apple come good on their promise and deliver some unbelievably fast Mac Pros in 2013. The creative world prefers this hardware and OS.

Apples doesn’t make computers any more only consumer gadgets.

Any media professional worth their salt has already left the Mac platform as Apple just doesn’t care about them.

How can you buy a laptop or computer that has the memory soldered onto the motherboard so you can’t ever upgrade it after purchase from Apple. Also the hard disks, batteries and other items are pretty much none replaceable/upgradable either.

Apple should just put the Mac Pro Tower out to pasture as it is so old and slow compared to what any other Intel based workstation computer can do with real upgrades over the last 3 years with modern Intel motherboards.
