![]() I'm only giving in at this point because an $800 discount off MSRP is worth it. The base model for the Ultra should have had at least a 2TB drive. ![]() My guess is that the 1TB Studios didn't sell very well because it's a ludicrous limitation for the target segment. The pro has been repositioned for the Pixars and Zimmers of the world, while the Studio is for us lowly small biz / prosumer creatives still slogging along in the mud. They certainly wouldn't discontinue it entirely and then update it later, and I doubt they'd discontinue it even if they announce a new Mac Pro at the upcoming WWDC the machines are now targeted at different segments. WRT the Mac Studio, I'd say an update is the most likely scenario. So this current deal is about as good as I'm likely to get for my personal value calculus. ![]() It doesn't give me the warm fuzzies and happy "I got a great new computer" feel that I used to get when picking up a new Mac.īut if I keep waiting for the right computer at the right price, I'll probably never get another Mac again. I don't like the practice - I'd rather them have the sales overlap the new product announcement so I could make an informed choice instead of a deal-driven sacrifice decision that will likely make me unhappy a few weeks later. That said, I agree with others that Apple's pattern over the last few years is to put a soon-to-be-updated device on sale just before an update or discontinuation.
