Yesterday, the company announced the Mac Pro will be available today and now most orders are pushed back to Jan. 2 or even Feb. 7. Delivery is all over the map with units scheduled to arrive on several different dates according to reports on rumors site.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, it would be this author\u2019s guess that there is something in the chain causing the delay (well duh, right?). Perhaps they just barely got those assembly lines going, or maybe they way, way underestimated the pent-up demand. It\u2019s certainly possible the line just now got going, but Apple had to make its December 2013 promise happen.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, being &#8220;Mac heads&#8221; we\u2019re used to a certain level of reliability with Apple on these things. So if they were holding to ensure quality \u2013 and hey, quality is worth waiting for \u2013 they should just be up front about it. Announcing that it\u2019s available when the demand is known, and then having delivery dates slip like that does not \u201cavailable\u201d make.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to recall any major system introduction or order availability happening overnight and without fan fare. And the result was that the \u201cearly birds\u201d got the Mac Pros, or at least will have them within a couple weeks, while everyone else waking up this morning will see backlogs stretching into February or longer (estimates say February as of the posting of this blog).\u00a0This is particularly shocking for a system that&#8217;s been four years in the making and six months since it was first shown off at WWDC.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>While the new Mac Pro looks nice, we\u2019re inclined to say we would have been very happy with the current Mac Pro design getting the updated processor, video, and Thunderbolt treatment rather than the re-invention of the wheel. The 2006-2012 Mac Pros are still amazing, solid, reliable workhorses, and here&#8217;s hoping the same is true of the 2013 Mac Pro form and that they can get production in this new form into good volume output.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well it\u2019s been an interesting few days on the Apple front.
