Mac Pro To Be Discontinued?

Reports have been coming out that Apple may be discontinuing the Mac Pro! The Mac Pro is a high-end, expandable, professional desktop tower computer. It was introduced in August, 2006. But sadly it may be discontinued Late 2011. Apple is going towards consumer grade products. There is less of a market for the pro desktops. A lot of people want a laptop, or a desktop with a large screen. Such as the iMac and MacBook Air.

Intel earlier this week introduced their “2012 Processor Roadmap” and it included Xeon chips suitable for the Mac Pro. AppleInsider later posted a statement about the Mac Pro to be discontinued.

“Despite the coming availability of a new generation of Sandy Bridge desktop CPUs suitable for advancing Apple’s Mac Pro line, the company has reportedly been evaluating whether to continue to invest in furthering its full-sized workstation line beyond this year in the face of limited sales.”

 

So do you think that Apple will discontinue the Mac Pro? This seems to be the route Apple will be taking in my opinion. They have been getting rid of non-selling-money-making computers, like the MacBook.
