????Mac Pro的第一波評測出現在今年六月。當時，關于蘋果（Apple）這款高端工作站的信息都是評測人士從它的照片和配置單上收集了解到的。上周，第二波評測終于新鮮出爐，這次的評測都是實際試用后的測評。但是，第二波測評仍然顯得有些粗略。要想全面了解Mac Pro，必須等到視頻評測出現，等到針對新配置的軟件優化完畢。 ????《紐約時報》（New York Times）的莫利?伍德：未來派Mac Pro游刃有余?！翱穹挪涣b的設計。整個Mac Pro包裹在高約10英寸，深灰色的圓筒中，如此別致的外形反射出光怪陸離的倒影。打開可拆卸的外殼，看到的是整齊排列的電子工業杰作。Mac Pro頂部的散熱片向上彎曲，可充當把手，可惜就視覺效果而言，他有點像垃圾桶或是煙灰缸?！?/p> ????科技網站The Verge總監兼編輯約翰?拉格瑪西奧：“蘋果保持了一貫的極簡主義設計。不過一番使用后，我發現在樸實無華的外表下隱藏的是不容小覷的實力。它如此簡潔，如此閃亮，如此具有金屬質感，我仿佛看到了一顆蠢蠢欲動的巨大子彈被塞進一把讓人不寒而栗的超大號散彈槍中。一絲戰爭的意味不由自主的在我腦中閃過……不過，這顆子彈倒是安靜得出奇。即便運行繁重的任務，也絕不會在Mac Pro身上聽到硬盤或是散熱風扇的噪音。唯一提醒你這臺電腦正在散熱的是從它頂部排出的陣陣暖風，在電腦上方形成了一片范圍頗大的熱帶氣旋?！?/p> ????癮科技（Engadget）德納?沃爾曼：很小，很快，獨樹一幟?！昂茈y評論Mac Pro的價格，因為根本找不到可以與之對比的電腦。雖然市面上的Windows工作站數不勝數，但顯而易見，沒有一臺如此小巧便攜（就更不要說噪音了）。如果你是一位創意工作者，而且使用的是Final Cut Pro等Mac專用軟件，那它是你唯一的選擇。新款Mac Pro相比老款獲得了全面提升，是升級的最佳選擇。雖然2999美元（更不用說售價高達1000美元的版本）是筆不菲投入，但對于成天與工作站打交道的用戶而言，它絕對物有所值，那些視時間為生命（從事圖形渲染工作）的用戶想必也深表同意?！?/p> ????科技網站The Verge大衛?皮爾斯：終于，蘋果開始關注Pro了?！半m然在許多方面，Mac Pro無疑是有史以來最快最強大的Mac電腦。但實事求是地說，眼下的它還不能讓你的工作效率馬上有了突飛猛進的提升，因為許多軟件都尚未進行優化。Mac Pro是蘋果推出的專業工作站電腦，絕大部分軟件都應該針對新款硬件進行升級優化。顯然，Mac Pro性能強勁，處理許多任務都游刃有余，但就軟件升級而言，Mac Pro二代與老款Mac Pro或是最新版iMac相比，軟件方面的改進并不明顯。 ????科技博客T3馬特?希爾：評測?！癟3辦公室里大家上次濟濟一堂圍觀電子產品時還是今年早些時候為了谷歌眼鏡（Google Glass）的評測。我們還沒有開機，小伙伴們就已經驚呆了?！保ㄘ敻恢形木W） |
????The first wave of Mac Pro stories arrived in June and covered what writers could glean about Apple's (AAPL) new high-end workstation from photo handouts and a spec sheet. The second wave arrived this week, with the first hands-on reviews. They're still pretty sketchy. For the full story, we're going to have to wait for the video pros -- and pro software optimized for the new specs. ????Molly Wood, New York Times:Futuristic Mac Pro Has Power to Spare. "The design is obviously an indulgence. The Mac Pro is a charcoal gray cylinder that stands about 10 inches high and reflects back a distorted, slightly menacing view of the world. The outer layer of the tube is removable, displaying the Pro's innards in a pleasing industrial array. A cutout at the top of the cylinder creates a lip that acts as a handle, and a visual effect sadly reminiscent of either a trash can or an ashtray." ????John Lagomarsino, Director / Editor at The Verge :"The design is sleek, but after working next to it, I can't help but feel there's something sinister about its unassuming looks. It's so straight, so shiny, so metallic — it reminds me of an oversized bullet waiting to be shoved down the barrel of some terrifying novelty sized shotgun. It's definitely got a military vibe that's a little unnerving... I love how quiet the machine is. It's impossible to hear over an external hard drive or ambient air conditioning noise, even under heavy loads. The only sign you'll have that it's cooling itself is the gentle rush of warm air coming out the top of the unit, which makes a surprisingly wide and uniform column of wind." ????Dana Wollman, Engadget:Small, fast and in a league of its own. "It's hard to say if the Mac Pro is pricey, per se, given that there's nothing else quite like it. There are plenty of Windows-based workstations, certainly, but none are quite this small or quite this portable (many aren't quite this quiet, either). And if you're a creative professional already hooked into Mac-only apps like Final Cut Pro, this is really your only choice: The new Mac Pro is a serious improvement over the old model in every way, and is likely worth the upgrade. So, while $2,999 (let alone $10,000) is indeed a big investment, it's well worth it for people who live and die by their workstation, and for whom (rendering) time is money." ????David Pierce, The Verge:At long last, the pros get some love. "In many ways, the Mac Pro is the fastest and most powerful Mac ever made. But today, as it stands, it's not a drop-in improvement that will instantly make any and every setup faster — its greatest tricks are enabled when software is specifically tuned to this hardware. Because this Mac Pro is now the de facto professional computer for Apple users, most important apps are virtually certain to be upgraded to support its particulars. There's clearly plenty of power here for almost any use case, but while we wait for software updates this machine isn't a particularly notable upgrade from the last-generation Pro, or the latest iMac." ????Matt Hill, T3:Verdict. "Not since our first "eyes on" experience with Google Glass earlier this year has the entire T3 office crowded round just to catch sight of a piece of technology. People were gawping before we'd even turned it on." |
