Why do some people say that the Mac Pro trash can design is very good, but it can t be popularized

Because it is too expensive to design.

Its cost performance is not high enough, and its popularity is not strong.

That's true, just because it's too expensive.

Apple officially unveiled this high-end device with a round appearance at the WWDC 2013 developer conference, which many people jokingly called "trash can".

Because his ** is still relatively expensive.

The first thing to look at is that it's still not cheap.

If you want to popularize it, it is to make it affordable for ordinary people.

The appearance is already such a trough cake, but when he heard his configuration, there were still a large number of fruit fans who came to stand on the street for Mac Pro for free.

If you buy it home in two years, you will repay 3,166 yuan every month, which is equivalent to the monthly payment of the mortgage.

I just want to stop you from experiencing OS X, and you can buy a Mac mini. It should be used, and it should be effective and concise, and it should be repentant, and then the trash can or mbp should be considered before the exam.

One reason for this is that these "old" Mac Pros are better than "new" Mac Pros in some ways. At the moment, a CMP doesn't lag behind the Trash Mac Pro much in terms of performance. For example, the 12-core GHz CMP model is on par with the 12-core Trash Mac Pro in terms of processing speed.

In other more important aspects, CMP is the Mac Pro that completely completes the Trash.

In contrast, Trash Can Mac Pro users rely on external drives, cables, and PCI connectors—because many still need to expand their memory cards, which not only takes up more space, is noisier, but also consumes more power and costs nearly twice as much overall. As a result, these add-ons on the Trash Mac Pro are also not as fast as CMP, as the latter is equipped with a faster PCI slot.

Running a high-end graphics card through a Thunderbolt interface and using an external PCI connector feels like trying to cram an elephant into a refrigerator, and it's inefficient.

It's because Apple has redesigned this generation of Mac Pro from the inside out. First of all, the image of the "trash can" that has been used for many years has been upgraded to a "luggage" appearance, and the shell is also modular design.

I think that the current computer manufacturers can design desktop computers to be truly modular, without flying wires or a very small number of flying wires, a bit like the internal structure of a notebook or the built-in structure of Apple computers, so that the assembly is simply fast, and the production of brand machines should be more efficient.

It's inconvenient to use and costly.

Mainly because of its special appearance.

The image of the "trash can" that has been used for many years has been upgraded to a "suitcase" appearance, and the shell is also modular in design.

This is because people's aesthetics are not yet acceptable.

This is because people are not very used to it.

It may take some time for the public to accept it.

From the point of view of the manufacturing process, Apple uses the mechanical-hydraulic deep draw stamping method to manufacture the case of the Mac Pro. In general metal stamping, one or two dies are used to obtain the final shape. However, the production process was a challenge to produce a cylindrical shape while maintaining a smooth surface of the housing.

In order to ensure the final result of the product, Apple uses a net shaper casting process, which is a kind of metal blank that does not need to be cut, only needs to be forged through multiple forging dies, and finally the blank is close to the final shape. In other words, the Mac Pro is shaped by a single ingot, and finally Apple cleans the surface of the metal case, adds a power button, and so on.

Let's talk about it with a diagram:

The picture above shows the metal blank used to make a Mac Pro case enclosure, and the picture below shows the metal blank going through the first (or first.

Fourth, the fifth) after deep drawing and punching processing, the length is close to the final product.

The housing of the Mac Pro is initially deep-drawn and then processed using the impact extrusion process – the same method used to make fire extinguishers and diving bottles.

The Apple then machined the casing with a CNC machine to make it smooth.

However, "smooth" is far from Apple's standard, and the shell has to be polished like a mirror.

The same manufacturing process is used in the production process of knives, which makes the back of the knife strong and the blade sharp.

The metal casing is then covered with a protective layer to prevent it from being destroyed by the subsequent rolling process.

The IO plug is machined on the metal casing.

A rack of enclosures is anodizing. In general, strong acids are used to anodize metal, but in order to ensure a mirror-like smooth case, it may not be treated with strong acids.

In addition to the Mac Pro's case, Apple also uses the Guyson automatic sandblast cabinet to handle the cooling tower in the center of the Mac Pro. And in the middle of the ** is the robotic arm produced by Fanuc.

The above is the working scene of the automatic sandblasting cabinet, which sprays the glass beads with air pressure and evenly increases the surface of the cooling tower, giving it a frosted effect.

The Mac Pro's production process uses a concealed parts transfer system that makes better use of space and minimizes the ingress of dust, which has recently become popular among factories.

Finally, Apple used a fiber laser to engrave a few words Mac Pro on the case.
