forums.mactalk.com.au — The Mac Matrix comprises of 4 product groups: a desktop for the home user (iMac), a desktop for the professional (Mac Pro), a notebook for the consumer (MacBook) and a notebook for the professional (MacBook Pro). However, in recent times, the matrix has blurred at some points, and left a gaping hole in others. I want a headless Mac.

APPLE used to have a computer like this. The low end of the "Pro" line was often under 2000$ (usually 1700$ or something). They could and should do it. I bought a used mac-pro which is amazing, but honestly way over powered for what I need (which is a lot of photoshop). the Pro is also very very big for us apartment dewellers. But if you like 3.5 inch drives and need a lot of storage space for photos the mini just doesn't cut it.

Apple should add one, possible more, products to the matrix. They now sell so many Macs and make so much money, it isn't necessary to have a very restricted product portfolio. I hope they add a cheaper Mac Pro.

I think people just want an iMac without the built-in monitor.

Like simplex said, one of the reasons people move from the PC to the mac is because it's easy -- you don't have to worry about the nitty-gritty anymore. Getting hardware to work right on OSX86 is usually harder than on windows -- or even linux...

No - we want a Mac with a slot for an Nvidia 8800 GT. And a 9900 GT. And a 10100 GT. And...Even if I bought a Mac Pro, I couldn't use any of those cards, even the one that's been invented.
