New $10,320 Mac Pro System with dual 4K resolutions display

Yes, I am finally a convert after years of being a PC user. The transition was inevitable, i used UNIX, LINUX, NT versions of OS before i made the switch. definitely not your run of the mill consumer, i do programming, design and other intellectual stuff on my computers and i can say the move to a consumer based UNIX system like Yosmite was a bliss.

Using iPad and iPhone for years, i realise how reliable and good these apple products are and to be honest the Android just doesnt stack up, not because Google fail in its development but rather the decision not to control the whole process including manufacturing has created an abscess of tumour from all these under par manufacturer. Apple on the other hand, being run by faggots and perfectionist control every single process and in the end, it is just a spectacular product.

Android and their competitors are just cheap....cheap users, cheap products and cheap everything. dont even get me talking about vertu, not that anyone reading this blog could afford one. you cant even afford the yearly $3k concierge fee to run your vertu. Oops, you didn't know that? i had a vertu given to me by a rich shanghai client a few years back and that how i know and the reason these people use vertu is not because of the phone, its all about the concierge service which is legendary, they could get you michelin star restaurant bookings last minute or world cup final tickets.

So back to the system, i decided to go for moderately high end system in the Mac Pro and will be primarily using it to run algorithms to trade the financial markets, some auto porn downloads, CCTV monitoring and maybe some illegal access to other computers.

It already all paid for by the markets by the time this post is ready.... and did i mention 4K display is glorious!!!!

Here is the setup

Mac Pro                                             : $6300
Dual 4 K Display from Dell                : $3800
Accessories                                       : $220

                                                            $10,320

This design award winner is a standout among iPad stand that is in the market and i am not even talking about all the counterfeit, low workmanship stuff 90% of the people buy in the dubious retail outlets.

Even among the genuine products like belkin, this particular stand is a sight to behold. simple, polished, elegant with excellent proportions.
