The local Apple Store doesn't have a single 2019-model Mac Pro on display. They're still pushing the coffee cans. I have to wonder whether the new model is real.

(1,933 posts)All the years Apple sold a rack-mount server (Xserve) they never showed them off in the retail stores. With an entry price of $6000 for these new guys, they don't exactly lend themselves to impulse buys.
Fyi, they're quoting 1-2 weeks delivery, and no in-store pickup

Omg, just maxing out some of the options gets the price up over $50k.
Pretty shocking that they're still pushing the old cans, unless they're at a serious discount!

I would guess that that the new Mac Pro is not a stocking stuffer, not even seasonal, so it can't compete for shelf space a few days before Christmas. Or maybe it doesn't exist yet. I'll look for it again in January.
