The optional wheels for the Mac Pro cost almost S$600

source: https://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/tech-news-optional-wheels-mac-pro-cost-almost-s600

he standard Apple Mac Pro has a stainless steel frame with feet. If you want extra mobility, the price tag is S$560! That's S$140 per wheel for the Mac Pro!

Apple states that the configuration with wheels is ideal for consumers who need to move the Mac Pro quickly and easily without having to lift it. It also makes the Mac Pro an inch taller than the frame with feet.

There is no official explanation on why the wheels are so expensive, but we reckon there is some advanced engineering or design element that commands this price tag!

 

Just an idea of how much can $600 do on wheels.

I can buy Michelin Pilot Sport 4 for my whole car.

I can rent a Merc E200 for a weekend.

I can get a replica TE37 rims for $620.

Will you get wheels for your mac pro? 🤔

I believe a fully specced out Mac Pro including display will be almost 80k sgd. 

$600 wheels are small potatoes compared to that. It's like complaining about the cost of wheels for a supercar. 

The basic model is something like 8k sgd, but I think that's without a display. Add in a bargain basement Apple display and it already comes to around 15k sgd. 

This is some atas sh*t. 

If you are not a super power user, then you just want ridiculous bragging rights. 

And much better specs for much lower cost are much easier to achieve without the name of a fruit appearing on any of your components.

By the way, I got figures from here: https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2019/12/10/21003636/apple-mac-pro-price-most-expensive-processor-ram-gpu

I don't buy Apple, so don't shoot the messenger if those are all wrong.

Apple should have at the very least called them iWheels to charge $600 did they not? 

[Voodooman]

$600 wheels, at least it moves. This one takes the cake. Lol

USD1.000 for a stand.  Apple really milking the fanboys dry.
