I lamented the chassis’ lack of support for 2.5” drives. Little had changed externally since the PowerMac G5 I bought years ago. He used a BitFenix Prodigy case, a great choice. I was surprised when my gamer friend settled on building a new desktop that was seriously small. I’d been on a mini-ITX kick for a while, but motherboard and case vendors kept reiterating as exciting as mini-ITX was, the sales volumes just weren’t there. Without any coercion on my part, he opted for a mini-ITX build. More recently, in 2012, I was talking to my friend Lyle who was setting out to build a new gaming PC. I wanted to give the platform a fair shake so I bought the fastest thing Apple offered back then: a 2GHz PowerMac G5. I spent most of my life at that point staying away from Apple hardware. This was the computer engineering department right? It wasn’t much later that I started my month with a Mac experiment. I remember walking into the lecture hall and seeing far too many PowerBooks and white iBooks. I was enrolled in ECE 466 at NCSU, a compiler optimization/scheduling class. It's good to have this great 12-Core Mac Pro with 64GB of memory up and running normally again.The year was 2004. I highly recommend all Apple Mac users keep their extended warranty programs up-to-date, especially in light of the apparent frequency of logic board failures. They resolved the flawed logic board problem with MacPro quickly and under warranty, so there was no cost or charges to me, only smiles and questions like "how much did you pay for that", since I assume they do not see a lot of 12-core Mac Pros in that particular location where most customers are their to get their iPhones repaired, especially the iPhones which have been underwater!Īpple has a great warranty program globally.

It's impressive that Apple can provide such great service on the oppositve side of the world, The technicians and all staff were highly professional and enjoyable to work with. Overall, I am very happy with the support I received from Apple Care in Thailand. I just installed the latest version as of today, Mojave Beta 10.14.5 and all is well and she is humming along normally. Now back on my desk, my Mac Pro seems to be running normally again. My recommendation is that all owners of Macs extend their Apple Care warranty as long as they possibility can since Apple seems to have a fairly high rate of logic board failures and the cost of Apple Care extended warranty is much less than the cost of replacing a logic board. Seems like Apple has a lot of logic board failures, at least from my experience. For me this is the second logic board to fail in the same month, one on this Mac Pro and one on a MacBook Air. They replied that many Apple logic boards fail and they don't know the exact reason. I asked them if they had any idea why the logic board failed. They replied that their diagnostic test equipment only indicated "pass" or "fail" on the logic board and did not designate or indicate which parts of the board had failed.
I also asked if the good folks at Apple Care could tell me exactly what chip or part of the logic board had failed. Apple mentioned that the board was sent to the factory when they requested a new one, so they did not have it at Apple Care. While I was there, I asked to see the defective logic board. Apple changed the logic board under warranty and told me all was "normal" again. Yesterday I visited the Apple Care center after seeing Avengers End Game to pick up my Mac Pro (Late 2013) - 2.7 GHz Twelve-Core, MacPro6,1 (A1481).
