We understand that designing a complex device involves a lot of compromise and trade-off.

When Apple decided to make the new Mac Pro compact and power-dense, they gave up a lot of the options that HP felt their top-of-line machine needed. Options like extensive, easily-upgraded internal storage (completely tool-free!), dual CPUs, a ridiculous maximum RAM capacity, optical drives, and user-upgradeable graphics cards.

So what was HP's trade-off? A computer that weighs as much as a siberian husky.
