Anyone know of any company that's designed a carrying case (backpack, etc.) specifically for the new cylinrical Mac Pro?
New Mac Pro carrying case.
New Mac Pro carrying case.
That's definitely a New Mac Pro case. Thanks.
The one I have in mind would be more of a soft, backpack style bag...maybe some day someone will come out with one.
Has anyone run into any other (smaller) options? The one case linked to would be great, if I wanted to be airdropped into a war zone with my Mac Pro and a bunch of gear. Otherwise, it'd be nice to have something more minimal.
I've been carrying mine back and forth between locations using the original box it came in. Works for now, but cardboard and styrofoam isn't going to hold up in the long run (and I have to wrap it in a bag so I'm not advertising what I'm carrying).
That's definitely closer to what I'm looking for, thanks!
Has anyone else run across any other options?
What I'm interested in is what you plan to use for a screen...?
That part's easy. I have monitors and peripherals sitting at each of the two locations I travel between.
Just curious, have you taken the new Mac Pro on a plane yet? Is it easy enough to take through security as a carry on?
No, I haven't had the misfortune of visiting an airport since I got mine.
If you're travelling with your new nMP, prepare to take it off the case and run it through airport security scanners. What I've been using for a case is the Pelican Storm IM2500 (https://twitter.com/jnportfolio/status/436537769192460288). With this, I can have my precious investment with me at all times. In the case, I have a portable SSD drive by OWC, Wireless keyboard by Apple, Wacom Cintiq for a color accurate screen/pen (mouse) input, cables, and of course, the Mac Pro.
I have one of these from Lightware. It is really built well enough to check as luggage. Fits the MP perfectly. You could jump on the thing and not hurt it. Lightware has always manufactured the best heavy duty delicate equipment cases.
Love mine. Hard to find though.
