And that’s about it. No actual release date or other updates, we just know you’ll be able to buy one next month. The company had previously promised the computer would arrive in the ‘fall,’ so presumably, you’ll be able to buy one before December 21st if Apple wants to keep true to its word. That’s one expensive Christmas gift. As a recap, the Mac Pro is Apple’s most powerful computer ever, but its real claim to fame is its more traditional design. Unlike the trash-can Mac Pro before it, the new Mac Pro is entirely modular, allowing you to swap out almost any component the way you can on a custom Windows desktop. In fact, Apple made it easy to remove the chassis, allowing for quick repairs and component swaps.
The Mac Pro can be configured with up to
A 28-core Intel Xeon (powered by up to 300 watts) 1.5 terabytes of RAM (12 DIMM slots) 8 PCIe slots (64 lanes) 1,400 Watt power supply 8TB of storage
Apple previously revealed the new Mac Pro will start at $5,999 in a base configuration including an 8-core Xeon processor, 32GB of memory, Radeon Pro 580X graphics, and a 256GB SSD . Expect that price to rise dramatically as you add fancier components.
