Apple Mac Pro review
Apple's 2.8GHz, quad-core MacPro puts in an excellent performance
Great new processors Extremely capable graphics card Runs almost silently 18x optical drive Good bundled software
No Blu-ray Expensive Only one optical drive No form factor improvements Could use more SDRAM

Apple Mac Pro 12-core Desktop PC
Known as a brilliant innovator, Apple is technically the largest producer of computers in the United States and also in many other parts of the world. Right from the start, Apple has been up right there on the top when it comes to production, sales,...
The Mac Pro is hence an incredibly powerful system that has all the latest technology and features in it. It comes with a very huge price tag, but still everything in it is worth the huge amount. You have already made a great choice if you have gone...

Eight cores, two processors and storming performance: Apple's latest desktop is the first dual-core Penryn workstation we've seen.

Mac Pro
You can't tell from the outside that Apple's new two-socket, eight-core Mac Pro, based on Intel's new Nehalem Xeon CPU, is much changed from the two-s...
Fast, green, silent, rugged, expandable
Expensive
If my take is right, then the 2009 Nehalem Mac Pro hardware platform, once purchased, is one that should stay stable and upgradable until, say, PCI Express 3 becomes an imperative.

Apple Mac Pro (Winter 2009) review: Apple Mac Pro (Winter 2009)
Apple Mac Pro (Winter 2009)
Best-in-class desktop design; interior makes upgrades and parts replacement simple; strong performance on HD video and 3D rendering thanks to new Intel CPU and faster RAM
Relatively slow performance on programs such as Photoshop that rely on single-core CPU speed; we wish it had eSATA instead of FireWire 800 for external hard-drive connections.
Apple's new eight-core Mac Pro demonstrates marked improvements over the older model in high-intensity digital media and multitasking scenarios. We also love the design tweaks that improve on Apple's already industry-leading sensibilities. Any...

Review: Mac Pro
The new Mac Pro is the final Macintosh in Apple's line-up to make the transition from PowerPC processors to Intel processors. Based on Intel's 64-bit Xeon CPU, the Mac Pro has two dual-core processors - four cores in total, like the "Quad" G5....
Blisteringly fast, Extremely quiet, Four SATA II drive bays and fast PCIe, Excellent value vs. Xeon-based PC workstations or Quad G5, error-correcting memory should be more reliable, Runs Windows XP and Windows applications at full speed
Standard GeForce 7300 GT video card has tearing issues in gaming and vastly underperforms comparable PCs with decent cards, Airport and Bluetooth are extra-cost options, FB-DIMM memory is expensive, Incompatible with "Classic" Mac applications and with...
The Mac Pro is blisteringly fast, yet very competitively priced with Xeon-based PC workstations
