Apple Mac Pro

Apple redefines what a desktop PC can look and sound like

Outstanding performance ; Incredible design ; Very cool, quiet and stable ; Good connectivity options ; Real time 4K video editing in Final Cut Pro

No HiDPI mode for 4K monitors yet ; Software support still to catch-up ; Future upgradability still unknown

Finally, inside there's Bluetooth 4.0 and 802.11ac Wi-Fi wireless cards as you'd no doubt expect at this price. There's a combined optical/analog line out for audio, and a separate headphone jack. There's also a built-in speaker, which is a...

Apple Mac Pro review

With a unique design and tremendous power, this is the workstation to beat

Stellar design ; Lots of expansion ports ; Twin GPUs ; Incredible performance ; Removable SSD

Few internal expansion possibilities ; No bundled keyboard or mouse ; No two-processor option ; No optical drive

Not everyone needs the workstation-level power and performance offered by the new Mac Pro, but wouldn't you just love one? It's a masterpiece of engineering and suitably expensive. Fresh ideas such as the unified thermal core and backlit expansion...

Apple Mac Pro (2013) review

Incredible power, excellent value and a stunning case that's as quiet as it is beautiful - the ultimate workstation

On top of all that, it's the most attractive and desirable desktop computers that we've ever seen. If you need a workstation-class computer, the Mac Pro is a landmark computer and our Ultimate choice.

Apple Mac Pro review

Apple's new Mac Pro is a stunningly fresh take on the desktop computer. But it's probably not for you.

The Mac Pro 's hardware is incredibly powerful, especially if you're using it for pro-level graphics and video tasks. It can output to up to three 4K displays simultaneously, thanks to six Thunderbolt 2 ports plus HDMI. The system is whisper-quiet,...

Internal expandability is limited, and even the starting price is a hefty $3,000. While it's a very high-design product, the components inside are intended for professional use, and not especially suitable for Apple-loving home consumers.

Apple radically re-imagines the professional desktop with the new Mac Pro, featuring a design that looks fantastic and offers genuine breakthrough advantages. But, consumer-level Apple enthusiasts should note that this product isn't specifically...

Apple Mac Pro review: How can something so powerful be so small?

Every so often Apple's design department puts together a piece of kit so incredible to look at, that it becomes an instant classic. The latest addition to this design hall of fame is, without a doubt, the new Mac Pro.

The new Mac Pro acts as a bit of a reminder as to what Apple is truly capable of. By going back to the design drawing board, it has created something so drastically different from the norm, that we can't help but be impressed.

Apple Mac Pro review (late-2013)

Packing a Xeon quad-core processor, dual AMD FirePro graphics cards and a superfast PCIe SSD, can IT Pro tame this beast?

Xeon power & AMD dual-graphics; Designed for use with 4K; Beautifully crafted inside & out; Quiet; Portable; Upgradeable

Expensive; Cables can get cluttered; No accessories included

If the Mac Pro was a sentient being, it would live by the mantra: Eat. Sleep. Conquer. Repeat. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re in the business of creating high-def multimedia or analysing large volumes of data you’ll struggle to find a better...
