Impressive multi-core performance
Dual workstation-class GPUs
Fast internal storage
Plenty of external-expansion options
Compact
Attractive design
Quiet and relatively cool
Many internal components upgradeable
Can covet. As Ferris Bueller said
'If you have the means
I highly recommend picking one up.'
Revolutionary design
Extremely quick and responsive
Whisper quiet
Easytoaccess internals
Pricing for workstation-class GPU options
Affordable relative to similar configs offered by competing workstation vendors
CrossFire enabled in Boot Camp so you can get very good gaming speeds
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
With a
Impressive multicore performance
Dual workstationclass GPUs
Plenty of externalexpansion options
Dramatic departure from boring
Boxy designs. Powerful performance thanks to Intel Xeon E5 processor and dual AMD FirePro graphics. Supports multiple simultaneous 4K video streams
And a wealth of external expansion options. Lots of ports
With 6 Thunderb
Umer/home studio
Generous number of Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3.0 ports
Forwardlooking component package
Superbly engineered
Beautiful
Yet practical design
Incredible system bandwidth
Outstanding connectivity
Classleading value for money
Excellent performance. Virtually silent
Even under heavy loads. Ample ports for expansion and connecting accessories
Including four USB 3.0
Six Thunderbolt 2
An HDMI
And two Gigabit Ethernet ports. Can support up to three 4K displays or six Thunderbo
Single-core performance not substantially better (and sometimes worse) than that of other current Macs
No internal expansion options
Higher-end configurations quickly get expensive
Kludgey 4K monitor support
External expansion may clutter your desk
You probably don't need all this power
Even if you want it
Expensive upgrades
No keyboard/mouse included
Some low OpenGL results for the FirePro D700 in OS X need to be addressed
Reliance on external devices for PCIe expansion increases cost and has some short-term compatibility implications for some
Lack of Nvidia GPU option and CUDA problematic due to Ap
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
Singlecore performance not substantially better (and sometimes worse) than that of other current Macs
Higherend configurations quickly get expensive
Expensive
Even for an Apple product. No internal access to processor or graphics cards. Warranty is relatively short
Price tag not for faint of heart
IMac outpaces Mac Pro in some areas on paper
Performance dependent on app optimization
Few Thunderbolt 2 peripherals at this time
Whopping
000 base price — and that doesn't include the 4K or HD display(s) you're going to want to pair with it. Mouse and keyboard sold separately. No optical drive
No extra space for graphics cards or bays for hard drives — but that's the Apple way
Needs better app support
Needs software tuning to get performance right
Very expensive
Runs a little warm
And can take a while to cool down
Many apps still need to be optimized to take advantage of two GPUs
MacBook Air is the lightest and thinnest; MacBook Pro with Retina has the best spec for your money
The entry-level price of the MacBook Air no longer looks so attractive when compared to the entry-level Retina model; Retina MacBook Pro is heavier than the Air
We know that a lot of people are attached to the CD and DVD but we think that sacrificing the optical drive for a slimmer, lighter laptop is a good move on Apple's part. The big difference is the inclusion of Thunderbolt 2 on the Retina MacBook Pro, ...
The Mac Pro's performance is stellar. It boots up to OS X Mavericks in a mere 6sec, takes around 3sec to shut down and 2sec to wake up from sleep
Unfortunately, the Mac Pro will not power up without its casing. So, you cannot marvel at the machine's interior while the Mac Pro is on. Maybe Apple should consider a transparent casing
The latest Apple Mac Pro, with its excellent amalgamation of form, function and finesse in computing terms, is going to change how people look at desktop computers....

Diseño compacto que va bien en tu escritorio, El Mac Pro más poderoso a la fecha, Puedes jugar Diablo III mientras se se renderea un video
Pocas opciones para expandir el equipo a futuro, Más puertos de expansión no vendrían mal
El Mac Pro es un equipo formidable , tanto en diseño como en prestaciones. Es notable el modo en que Apple logró meter tanto poder en un equipo tan pequeño y mantenerlo estable en momentos de exigencia. Tal vez esté limitado en cuestiones de personaliz...

…mais pas radicalement supérieures à celles d'un iMac pour de nombreuses tâches, Cartes graphiques efficaces, mais bien moins puissantes que les D700 pour les applications GPGPU

Machine très élégante, Performances de haut niveau, Refroidissement extrêmement efficace
Cartes graphiques sous-exploitées pour le moment, Il faut jongler avec les ports Thunderbolt dès que l'on utilise un écran 4K, Ports USB 3.0 qui ne font rien d'autre que de la figuration

Le Mac Pro est donc non seulement un bon choix pour ceux qui ne trouvaient pas assez de puissance avec le tout-en-un d'Apple ou avec son 15 pouces Pro, mais aussi une machine de référence – même en terme de rapport qualité prix – sur le marché des station...

Anche potendoselo permettere, acquistare un Mac Pro per navigare su internet sarebbe ovviamente una scelta sbagliata, perché non si noterebbe nessun vantaggio neanche rispetto ad un MacBook Air. Essendo una workstation è una macchina nata per i carichi d...

Il nuovo Mac Pro portato da Apple sul mercato rappresenta, come la Mela ben è abituata a fare, una rottura degli schemi e dei legami con il passato che permette di dare vita ad una workstation di nuova concezione, sia dal punto di vista prettamente costru...
