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
Abstract: Abbiamo strapazzato il Mac Pro per un weekend intero: non è la prova definitiva, ma abbiamo raccolto abbastanza dati per un primo giudizioPartiamo da un presupposto. Il nuovo Mac Pro, esteticamente, può piacere o non piacere, e sul suo design si è detto u...
Design spettacolare, ampie possibilità di configurazione, espandibilità eccellente, performance al top
Non è per tutte le tasche, capacità di archiviazione interna limitata
Tutta questa potenza e flessibilità ha un prezzo, ovviamente, che sale e non poco soprattutto quando si vuole espandere la capacità di archiviazione interna o si vogliono implementare soluzioni RAID esterne, come anticipato.Dopo un'iniziale scoraggiamento...

Basis-Mac-Pro oder iMac? Wie so soft entscheidet hier das Anwendungs-Szenario. Der bessere Allrounder ist zweifellos der iMac. Ruckzuck ist er aufgebaut, angeschlossen und betriebsbereit. Von der Leistung her bietet er zudem genug Power, um auch anspruchs...

wenig Speicherplatz, Beschränkt aufrüstbar
Im Test beeindruckt der neue Mac Pro mit Spitzen-Performance und einzigartigem Design. Der edle Alu-Rundling ist zudem flüsterleise und pfeilschnell beim Videoschnitt mit Final Cut Pro. Allerdings gibt's die starke Kombination aus Style und Performance n...

Sehr cooles Design, hohe CPUund Grafikleistung, bleibt sehr leise, viele Anschlussmöglichkeiten
Kaum intern aufrüstbar, hoher Stromverbrauch im Ruhezustand, sehr hoher Preis
Der Mac Pro macht seinem Namen alle Ehre. Er ist was für Profis. Besonders im Bereich Videobearbeitung wird er aufgrund der brachialen Rechenleistung in Final Cut Pro X schnell Freunde finden. Toningenieure freuen sich sicher über die moderate Geräuschkul...
