It’s finally here and we ordered one. We’ll be giving you a show and tell and a thorough test, including the use of multiple DAWs, as soon as it arrives.
After what seems like a year, the new Mac Pro has finally been released by Apple. You can order it now on Apple’s Online Store. Two configurations and their prices were already known but for those that have been biting their finger nails waiting for it to arrive, it is now clear what the build to order options and corresponding prices are. Just for fun, the most expensive Mac Pro configuration that you can make, with a 12-core CPU, dual D700 GPU, 64 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of PCIe Flash drive, will set you back a measly $9,599 Here’s an overview of the different prices for the build to order options.
