This is the new Mac Pro. [credit: Samuel Axon ]
Apple has emailed its customers notifying them that its new Mac Pro desktop computer and accompanying Pro Display XDR will be available for order starting tomorrow, December 10. However, the company has not yet revealed when units would actually ship to buyers or any details about build-to-order configuration pricing. This news came around the same time that records of FCC approval of both tower and rack-mount configurations of the Mac Pro surfaced.
The Mac Pro is Apple's attempt to answer six years of complaints about the 2013 Mac Pro. The 2013 version was not as customizable as some users wanted and which bet on a video architecture that did not pan out for segments of the computer's target audience, such as video production professionals. The new device is a sort of middle ground between the Mac towers of yore, which could house certain industry-standard components that users could select themselves, and the company's current focus on proprietary hardware. Users will be able to purchase modular upgrades made specifically for the Mac Pro, made by Apple and its partners.
The Pro comes with eight PCIe expansion slots and offers anywhere from 8 to 28 cores, plus memory up to 1.5TB and 12 DIMM slots. Pricing starts at $5,999, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see how much various upgrades add to that.
