JL: I worked on the Mac Pro as an editor. Our review unit, screen included, costs $11,812.
Throw in the 32-inch Sharp 4K monitor that Apple recommends, and spending $12,000 or more isn’t hard to do. That’s $8,099 of Mac Pro kit, and a couple of other small upgrades will run you right up near $10,000. But that’s only the beginning: our review unit has an eight-core, 3GHz processor, along with 64GB of RAM, a 1TB drive, and FirePro D700 GPUs. It’s definitely got a military vibe that’s a little unnerving.įor $2,999, the base price of the Mac Pro, you get a quad-core 3.7GHz Intel Xeon E5 processor, 12GB of RAM, two AMD FirePro D300 graphics processors, and a 256GB solid-state drive. It’s so straight, so shiny, so metallic - it reminds me of an oversized bullet waiting to be shoved down the barrel of some terrifying novelty sized shotgun. John Lagomarsino, Director / Editor: The design is sleek, but after working next to it, I can’t help but feel there’s something sinister about its unassuming looks. Thunderbolt’s grown slowly over the last few years, but Apple’s drawing a line in the sand: peripheral makers will use it, or they’ll be left behind. Apple sees the Mac Pro as the hub for all your accessories and add-ons, not the one box to hold them all. But they all require particular hardware, and there’s virtually no upgradeability here â that’s what Thunderbolt is designed to be. Slide off the case, and you can easily access the Pro’s RAM, hard drive, and GPUs. Below the lot is the power adapter, which sits flush with the edge when it’s plugged in there’s no big power brick to lug around, just a single black cable. Between glowing borders that illuminate when you spin the tower around are four USB 3.0 ports, six Thunderbolt 2 jacks, two Gigabit Ethernet slots, speaker and headphone jacks, and an HDMI port. The Pro’s many ports and jacks have all been confined to the rear of the device, on the one panel not covered by the glossy case. The Mac Pro’s insides are beautiful, its outsides almost ominous

What follows is a mix of their thoughts and mine, as we hooked up a Mac Pro and decided to find out what the future of professional computing looks like.

Our director / editor John Lagomarsino and Regina Dellea, our post-production coordinator, have both spent many hours with the new PC over the last several days. The Verge Video team has been waiting for a new Mac Pro too, with a long list of hopes and wishes for the new model. Luckily for us at The Verge, there’s a whole crew of those people right in our office.
A lot of those bets have to do with 4K and the future of video, because that’s who this machine is for: people who make videos for a living. With a starting price of $2,999, it’s the beginning of a new era for Apple, a careful bet on what professional users will want and need in the years to come. Now, just in time for Christmas, Apple has released a new Mac Pro with new hardware and a radically redesigned body. Hope that even as it had overhauled Final Cut to the dismay of so many of its most dedicated users, Apple still cared. Hope for the first truly rethought version of the Mac Pro since it was introduced in 2006. “We’re working on something really great for later next year.”Īfter years of seemingly neglecting Apple’s most hardcore, highest-paying users, a 2012 email from Tim Cook finally gave people hope.
