Apple's Redesigned Mac Pro Workstation Opens for Orders December 10th
Apple officially reveals that its completely redesigned Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR monitor are available to order starting December 10th. The high-end desktop starts at $5,999, though fully loaded configurations push the price significantly higher.
Apple notifies eager customers that its completely reworked Mac Pro workstation and the Pro Display XDR monitor are available to order starting December 10th. The base model of the Mac Pro starts at $5,999, which includes an eight-core Xeon processor, 32GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, and Radeon Pro 580X graphics. While Apple keeps quiet on specific configuration details, buyers know that costs spiral upward quickly if they need heavy-duty performance.
Professional users who require maximum power face staggering upgrade costs, particularly if they intend to max out the system's massive 1.5TB RAM ceiling. Fortunately, owners still have the ability to upgrade the memory and storage themselves after purchase. This do-it-yourself approach provides a small financial relief for professionals who need to expand their capabilities over time without paying Apple's premium upgrade prices.
The companion Pro Display XDR monitor starts at $4,999 for the standard glass version, while a nano-texture glass option that reduces glare without a traditional coating costs $5,999. The infamous monitor stand sells separately for $999, though a $199 VESA mount offers an alternative for different setups. Apple targets this expensive display at professionals who normally buy reference monitors in the five-digit price range, making the steep accessory costs seem trivial by comparison.
