Filip Novotny Apple today announced the start of sales of the new Mac Pro. The second generation of the most powerful Mac will go on sale tomorrow, December 19, 2013. They will be available in the official Apple online store.
The new Mac Pro will offer an innovative cylindrical design as well as an eighth size compared to the previous generation. Up to a twelve-core Intel Xeon E25 processor and dual AMD FirePro graphics cards will be hidden in a chassis measuring 17 x 5 centimeters. There will be plenty of fast RAM and fast flash storage.
This workstation will also offer world-class connectivity. Apple decided to use its new Thunderbolt 2 technology and included it directly in six ports. It will also offer one HDMI 1.4 port, four USB 3, two gigabit Ethernet ports and Wi-Fi standard 802.11ac. As for external displays, the Mac Pro can handle three with 4K resolution.
Two versions of the Mac Pro will be available tomorrow in Apple's online store, both of which should be further configurable. The delivery date is not yet known.

[do action=”update” date=”19. 12. 9:55″/]Apple has just updated its Czech Apple Online Store, and anyone hoping to order a new Mac Pro on the first day and receive it before the end of the year will be disappointed. Although Apple opened orders today, 19/12, it lists January 2014 as the delivery date. In the US Apple Online Store, the date when the new Mac Pro will be available for shipment is December 30, so the question is how much later deliveries to Europe will be delayed.
So maybe there will be an update of the mini tomorrow.
they are preparing a mini update for January 16, 2014…. It will be great again!
It looks great, but I'm sorry that they buried the possibility of upgrading the GPU, or they don't offer an alternative on nvidia :)
Should the gpu be replaced or not?
Perhaps new thunderbolt displays will also be released.
I wouldn't expect an update of the mini, that would already be at the keynote and they will leave it for next year, but the new thunderbolt display could be, preferably in two resolutions (current and 4K) and the same design as the iMac.
An optional accessory is the Sharp 32″ PN-K321 – 4K Ultra HD. For 107kKc.
Well, the Apple Store is currently updating :)
so.. I still remember the amazed wow when Steve said- .. and its avilable.. NOW! and everyone in the hall could applaud.. for apple to introduce the vision in june, the computer started selling in december and reached users another month two late.. don't be mad at me.. that's crap..
Rather than crap, it's the only option they had. Apple, led by "someone", went down a path where they thought they didn't need pro users. So the polished Final Cut Pro X arrived, the Mac Pro update was waited for years like a mercy and nothing. I think that after all those years of tempering pro users, he pulled the lever somewhere and went full steam ahead.
Well, what now? We have nothing in hand and the people who are actually the core of the Apple community are leaving us. So they promised them something they didn't have in hand. They sent a message: we understand, wait, we're working on it.
So rather than crap, I'd rather appreciate Apple realizing this.
also the point of view :) personally, I think that in the corporation that Apple has turned into, a similar argument no longer applies.. I think that the priorities lie in the segments that bring significant income to Apple - iPhone and iPad.. I'm glad that they didn't write off the PRO, even though I have a new version reservations, it seems to me like the Cube of good memories - poor expandability and design above all.. I was hoping for more performance, new monitors and a more acceptable price, I guess I'm a little disappointed..
Priorities maybe, but the core of Apple is in applications and someone has to develop them on something... The price of the Mac Pro is absolutely adequate, but try to assemble similar components and you will be at least the same, if not higher, in price, not to mention that you will not even be able to combine some functions such as thunderbolt 2 on board, ssd speed. A very nice comparison about it was surprisingly live.
thanks, I'll definitely look and it's true, I just don't want to go back to the days when I built a station for 250t on the break and for graphics for 750t like back in 91
a terrible idea when today's mobile phones probably have a higher performance :-) Yes, I remember the price lists from AutoCont as boys we drooled over every page...
At the keynote, they explicitly said that this is an exceptional order that I want to please the professionals. Duvody wrote m2 well
Why does a 100 machine only have a 000GB HDD?? It's clear to me that it can be expanded, but still, is this some kind of joke?
256GB SSD on PCIe to be more precise.

So much for the price. Pretty surprising, isn't it?
