Though we call them late 2013 Mac Pros, it took us until March of this year to receive our new entry-level Mac Pro (http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/). Apple released the redesigned Mac Pro near the end of last December, but high demand quickly pushed the systems’ estimated ship date to February 2014 and beyond. At $2999, the least-expensive Mac Pro features a single quad-core Intel Xeon E5 processor running at 3.7GHz, 256GB of PCIe connected flash storage, 12GB of RAM, and dual AMD D500 graphics with 2GB of VRAM each.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2107642/mac-pro-quad-core-review-a-good-investment-for-users-of-multi-core-mac-apps.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
