The wait is nearly over: Apple unveils new Mac Pro
“Can’t innovate any more, my ass.”
Apple senior vice president Phil Schiller’s in-your-face statement essentially sums up what Apple thinks of the new Mac Pro, unveiled during a “sneak peek” at the Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday. Apple’s new desktop workstation isn’t just a powerful machine for the most demanding users, it shows that the company still takes the Mac and its product design seriously.
Apple’s new desktop workstation features a sleek, cylindrical design that’s a stark contrast to the mammoth, roomy aluminum tower initially introduced with the Power PC-based Power Mac G5 in 2003, and revised with the release of the Intel-based Mac Pro in 2006. Apple didn’t announce a formal ship date, stating that the new Mac Pro will ship later this year, nor did it talk about pricing or specific models. It will be made in the United States.
What the new Mac Pro has
The new Mac Pro case is about one-eighth the size of the Mac Pro tower. The entire top of the Mac Pro is a handle for carrying, and a motion sensor lights up to show the I/O ports. The new design, according to Schiller, is based around a “unified thermal core” to help keep the machine cool.
