Mac Pro is the professional desktop computer reinvented from the inside out. Engineered around workstation graphics with dual GPUs, PCIe-based flash storage, high-performance Thunderbolt 2 I/O, new-generation Xeon processors, ultrafast memory, and support for 4K video, the new Mac Pro delivers state-of-the-art performance across the board.
Mac Pro 2013 Packaging
Before you even get the New Mac Pro 2013 out of the box you can already begian to appreciate the attention to detail that Apple is famous for.

Every detail in the packaging is thought out thoroughly, even the security tape the seals the box.
Once you get past the styrofoam packaging the shiny black cylinder awaits you.
Mac Pro 2013 Design
The Mac Pro is a charcoal gray cylinder that stands about 10 inches high and reflects back a distorted, slightly menacing view of the world.
A cutout at the top of the cylinder creates a lip that acts as a handle.

Mac Pro 2013 serious improvement over the old model
There are plenty of Windows-based workstations, certainly, but none are quite this small or quite this portable (many aren’t quite this quiet, either). The new Mac Pro is a serious improvement over the old model in every way, and is likely worth the upgrade
