The Mac Pro is Apple's most powerful desktop computer ever, aimed at high-end professional users who need ultimate performance and expandability. This is the workstation of choice for most professional graphic designers, repro houses, video editors and publishers and it's really designed to run the very demanding applications used in these areas. If you just want to browse the internet or do word processing then a Mac Pro is not the right machine for you. If you want very fast processing power, massive storage and specialist graphics and video capabilities then read on.
Mac Pro can be configured with different processors - Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Nehalem” or 6-core “Westmere” and can have one or two processors, giving up to 12-core power. RAM is expandable up to 64GB and disk storage can be up to 8TB in the 4 internal drive bays which take either conventional hard drives or solid-state drives which are up to twice as fast and these drives can be configured as a RAID array for fault-tolerance and improved performance.
