Mac Pro
From £5,499
Aimed at creative pros, Apple’s high-end desktop has always been designed to deliver as much power and flexibility as possible.
Ironically, the previous ‘trash can’ Mac Pro proved to be a design dead-end, and so Apple came up with this – a stainless steel and aluminium tower that’s almost infinitely configurable – you can even add wheels if you want to.
If the price at the top makes you wince, that’s just the start – prices ramp up inexorably once you get beyond the standard spec – even adding a set of wheels will set you back £400, while adding six 128GB DDR4 EEC memory cards costs £14,000. Given that you can fit everything from a 28-core Intel Xeon W processor to 8TB of SSD storage that’s not a surprise.
