SPECS FOR 2018 MAC PRO PRO
Those of use who bought a 2013 Mac Pro (and maxed out our credit card) will never (I surmise) be able to afford the 2019 Mac Pro as a personal Mac. The whole discussion, however, is both a testament to the power of the 2013 Mac Pro, its design, and also how a 2018 Mac mini can come close in performance five years later for about half the Mac Pro’s original retail price. And the price he paid was right: US$1600. He’ll no doubt be pleased with the Mac Pro’s myriad of ports and elegant design. In the end, Peter von Panda has his own criteria and budget. Apple’s 2018 MacBook Pro refresh offers strong CPU performance and blazing fast SSDs worthy of the Pro name, but could use longer battery life and more ports. Still a formidable computational machine in 2018. (With OpenCL support.) Depending on one’s workflow and mission critical apps, a Mac with only DDR3 and Thunderbolt 2 can still be very capable and cost-effective.įor as long as it works and as long as Apple supports it. The MacBook Pro 'Core i5' 2.3 13-Inch (Mid-2018 True Tone Display, Touch Bar, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) is powered by a 14 nm, 8th Generation 'Coffee Lake' 2.3 GHz Intel 'Core i5' processor (8259U), with four independent processor 'cores' on a single silicon chip, 128 MB of eDRAM embedded on the processor die, and a 6 MB shared level 3 cache. The “trash can” 2013 Mac Pro is still a formidable computational machine, especially the 8- and 12-core models. Apple increases base model specs for 5,999 Intel Mac Pro.
The trade-offs here, however, are fascinating. Confirmed in April by Apple itself, the 2018 Mac Pro will be a major refresh of the product line. But, as they say, buy the computer you need and can afford when you need it. And I tend to agree. Buying a 2013 Mac in 2018 is fraught with potential problems.
