The very first Mac Pro orders have been shipped and are currently expected to be delivered on Friday.
Per MacStadium’s Brian Stucki, who ordered a couple 2019 Mac Pros when Apple began accepting purchases, his first unit is due to arrive a few days early on Monday, December 16th.
Apple’s initial delivery estimates were at one to two weeks after purchase, but orders placed now will not be delivered until December 31 to January 8 due to demand for the machine.
The new Mac Pro is geared towards the professional market and starts at $5,999 for the base configuration, the price rising with available upgrades. The unit features workstation-class Xeon processors with up to 28 cores, up to 1.5TB RAM, eight PCIe slots, 4TB SSD storage (soon to be 8TB) and dual Radeon Pro Vega Duo GPUs.
A fully equipped Mac Pro retails for over $52,000, with the price tag even higher for those who add Apple’s $4,999 Pro Display XDR, a 6K display that’s being sold alongside the Mac Pro.
In essence, it is the Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle from “A Christmas Story” and it’s hard not to want one, even with the moderate danger of shooting your eye out…
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
