“Despite the recession, Apple is not neglecting its high-end Mac Pro range, for those users who demand the ultimate graphics and performance power. The mid-2010 refresh brings us three new models,” Ian Osborne reports for T3.

“This 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon here is the entry-level release, but for those who need even more power, there [are] also Mac Pros featuring two 2.4GHz Quad-Core (£2800) or two 2.66GHz Six-Core Xeon (£4000),” Osborne reports. “All can be custom-configured if you buy from the Apple Online Store.”

Osborne reports, “The graphics have received a welcome boost too. The Mac Pro’s new ATI Radeon HD 5770 is up to five times faster than the standard graphics cards offered by the previous Mac Pro generation, and even outperforms its speediest configure-to-order option… All in all, the new Mac Pro is an excellent machine. Fast, configurable and attractive, it’s everything a Mac should be.”
