Is becoming more expensive
The latest Mac Pro was available in this country 18. December in 2013 in two configurations. A quad-core Intel Xeon E5 processor, 12 GB memory and 256 GB SSD to 25 990 million. The top model was launched with a sekskjerners Intel Xeon E5 processor, 16 GB memory and 256 GB SSD storage. The price at the time was at 34 990 million.

Both models are still for sale and costs now respectively 33 990 and 44 990 million.

John Kheit, a staff writer for The Mac Observer, stated last fall that Apple have been bad at updating everything else a price. The time recommended him to buy a Mac Pro from 2010 and upgrade it instead of the latest model.

– Poor users of the Mac trash can (like the Mac Pro is called) has been forced to live like animals with a rat’s nest of external drives, cables, PCI crates (because people still need the expansion card) – all of these things are big and bulky, complained the Mac to the writer at the time.

According to the Luminair cost of the upgrades he did around 1000 dollars, approximately 8700 million with the current course.
