Tesla is known for its cutting-edge, high-end electric vehicles. The company, run by the charismatic Elon Musk, charges more for its all-electric cars than any other automobile manufactures. Similarly, Apple has built its brand by selling premium-priced products. It is sometimes called the Louis Vuitton of consumer electronics.
Apple’s latest top-end model of the Mac Pro, which went on sale in the US on Tuesday, is more expensive than a Tesla. In fact, the highest configuration model of Mac Pro costs $52,599 (Rs 37,213,68), which is way higher than the starting price of Tesla’s Model 3.
The new Mac Pro is Apple’s most powerful desktop computer – and the starting price of $5,999 is justified for those who want more power from a single machine. This is for the entry-level model, though. The cost increases as you opt for more RAM, storage and graphics. Without a doubt, customizing your Mac Pro can be very expensive. You can shell out optional $400 on wheels for easily moving the Mac Pro in your workspace.
*3.5GHz 8‑core Intel Xeon W processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.0GHz
*32GB (4x8GB) of DDR4 ECC memory
*Radeon Pro 580X with 8GB of GDDR5 memory
*256GB SSD storage
The desktop computer comes with Magic Mouse 2, Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, and a lightning cable. It does not, however, include the Pro Display XDR. That 32-inch Retina 6K monitor itself costs an additional $4999, though it doesn’t include an optional $1000 stand.
Apple will start delivering the Mac Pro from next week in the US. The tech giant will manufacture the next-generation Mac Pro desktop computer in Austin, Texas. The Mac Pro is the only device Apple is assembling in the US. Most of the company’s best-selling products, be it the iPhone, Apple Watch or AirPods, are being manufactured in China
