Mac Pro - Small Package, Big Price

摘要

Since the introduction of the Power Mac G5 in 2003, Apple has been using essentially the same huge (approx. 20 × 8 × 19 in, or 51 × 20.5 × 47.5 cm), rectangular aluminum case. Desktop Macs have also been almost ridiculously heavy. The 2012 Mac Pro 12-core model, for example, tipped in at nearly 40 lb (18 kg). All that changed last year. The late 2013 12-core machine is cylindrical, with a height of 9.9 in (25 cm) and a diameter of 6.6 in (16.7 cm); its weight has been reduced to just 11 lb (5 kg). Opinions are mixed about its appearance'(which is not as dark as it looks in publicity photos), but it does look like something that you would want to keep on the desktop instead of parking under your desk.
