Mac Pro (8-Core) Review

My complete review on Apple's Mid-2010 Mac Pro (8-Core) model. This machine is definitely pricey, but it offers and the best workstation and lives up to its performance factor.

Two 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Westmere" processors
6GB of memory (DDR3)
2x 1TB HDD's
18x double-layer SuperDrive
ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB GDDR5

Are the price points of the new lineup Mac Pro's worth its price? Find out in the video, and don't forget to Subscribe to the channel =)

Hey applegenius! I really enjoyed the review. i gotta question tho. Peoples comments are talking about gaming on the mac. I thought that the Mac Pro was just like an insanely great computer with amazing specs. For like editing and stuff. Are there games on the Mac like "Crysis" and stuff. I never really understood. What do you use your Mac Pro for? is it gaming? thanks alot!

[AppleGenius0921]

@zztop5911 Not a bit of gaming, editing, heavy work, etc. What are you looking for?

[AppleGenius0921]

@FAKEBC Agreed - but you may just want to go with an iMac in that case - Mac Pro's are meant for Pro-Sumer users.

I love how worked up people get about the cost differences between mac's and pc's.

Nerd anger.

@RainbowDashSavior whats up with all the homophobic verbage man? There's no reason for that, this is 2012.

[SuperAppleFanatic1]

@RainbowDashSavior If you go to dell's website and build a WORKSTATION because that is what the mac pro is, it will be either as, or more expensive than the mac pro.

Macs are fucking gay. Pc has more features than mac. I could build a pc 1/3 the price of a mac with higher specs. Pc's only get viruses if you dont have an antivirus or if you dont know how to run it on a virtual machine. pc can run games. Macs are overpriced. Most software is designed to run on pc. Macs are for newfags. People that use macs are automatically marked as a douchebag. Most software available on a Mac is available on pc. Macs are for show offs.

Jumps out window to avoid flame war*

i am not a mac hater although i do use pc. the reason y i dont get macs is because i dont feel im getting the "bang for the buck." i understand that mac users are very satisfied with the "nice feel, the slick look, the great performance, well-developed software. etc" I do not disagree with any of this. even i, a pc user, acknowledge the fact that mac software is well-developed for the consumers and using a mac feels great. on the otherhand, if we look at the price range of the mac pro (the qu

@BubuSnow93 a used one that has a warrantee and upgraded. I do however agree with your argument that apple sells computers for a much higher price than there value.

[BubuSnow93]

@guynamedoliver It will be a reasonable price for a new mac, not for an used one ;)

OS X is a great Os (i've tried to make an hackintosh but not work with my HW), but Apple's computer have totally nonsense prices.

If that difference could be "reasonable" with Vista that really sucked, it's not with W7 that is a good OS.

[guynamedoliver]

@BubuSnow93 even so, it will end up at a reasonable price for a mac. did you look at the diagram I made for you?

[guynamedoliver]

@BubuSnow93 People buy things, upgrade, and sell for a cheaper price because they made money off of what thy did on the machine. And it has been a couple years. Also, here is the 26gb setup:

4gb 4gb

4gb 4gb

1 gb 1gb

4gb 4gb

What's so wrong with that?

@guynamedoliver it's an auction and 3 days still remaining...
