Apple has a catalog of some of the most powerful and best-designed devices available to mankind. From iPhones, iMacs to top-of-the-line Mac Pros, the company has something for everyone. However, not all of their products check the box when it comes to affordability. This is especially true for its highly customizable desktop computing solution, the Mac Pro.
Available in tower or rack, the Mac Pro starts from an expensive Rs 4,99,990 and can go up to high prices depending on the hardware you choose. If you’re curious like us, you can head over to Apple’s new online store that opened just today, and build yourself a new Mac Pro and configure it to your liking.
In our case, we took the opportunity to put the best that Apple has to offer in a rack-mounted Mac Pro, which was actually priced at Rs 53,43,200. For the price, we built a great setup with a 2.5GHz 28-core Intel Xeon W processor capable of Turbo Boost up to 4.4GHz, 1.5TB (12x128GB) of DDR4 RAM, two Radeon Pro Vega II Duo GPUs with 2x32GB of memory. HBM2 each, 8TB SSD Storage and some other accessories.
This we could add without the price of a new included Pro Display XDR added. The Pro Display XDR that Apple is selling for Rs 5,29,900 is obviously the recommended choice for a high-end display if you’re building a top-of-the-line Mac Pro with everything, buy the kitchen sink.
To remind our readers, the Pro Display XDR is a 32-inch 6K LCD screen that can achieve 1,600 nits of peak brightness, with 1,000 nits of sustained brightness from a full-array local dimming backlight comprised of 576 special blue LEDs. . It supports 10-bit true colors and the full DCI-P3 color gamut, and Apple says it can achieve a million-to-one contrast ratio using certain industry-standard test patterns.
Needless to say, we did not comply with the purchase, as our grand total for the purchase with Mac Pro, Pro Display XDR and required Vesa and Pro support plus Apple Care + for both devices dropped to a sweet Rs 60, 59,700.
