The Apple Mac Pro has an updated operating system in OS X Leopard (10.5), and boasts enough power to help you read, write, arithmetize, reply, send, surf, and strategize to your heart’s content.

Boasting TWO Dual Core Xeon 2.66 GHz processors, you won’t notice that the Mac Pro only has 1 GB of RAM. Feel free to design that website, trade show exhibit, or 3D environment without so much as a hiccup. The NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT may not be the powerhouse GPU that’ll render seventy gazillion polygons in half a second, but is plenty for both the average and expert business user alike. Transferring files to and fro is as fast as ever, whether using either of the gigabit Ethernet ports, or one of the two FireWire 800 ports.

The Mac Pro is a good choice for all your business-related needs, both for its relatively low price, and above-average upgradeability.

A quad-core desktop PC that runs Windows XP - and Mac OS X too! Two PCs in one with no performance compromise make this surprisingly good value.

Mac-using professionals who've been holding their breath for 9 months can finally exhale. The new Intel Xeon-powered Apple Mac Pro is a worthy successor to the Power Mac G5 and its variants.
