“Still Want a 2013 Mac Pro? You Can Buy One Directly from Apple UK for £5,149”

Whereas we sit round and wait for Apple to lastly launch a brand new Mac Pro with Apple silicon (you promised, Apple), we can sit and reminisce about Mac Professionals of yore. (I do know, nothing will cease us from reminiscing even after Apple releases a brand new Mac Pro, however humor me.) And the one Mac Pro that Mac customers like to hate is the 2013 Mac Pro, affectionately referred to as the “Trash Can” Mac due to its resemblance to the receptacle and the sentiments of detestation customers had towards it.

However over time, these emotions have turned to appreciation, and possibly you’ve turn out to be so keen on it now that you just want you can purchase one. Effectively, we’ve got excellent news for you: You can nonetheless purchase a 2013 Mac Pro direct from Apple with a full one-yr guarantee. And better of all, you can pay for it in British kilos.

Are you offered? Then head on over to the Apple Refurbished and Clearance Retailer on the Apple U.Ok. web site. There you’ll find a 2013 Mac Pro for £5,149 (about $6,400 in U.S. {dollars}) with its blue Add to Bag button just screaming at you to click on it.

What does all that cash get you? A 12-core, 2.7GHz Intel Xeon E5, 64GB of RAM, 1TB SSD, and twin AMD FirePro D700 graphics processors with 6GB of GDDR5 VRAM every. This is the maxed-out mannequin that was out there when the 2013 Mac Pro was launched, and its authentic worth (which I truly wrote about nearly 10 years ago) was $9,599 within the U.S. So that you save practically $3,000!

One draw back, nevertheless: You can’t set up macOS Ventura on it since Apple stopped supporting Mac Professionals made previous to 2019. So no Stage Manager for you.

Apple’s refurbished merchandise undergo a “rigorous refurbishment course of previous to sale,” so this Mac Pro will certainly be in like-new situation, even in spite of everything this time. Apple even affords AppleCare for £299! Nonetheless, it appears like this U.Ok. retailer affords free supply and in-retailer decide-up solely within the U.Ok.–however in the event you name Apple with a bundle of money I’m certain cargo to the U.S. can be organized.

The 2013 Mac Pro would possibly be Apple’s most notorious Mac. Apple’s interpretation of a mini tower created fairly a stir with its distinctive cylindrical design, the quantity of processing energy in its compactness, and its lack of expandability. Apple finally returned to an expandable tower design in 2019, however the 2013 mannequin left an indelible mark on the business.
