Mac Pro

Professional Apple desktop

Mac Pro is Apple's highest-end desktop computer, designed for professional users who need maximum processing power—video editors, 3D artists, software developers.

Unlike the compact Mac Mini or all-in-one iMac, the Mac Pro is a large, expandable tower with user-upgradeable components.

The current design resembles a cheese grater, which has become an affectionate nickname: The new Mac Pro looks like a fancy cheese grater.
