Is the Mac Pro really for professionals?

The Apple Mac Pro late 2013 was released in well late 2013 but has it just become an over priced consumer product read on to find out.


Video Editors


The 6-core version of the Mac Pro seems to be the sweet spot for this computer and it will do you just well for video editing or music production.Video editors will not be able to take full advantage of the operating system unless you just prefer it as Sony Vegas will not be able to run on the system, but Final cut pro is always an option.


Music Producers


You will be able to record vocals without loud fans spinning in the background and you will have a very small computer,  although it is 10 pounds / 4kg in weight which shouldn't be to much a problem; you also a legal version of Logic pro to use. 


The Average Consumer


The average consumer will not be able to take full advantage of the mac pro as you will not get any internet extras and it will still only run 4k in 24 / 30 hz.You could build a pc for a quarter of the price and the same even more power. But if you insist on Mac the Apple Mac Mini or the Apple iMac will do you just fine.


Overall the Mac pro is a great product but it really doesn't match up to the other PC's and Hackintosh out there.

For all of your amazon need click on.
