Mac Pro

The Mac Pro is a discontinued series of workstation computer and servers made by Apple from 2006 to 2026. The Mac Pro served as the high-end personal computer in Apple's lineup. Introduced in August 2006, the Mac Pro is the successor of the Power Mac line, using Intel Xeon rather than PowerPC processors. It shipped in a tower case carried over from the Power Mac G5. Updates added faster processors, memory, and graphics, alongside changed I/O and built-to-order options. In 2013, Apple released a significant revision to the Mac Pro, housing the computer components in a smaller, cylindrical design that eschewed internal expansion. Limitations of the cylindrical design prevented Apple from upgrading the cylindrical Mac Pro with more powerful hardware. The 2019 Mac Pro returned to a tower form factor reminiscent of the first-generation model. The 2023 Mac Pro was the last Apple computer to migrate from Intel processors to Apple's own M-series chips. It was criticized for its lack of GPU support or user-expandability compared to prior models, and for its high price premium compared to the similar performance configurations of the professional-oriented Mac Studio. Apple discontinued the Mac Pro line on March 26, 2026, and positioned the more compact Mac Studio as its successor.
