The Mac Pro 2019 finally hit the streets on Tuesday, December 10, 2019. What is it? Apple's new dedicated desktop.This isn't a computer made for the average consumer, as you'll find the spec and price to be far in excess of what you’ll likely need – and can probably afford. In fact, Apple is targeting the new Mac Pro 2019 at production crews and serious creators. That's always been the case with Mac Pro configurations – it's going to be an investment for everything, which also means that it’s not for everyone. Naturally, the new Mac Pro 2019's companion screen is sold separately, as is the color-tweaked keyboard, mouse and trackpad. That does come with the 28-core Intel Xeon-W processor, 1.5TB of RAM and a 4TB SSD, but that's still a lot of cash. However, if you really want to pack the computer with the heaviest hardware in the game, it's going to set you back a whopping $52,748 (£47,588, AU$84,778). This monitor will set you back monstrous $4,999 (about £3,950, AU$7,270) for the standard version, and $5,999 (about £4,730, AU$8.720) for the Nano-texture equipped version. These specs all combine to deliver a new technology Apple has dubbed Extreme Dynamic Range or XDR, the next generation of HDR. This monitor is able to produce stunning images, as well, thanks to its 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Apple achieves this by using a unique lattice cooling pattern on the back of the display in order to maintain 1,000 nits of brightness at all times – with 1,600 nits of peak brightness. This 32-inch 6K display comes with a Nano-Texture surface meant to reduce reflections without affecting the overall image quality.Īdditionally, because every single LED is calibrated at the factory level for HDR, Apple is able to deliver high-dynamic range like never seen before.
