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 PowerPCprocessors. 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.
