SAN JOSE, California. – Apple today announced the launch of a new Mac Pro desktop computer, the first new product in this range since 2013.

The new Mac Pro offers a very different design from the cylindrical "trash" design of the latest Mac Pro, released nearly 2,000 days ago. This new model has more of a tower design that is a closer analog to the Mac Pro Pro cheese grater models that existed before the last machine. It has stainless steel handles to move the unit as needed, and a set of "feet" steel on the bottom. Apple says that both sides of the device can be open to users.

It can use over 300 watts of power and comes with a large heat sink cooling which, according to Apple, will allow the device to "run continuously without strain." It has eight internal PCI slots, including four double-wide slots, three wide single slots, and one end slot with two Thunderbolt 3 ports, two 10-GB Ethernet ports, two USB-A ports, and a 3.5-mm audio jack.
