Apple gives the Mac Pro a little love – very, very little love.




While Apple updated their entire line of notebook computers today at WWDC, Apple did very little to refresh their desktop computers. The iMac and the Mac mini, contrary to rumors, received no update today, and the name “Mac Pro” wasn’t even uttered once at today’s keynote.

Despite this, Apple saw it fit to give the Mac Pro a (very) slight upgrade. Specifically, the Mac Pro’s get a small processor bump, with the base configuration now getting a 3.2 GHz quad-core processor, 6GB of RAM, and a 1TB hard drive for $2499. A second configuration has two six-core 2.4 GHz processors, 12GB of RAM, and a 1TB hard drive for $3799. The third and final configuration has a 3.2 GHz quad-core processor, 8GB of RAM, two 1TB hard drives, and OS X Lion Server for $2999.

The Mac Pro’s see no other upgrade, making it the only Mac Pro now with no Thunderbolt port. It also did not receive the USB 3.0+2.0 port that the computers updated today received.
