Apple’s powerful Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR arrive at last
It costs $400 to add wheels to your new Mac Pro
- By default the Mac Pro ships with stainless steel feet. And that’s what you should stick with if your machine is going to be stationary most of the time. They look a lot better.
- But for a meager sum of just $400, Apple will install four wheels on the bottom of your Mac Pro that make it easier to cart around.
Apple doesn’t want you defiling Pro Display XDR’s special glass with a regular cloth
- Apple sure likes having its own proprietary version of things it doesn’t deem quite good enough.
- The same is true of the new Pro Display XDR with nano-texture glass for the Mac Pro. No, we’re not talking about the screen itself; but rather Apple’s insistence that you clean it using a special Apple-approved cleaning cloth. But there’s a good reason for it.
Best of the year, part 2!
