The technology server FCP.co was one of the first to get a new one Mac Pro and already 24 hours later he brings his first impressions of using this Mac with a futuristic design. One might expect that the editorial office would have a basic model of Mac available, but the opposite is true and in fact the editorial office has a modified Mac Pro with an 8-core Intel Xeon with a frequency of 3 GHz, 64 GB ECC RAM, 1 TB Flash storage and dual AMD Fire graphicsPro D700 with a total of 6GB GDDR5 graphics memory.

At the beginning, however, we learn information regarding the exterior and benchmarks, and thanks to this, the words are confirmed Applu that the computer is extremely quiet. According to FCP, it is even so quiet that it is drowned out by an external drive or an air conditioner. They are also an advantage miniature dimensions of the device, thanks to which it fits on most tables or TV vans. We're also learning that it's no problem to have this Mac placed on a table in a landscape position, which is why we can expect additional stands from third-party manufacturers in the future. The cooperation of the new Mac is also very good Pro with Final Cut Pro 10.1, which came out at the same time as PC. Mac Pro in fact, it doesn't have the slightest problem rendering RED 4K video and, as it turns out, there is no framedrop even after adding several effects.

One of the more problematic factors can be the outer cover of the computer. It is very shiny and therefore the surrounding environment has an effect on its appearance. The editors even compare it to Arnold Schwarzenegger trying to hunt the Predator in the jungle. A color that may initially appear to be black is actually a deep dark gray according to FCP. The air comes from the top of the computer and when you put your hand to this part, you will feel a breeze and not a rush of hot air that could replace the radiator. This is mainly taken care of by a special chip for heat regulation inside the computer, which switches the computer to sleep mode in case of overheating. Users will encounter this, for example, if they place a book or other object on top of the computer. The positive news is that the device is so small that it is not a problem to carry it in a backpack, on the other hand, it does not contain a security slot like other computers.

Apple today delivers Mac Pro with a black power cable, but on the other hand, it still sold pure white Thunderbolt cables for some time. However, that changed, and shortly after the start of sales, black Thunderbolt cables also appeared in the store's offer. Will the black keyboard also appear later and Magic Mouse, is questionable, but we do not think that this would happen. Another notable point of the review is the speed of the hard drive. The computer contains PCIe Flash storage, which should have a Read/Write speed of up to 1.25 GB/s. Benchmarks in this review show that the drive can perform write speeds of up to 985.5 MB/s, while reading speeds of 880.2 MB/s.
