Thunderbolt PCIe chassis finally (sorta) officially support external GPUs making the Mac Pro a little less necessary. Apple officially dropped the 1,1 - 3,1 Mac Pro support, although (some) of the Mac Pros can be hacked to run current OSes. Regardless of what the new Mac Pro looks like, we're nearly at the end of the road for the classic Mac Pro.

The cMac Pro (Classic Mac Pro) remains as the high water mark of Apple professional computers, easily besting even the G3/G4 era computers which made for very upgradable CPUs, GPUs, and RAM (thanks to the famed folding door design and CPU daughter cards). Little did we know, the trashcan design was a multiplane metaphor, not only as an ode to planned obsolescence but to Apple's opinion of Pro users as it even failed to capitalize on providing modest updates, the computer that was meant to be replaced but without replacements. If you want my personal take, you can read it here.Īpple finally announced a new Mac Pro after the failed 2013 Mac Pro. Like many, I had quite a few thoughts about the Mac Pro 2019. If you'd like to read the old intro, click the show old intro below. Now, with the era of the Intel Mac coming to a close, there's a slightly poetic quality that classic Mac Pro, the pinnacle of modular computing, will be there to see its end. Apple Silicon's future is bright but under the shadow of right-to-repair. The dedication to these computers is as much of a testament to their success as much as it was to Apple's misteps and inability to offer an affordable heir. Apple still offered a practical, user-servicable that was as beautiful on the inside as the outside. The Mac Pro 2006 - 2012 represents a high water mark Apple, an era unburdened by the preoccupation of iOS and the trappings of planned obsolescence or it's self-indulgence of $1000 monitor stands or $10,000 smart watches.

This guide's intro has changed multiple times over years as the landscape has radically altered for the Mac and after four years my perspective has changed. It has been continuously updated for over four years and will continue to be updated as long as there is a community to make new discoveries. This is less a how-to guide/manual than it is a roadmap to primary sources by other brilliant people, written to be accessible to both new and advanced users. The information is out there but knowing what is possible, what questions to ask, and where to find it isn't nearly as easy. The largest/most-complete guide to all possible classic Mac Pro upgrades covering OS, Firmware, GPU, CPU, Storage, USB and Network upgrades.
