  Apple Mac Pro
  By Neil Bennett
  
  Review summary: Those who've been involved in buying creative workstations for many years might be surprised to find that Apple's model is the least expensive in this group test...
  
  Pros: Eight processor cores; low cost.
  
  Cons: Limited RAM reduces performance dramatically; poor keyboard.
  
  Verdict: Thankfully Apple has kept the Mac Pro's own design the same, as it includes some excellent internal systems, including removable RAM trays and push-in hard drives that make adding more memory or hard drives very easy indeed

  Pros: Dual enhanced quad-core processors; faster memory and frontside bus; doubled PCI Express specifications; faster video cards; strong storage options.
  
  Cons: Limited storage and RAM on default model.
  
  Verdict: And one of the base model's most attractive features is that it's just that: a great base upon which to build a truly fearsome-fast machine. If you're a multimedia pro-videographer, professional photographer, or audio pro-the Mac Pro is the machine you wa
