Apple Ars has reviewed the new Mac Pro. "The performance of Harpertown and Stoakley is more evidence that Intel is doing right by Apple, and this eight-core monster is a worthy successor to the Mac Pro name. At USD 3599, it's expensive; the USD 800 cheaper 2.8GHz model will likely be adequate for the majority of users. But if you want maximum performance and a machine that's unlikely to show its age anytime soon, the Mac Pro is a good buy."

Read the comments here and then reconsider how many percent of the readers here are professionals. ;-))

If you aren't interested in any reviews, as you buy and try out everything yourself, why are you commenting on this story?


Touche.

Some people are really strange. They actually take the time to OPEN a stoy, read through the comments and then, at some point, add a comment saying how stupid XX site is to publish YY story because of ZZ.

Why would anyone do that? I'm not very interested in a lot of things that pass through OSNews, but when that happens, I just don't even pay attention to the link.

I, for one, am looking forwards on replacing my Macbook Pro with a Mac Pro and this article (the Ars Review) is all I was waiting. I'm not subscribed to Ars, but I knew that OS News was going to link it someday. So I found this link particulary useful.

I have to admit that the Review was not very Ars like. They should've compared the 2.8 Eight core instead of 3.0 as it is what most of the people are getting as far as i've seen.
