The completely redesigned Apple Mac Pro, which was unveiled earlier this year, will begin shipping tomorrow.

This past June, Apple took the wraps off the newest Mac Pro, which got a cylindrical makeover reminiscent of the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. (Or a New York City trash can.) In addition to the fact that it resembles an iconic sci-fi movie entity, the revamped Mac Pro will sport a slew of new gear as well, aimed at video editors, photographers, musicians, and similarly creative folk.

Depending on what configuration you opt for, the Mac Pro will ship with a 3.7 GHz quad-core Intel Xeon processor, or a 3.5 GHz six-core Intel Xeon CPU. On top of that, you’ll get 12GB or 16GB of RAM, dual AMD FirePro GPUs and a 256GB SSD. You’ll also be able to hook up a trio of 4K resolution monitors. Ports include Thunderbolt 2, USB 3.0, HDMI 1.4, and a pair of Gigabit Ethernet connectors. Wireless connectivity will come in a pair of flavors: 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.0.

The refreshed desktop will also be significantly smaller than its predecessors, with measurements of 9.9 inches tall and 6.6 inches thick, effectively attaining small form factor status. None of this will come cheap though. The entry level Mac Pro carries a price tag of $2,999.99.

What do you think of the new Mac Pro? Will you be ordering one? Sound off in the comments below.

Does the Apple Vision Pro come with a battery?

Apple's Vision Pro is now available for purchase, but you might be wondering what's included at the starting price of $3,500 and if its battery is sold separately. Given that there's not a battery inside the headset itself, that's a good question.

Along with the actual headset, the base model of Vision Pro does include a battery, plus: a charger, 5-foot charging cable, front cover, top strap, light seal cushion, and polishing cloth. That means you get everything you need to start using Apple's exciting new spatial computer as soon as it arrives in the package.
