The cheese-grater Mac Pro is no more, but Apple will still sell you an old one

The Mac Pro is gone from Apple's main store, but a shrinking window of certified refurbished units gives professionals one last chance to buy direct from Apple.

In a rather disappointing announcement, Apple officially pulled the plug on the Mac Pro on March 26, 2026. You cannot find the system on the company’s website anymore, at least not where it used to be. If you ask me, it’s a cold send-off for the machine that once defined what professional computing meant. 

The product page now redirects visitors to the general Mac homepage. However, you can still find one if you are okay with a used one. At the time of writing this story, Apple’s Certified Refurbished store has 17 units still quietly listed and available for purchase. They include both tower-style desktops and rack-mount builds.

Can you still get your hands on a Mac Pro?

The cheapest used Mac Pro (tower-style) costs $6,289.00 and features the M2 Ultra chip with a 24-core CPU and 60-core GPU. There’s another one (rack-mount) with the same chip but a 24-core CPU and a 76-core GPU that costs $8,239.00.

The most expensive one, meanwhile, goes north of $10,000 for a tower-style unit with the same chip, a 24-core CPU, and a 76-core GPU. 

Neither figure is easy on the wallet, but for professionals who specifically want easy PCIe expansion — something that the Mac Studio still can’t replicate — this may be the last opportunity to buy one directly from Apple. 

The refurbished unit comes with Apple’s one-year warranty

The device comes with Apple’s standard one-year limited warranty, the same coverage it provides for brand-new devices. For your own peace of mind, you can also add AppleCare+ or AppleCare One coverage during checkout. You also get a 14-day return policy and free delivery. 

In my frank opinion, Apple’s refurbished stock won’t last long. Once these units are sold out, Apple has made it abundantly clear there won’t be any more. The company has already confirmed it has no plans to offer future Mac Pro hardware. 

If you always wanted to get a Mac Pro, and you’re okay with getting it as a refurbished product from Apple, this is probably your last chance to get one.

Windows 11 is getting a new Screen Tint mode, and your eyes might thank Microsoft
Users can apply custom color overlays to reduce screen intensity and visual fatigue.

Microsoft is testing a new accessibility feature for Windows 11 called Screen Tint, and it could be one of those small additions that make a surprisingly big difference. Instead of changing your display's color temperature like Night Light, Screen Tint applies a customizable color overlay across the entire screen, making bright displays easier on the eyes during long work or gaming sessions.

Apple blamed memory costs for your price hike. Its proposed solution involves a Pentagon blacklist.

A few days ago, Apple announced an ugly mid-cycle price hike, blaming the worsening-by-the-day memory crisis. According to the Financial Times, the company is now lobbying the government for approval to buy memory chips from a Chinese company. 

The company in question is CXMT, a Chinese chipmaker that the Pentagon added to its Chinese Military Company blacklist for alleged ties to the Chinese army.

As iPads get pricier, Motorola’s Pad 70 Pro arrives as a solid option… just not for US buyers yet
Great specs, a stylus in the box, and no US launch date: the Moto Pad 70 Pro sounds both impressive and disappointing.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

If you don’t know about Apple’s recent price hike, which affected all the products in its lineup except the iPhone and Apple Watch (for now), you’ve got to be living under some sort of a rock. The revision made all the iPads much more expensive. 

Motorola, however, has just launched a 13-inch tablet that actually sounds good on paper. It’s called the Moto Pad 70 Pro, and it costs around $440 for the baseline model. The catch, however, is that the device isn’t available in the US yet.
