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.

Microsoft has recently been cleaning up some longstanding Windows 11 pain points, including parts of the Start menu and Search. According to a new report from Windows Latest, the company is also preparing several useful changes for the new Outlook app on Windows 10 and Windows 11, which became generally available in 2024.

Microsoft is adding a warning for users who start replying to an older email after a newer response has arrived in the same conversation. The alert is meant to stop people from replying without seeing the latest information in the thread.

Google just changed how it grades the AI models you use for Android coding
Android Bench has a new testing framework and eight new models, so the rankings you remember are now out of date.
Android Bench featured.

Google just changed how it measures which AI models are best at writing Android app code, and the update has shuffled the rankings developers use to pick their tools. The company's Android Bench leaderboard, which launched in March, now runs on a new testing system called Harbor. Google says this replaces the older, more generic testing tool it used before, and gives a better read on how models perform on real Android tasks, like updating old code to Jetpack Compose or handling wearable device networking.

New models shake up the top of the list

ChatGPT is coming for one of Google’s smartest Chrome features
OpenAI brings ChatGPT to Chrome to challenge Google's Gemini Side Panel
OpenAI

OpenAI is expanding ChatGPT beyond its website with the launch of a new Chrome extension that can understand the contents of the webpage you're viewing. The extension allows users to ask questions about a page, summarize articles, explain complex concepts, and even kick off longer AI-powered tasks without leaving their browser.

The move positions ChatGPT as a direct competitor to Google's Gemini in Chrome, which introduced similar context-aware browsing features earlier this year. While both tools aim to bring AI directly into web browsing, they take slightly different approaches to productivity and automation.
