Apple is using Subaru Imprezas with old garbage-can Mac Pros to map the US

[ad_1] Typically, one person drives the car while the other operates the EyeDrive system — an iPad equipped with the EyeDrive app, which provides routes and driving instructions. The vehicles must be driven in perfect weather conditions, and they must start capturing in the morning when the sun is at 30 degrees and drive until […]

OWC’s cheap Mac Pro wheels are still pretty expensive

[ad_1] If you balked at the $400 extra to configure a Mac Pro with wheels (let alone the $699 to buy the kit after the fact), OWC is coming to your rescue. The company is taking pre-orders (via MacRumors and The Verge) for a Rover Pro wheel kit that will normally cost $250, and are […]

Apple’s 16-inch MacBook Pro gets a 5600M GPU option with HBM2 memory

[ad_1] Apple is gearing up for WWDC with a pair of hardware upgrade options for pros. To start, the 16-inch MacBook Pro now has the option of Radeon Pro 5600M graphics with 8GB of speedy HBM2 memory. It’s reportedly up to 75 percent faster than the 4GB Radeon Pro 5500M (thanks in part to 40 […]

Bloomberg: Apple plans first ARM-powered Macs in 2021

[ad_1] As Bloomberg reports, though, moving away from Intel will be difficult. The first Apple-designed chips will have 12 cores: eight high-performance ‘Firestorm’ cores and four energy-efficient ‘Icestorm’ cores, according to the business-focused publication. Like the iPhone and iPad, these chips will be based on ARM architecture, rather than x86. As we’ve seen with Microsoft’s […]

Apple finally offers a reasonably priced graphics upgrade for the Mac Pro

[ad_1] Apple has teased the prospect of a more affordable GPU upgrade for the Mac Pro for months, and now it’s finally here. As 9to5Mac noticed, you can now configure the Mac Pro with one or two Radeon Pro W5700X video cards, each with 16GB of memory. They’re still not cheap upgrades at $600 and […]

Apple dives deep into specs for the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR

[ad_1] Apple also makes some suggestions as to what to get. You’ll want more than the base 32GB of RAM to make full use of the six memory channels (why Apple didn’t start at 48GB is baffling), but you’ll want to avoid maxing out the memory if bandwidth is crucial — the higher latency of […]

Apple’s rackmount Mac Pro is now available

[ad_1] The system starts at $6,499, or $500 more than the standard tower. Like before, though, the price can quickly spiral upward depending on your needs. Max it out with a 28-core Xeon, 1.5TB of RAM, dual Radeon Pro Vega II Duo cards, 8TB of SSD storage, an Afterburner card and a Magic Mouse/Magic Trackpad […]

Engadget Podcast: The Mac Pro and Apple’s return to great hardware

[ad_1] This week, Senior Editor Devindra Hardawar and UK Bureau Chief Mat Smith explore who may need a $52,000 Mac Pro (it’s not as crazy as you think!). And when taken together with the 16-inch MacBook Pro and the AirPods Pro, they discuss what this means for Apple’s hardware prospects. Is this a sign that […]

Logitech made a $200 webcam for Apple’s $5,000 pro display

[ad_1] The webcam is capped at 30 frames per second when you’re using the full 4K resolution, but Logitech touts automatic light adjustment with HDR as well as tilt adjustment. You should be properly exposed and in-frame even in a dimly-lit production studio. You can also expect dual noise-cancelling mics. And no, you don’t need […]

The most expensive new Mac Pro configuration costs $52,599

[ad_1] What do you get for that cash? Well, the 2.5GHz, 28-core Intel Xeon W processor adds $7,000 to the price, while upgrading to 4TB of storage costs another $1,400. (Apple says it’ll offer an 8TB SSD eventually, but that’s not available yet.) Right now, the top-of-the-line graphics option is two Radeon Pro Vega II […]
