Apple Mac Pro review

Verdict

Beautifully engineered and constructed, the Mac Pro is also the fastest PC we've ever seen by some margin

Overall Rating

PCPRO Recommended

It's a shame the pure-Windows world can't come up with anything as well integrated as the Mac Pro. As it is, the drawback of using the machine under XP is that none of the workstation apps you want to run will be ISV-certified under what's still a beta implementation of XP on a Mac. It's hard to totally recommend a machine costing almost £5,000 that won't be running in a "fully supported" mode. But if this isn't a problem for you, the Mac Pro is one of the fastest, best-designed and best-engineered workstations on the planet.
