The Legendary ‘Trash Can’ Mac
The refurbished Mac Pros are made between 2013 and 2019 and are the incredibly powerful “trash can” Mac Pros that got a lot of attention when they were released (for all the wrong reasons).
Although it looks like a very expensive trash can, it’s one of the most powerful Intel Macs Apple ever made.
Some highlights of the Intel Mac Pro are:
- Lots of RAM Capacity – Supports up to 128GB of ECC memory for memory thirsty graphic design software, CAD software and video editing work.
- More Ports Than a Mac Mini – Enjoy 6x Thunderbolt 2, 4x USB 3.0, dual Gigabit Ethernet – perfect for wired high-speed internet connections and peripherals such as Thunderbolt Drives and other external SSD drives.
- Dual GPUs for 4K Editing & Rendering – Optimized for video editing software like Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, and DaVinci Resolve, making multi-stream 4K video editing a breeze.
- 4K & 5K Display Support – Run up to three 4K displays at 60Hz and even get 5K output workarounds for ultra-high-resolution setups. Check out our look at the best 5K monitors for Macs and Apple Studio Display Alternatives for a sample of monitors to match it with.
- Upgradable Storage – Unlike modern Macs, the SSD isn’t soldered, meaning you can upgrade to high-speed NVMe storage for even faster performance.
- Runs macOS AND Windows via Boot Camp – Unlike Apple Silicon Macs, the 2013 Mac Pro natively dual-boots into Windows, making it an ideal choice for those that don’t want to use a virtual machine and install Windows natively with Boot Camp.
As you can see, even this is an Intel Mac, there are many good reasons to buy one.
Check out our full lowdown on why we think Intel Macs are are still worth buying for more reasons.
