The key takeaways from Apple's March 8 event were that the M1 Ultra would be last of the M1 chips and that a Mac Pro with Apple silicon is definitely in the offing. The return policy isn't fit for this situation since I *should have known* I was buying a lemon - shame on me.3D Printing, 5G, Accessory, AI, Alder Lake, AMD, Android, Apple, ARM, Audio, Benchmark, Biotech, Business, Camera, Cannon Lake, Cezanne (Zen 3), Charts, Chinese Tech, Chromebook, Coffee Lake, Comet Lake, Console, Convertible / 2-in-1, Cryptocurrency, Cyberlaw, Deal, Desktop, E-Mobility, Education, Exclusive, Fail, Foldable, Gadget, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S, Gamecheck, Gaming, Geforce, Google Pixel, GPU, How To, Ice Lake, Intel, Intel Evo, Internet of Things (IoT), iOS, iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone, Jasper Lake, Lakefield, Laptop, Launch, Leaks / Rumors, Linux / Unix, List, Lucienne (Zen 2), MacBook, Mini PC, Monitor, MSI, OnePlus, Opinion, Phablet, Radeon, Raptor Lake, Renoir, Review Snippet, Rocket Lake, Ryzen (Zen), Science, Security, Single-Board Computer (SBC), Smart Home, Smartphone, Smartwatch, Software, Storage, Tablet, ThinkPad, Thunderbolt, Tiger Lake, Touchscreen, Ultrabook, Virtual Reality (VR) / Augmented Reality (AR), Wearable, Wi-Fi 7, Windows, Workstation, XPS, Zen 3 (Vermeer), Zen 4
Overall, sad experience and now my Christmas present to myself is holding down paper on my work desk. In addition, having a maxed out unit doesn't mean it won't be slower than your original 2017 iMac, this new Mac Pro has noticeable lag issues for having 1000 cores and lots of RAM. I have 100$ of products per port attempting to convert the port.although it seems okay in concept, yet to be proven to work. Going from TB2 to USB-C requires a NASA degree and I graduated high school. I would be much happier if they offered a solution to this, but that is not the case. Not being a computer guy, had no idea of the limitation I was buying into when I purchased my pretty brick.
My problem is that the listing is not direct or clear that Thunderbolt 2 has been phased out and that the 6 ports available are nearly useless. I looked at the newer ones, but loved the concept of a maxed out older Mac Pro. So when I needed a new Mac for my 3D modeling business (yes I SHOULD be a computer guy), I came to OWC. DecemI appreciate OWC, I think they do a great job of providing a spread and competitive pricing. Verified Buyer Reviewer: Not a NASA Engineer I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from Apple Mac Pro (Late 2013 - 2019) 3GHz 8-core Xeon E5-1680v2 - Used, Very Good condition. I hope to get many years of service from this! Thanks OWC! I work and live in the macOS world and I'm pleased overall with this machine compared to previous Macs. For the model year, it has decent connectivity and after a Time Machine restore I was up and running with no issues. I know OWC didn't make the computer, so no complaints with them. While this model is a good performer, I still feel the performance should be a little better for the price point. This unit arrived with some deep scratches and other wear typical of this vintage, but otherwise works well. This Pro arrived in good time and was packed extremely well. OWC had very competitive prices on 2013 Pros and offered good support, as well. I then remembered OWC from iFixit articles and my earlier Mac years. One online auction site had them, untested and as-is, and for ridiculous prices. Rating: 4/5 Finally - some performance from macOS! FebruAfter using much older Macs for years, I grew tired of the graphical performance and started looking at Mac Pros.
