CNET editors' review
Apple Mac Pro Dual-Core Xeon 5150 2.66 GHz
price range: $2,099.00 - $2,379.00
Apple's Mac Pro has design innovations that we hope will cross over to other systems. Its performance is as strong as you'd expect for a system in its class, and it's priced right, too. You might need more flexibility in your config options, especially for 3D design, but otherwise, the Mac Pro is as solid a professional-class PC as we've seen.
