Apple Mac Pro 2013 in 2024 - Apple Budget buys 

I would definitely love to see an Apple Silicon based Mac with this design. For me the Trash Can had one of the best designs Apple ever made but it was to early for its time and with the old Xeons and the Dual GPUs it could get very hot inside. I love my Mac Studio but seriously it’s just a Big Mac mini, not a very intuitive design though.

"You can see why Padmé didn't mind the age difference" Hahahahahaha that totally made my day 🤣

I just purchased one for 263.51 pounds that had 32 GB of memory, D500 video cards, and 1TB SSD. I got it for nostalgic reasons but I get a kick out of buying something as you stated for less than 10% of the original cost, still can do work on it in 2024.

THIS and OCLP is a great couple

How fitting, Apple the evil empire! Dig your videos, they relax me. Btw i'm a Mac user since 2002 and own six different Macs and Books.

I would like to buy it?

The Mac Studio basically is the next version of the trash can with Apple Silicon

I’ve been running my channel on a MacPro 6,1. It’s fast enough for me. Mine has the d500 graphics cards, I upgraded to 64 gb ram, and swapped the Processor to a 3 GHz, 10 core Xeon E5 (technically, it never was offered in a 6,1.). But it runs great! I had 512 gb SSD from the factory and I didn’t feel the need to upgrade the SSD. SUPER FAST for an old Mac. I’m running Sonoma 14.6.1 with OCLP… just about perfect. The only thing that is buggy is sidecar with my iPad. But that has not been a big deal at all.

Didn't last very long ? Only 6 years, from Dec 2013 - Dec 2019. Mac Pro (Late 2013) has been on sale for the longest time of all Apple products, and that is unfortunate because it is revolutionary bad product: CPU - already out of date in 2013. GPUs - only one od 2 is used for GFX, other is used for OpenCL - ONLY. Cooling - terrible, all components are cooled with 1 heatsink and 1 fan. Apple launched repair program for Late 2013 Mac Pro because of video Issues affecting lots of customers.... To upgrade anything beside RAM you need to completely disassemble it. Horrible product ! 2010 - 2012 Mac Pro is much more capable product and still hold its value better then trachcrap.

it came with the xeon e5 v2 1680 3.0ghz 3.9 turbo...stock 8 core processer before the upgrades

i actually want it to play just couner strike 2 and do office programs would you recommend it?? btw awesome video man!!

I just got one second-hand, previous owner has upgraded the internal SSD to a 2 TB Samsung Evo NVME. I need the storage and prefer for it to be internal, especially with faster read and write times. My next option (for a similar price) would have been to buy a used M1 Mac Mini and use external drives connected via current gen Thunderbolt but with both it ends up being more costly. I also like that it has more peripherals and while Thunderbolt 3 would have been preferable to 2 (if only it had come out 1 year later!), the latter still has decent transfer speeds. The GPU doesn’t bench well compared to later single-core ones, but for the renders I do it is way better than my 2017 MacBook Pro.

I’ve had mine since new, have changed the internal ssd, maxed out the Ram and even picked up the 12 core cpu for about £100. As of today it’s been a great machine and I have had zero problems with it. Purchased a new thunderbolt dock and a 4tb ssd this weekend, this isn’t working though, using the Apple adapter but still no joy. I would say the only let down of owning this Mac is trying to find thunderbolt 2 peripherals for it.

Hi,its really fast today,I put 64 gbs oem apple memory..Xeon e5 v2 2667 3.3ghz 4.0 turbo cpu upgrade,and a samsung 980 pro 2 tb m2 ssd,with a sintech adaptor,and my black magic score is 1549 read...1425 write..blazing fast.the 2667 ghz 8 core is Good.my 2013 mac pro was like 740 write.and 785 read before these upgrades...lol

Literally picked up a 6 Core unit with Dual AMD FirePro D500 graphics and 32 gb of ram for $150 and it's in amazing shape. I really like it!!

Is that the MacBook Air M2 15" in the background on your stand?

Been considering getting one for awhile now.

6:48 actually you can configure it up to 128gb

A used Mac Mini M1 is the same price and waaaay faster 😅

How many times did you check your watch during the video?

Got the 8Core D700 for $200 and I love it for Music Production alongside my six thunderbolt displays Crazy cheap power house Cheers
