Apple Mac Pro - Audio & Music Pro Buyer's Guide #1

Описание: This Machine isn't for everyone and every application, but for those who need the extended Memory capacity, the mega PCIe expansion all packaged into a silent self- contained silver beast.. watch and read on while I share some information using my usual mellow, on-the-fly approach...

(Also - possibly my most insightful, non-complainy Mac video yet!)

NOTE: The information in this video are my own personal opinions and viewpoints and should be treated as such. Do your own research from multiple sources before spending your money on a tool, and make sure it aligns with your software & hardware requirements & compatibility.

ALSO IMPORTANT:

If you're a student or teacher - don't forget to take advantage of the Educational pricing. It's usually up to 10% off.

If you're a corporation you may be eligible for business pricing, which is also less than list.

Also, take a look at what Apple has listed on their refurbished store. Fully warrantied at a reduced cost and you can STILL add Applecare for a 3-year warranty. So it's essentially a new machine!!

Honourable Mentions:

Check out the Caldigit TS-3 PLus if you need a Thunderbolt 3 Hub
Check out the Blackmagic Multidock 10G if you want to keep your 2.5" SATA SSD's external but easily integrated
