Pics of Apple’s New Intel-Based Mac Pro
August 6th, 2006 at 3:00 PM - WWDC by Bryan Chaffin
SAN FRANCISCO -- Apple announced the long-awaited Mac Pro Monday at its annual World Wide Developer Conference. The Mac Observer was on hand for the keynote from Steve Jobs (see our live WWDC keynote coverage for more information), and we were able to take the following images of Appleis new Intel-based pro desktop systems.
To the casual observer, they will appear to be the same unit as Appleis Power Mac G5 due to their resemblance on the outside. A closer look, however, shows that there is more room inside the units, more drive bays, and an entirely look and feel to the inside of the unit.
