World’s most beautiful PCs look ancient, obsolete and plain ugly in comparison. Why? Because considering the small size and the weight of the Mac Pro, the thing is a performance monster. For the first time, I watched the keynote presentation, checked out the promo videos and thought that if I ever decided to upgrade my PC, I should take a very close look at the Mac Pro. The Apple announcement for the new generation Mac Pro back in December of 2013, however, sparked my interest in Apple. Lastly, the cost was also an issue – for the price of a Mac, I could easily build a PC or buy one at half the cost. Second, having spent the majority of my adult life working for various companies and organizations, I took part in building PC and server networks based on the Microsoft OS platform, as Macs have just not been very popular in the corporate world. The first and the biggest reason was personal preference – having been “PC-savvy” for many years, building computers and providing support for them (whether it was for my family, friends or work), I was pretty content with what I had and never really had much interest in Macs. Although I have nothing against Apple in general, there were a number of reasons why I kept myself on the PC platform. Since then, aside from occasional encounters at local stores or friend’s houses, I have been keeping myself away from Macs. In fact, the last time I really handled a Mac was about 14 years ago, when I worked as an IT tech at the University of Colorado, servicing campus computers. I never thought that I would be reviewing an Apple Mac Pro, since I have never owned a Mac and was always a PC user.
