Apple's updated Mac Pro has finally landed, and as expected, it isn't cheap. While it starts at a vaguely reasonable $5,999, a few taps or clicks spirals this price up to $52,599.
Is the new Mac Pro overpriced? Not really.

But the most significant part of that hardware is, as you would expect, the RAM. Going from the base 32GB to the 1.5TB option adds $25,000 to the price, not including the fact that 1.5TB of RAM requires upgrading to the 24-core or 28-core Intel Xeon processors, which from the base price adds $6,000 and $7,000 to the amount, respectively.

And remember too that the Mac Pro is built in the US, not China, which no doubt pads out the cost a bit.
Is the new Mac Pro expensive? Yes. Is it overpriced? No.

I would have to win the Big Lotto to afford this.

I have no idea how I could use all this hardware even if I could buy one.
