Reading this review will take you a while. There’s a lot of detail, but that’s only a good thing.

While many people, mostly of the troll variety, will be running around the Web screaming “so expensive!” the new Mac Pro is anything but when considering what’s in the package. I joked on Twitter that Apple’s Mac Pro deal is this: “buy two discounted FirePro W9000 cards and get a workstation for free,” and that’s not an exaggeration. The AMD FirePro W9000 retails on Newegg for $3400, $600 under MSRP. Apple’s FirePro D700 is similar to this card, and the company ships two of them in the machine for $600 more than the D500 that comes stock with the 6-core configuration.

If you are at all considering the Mac Pro, go ahead and read the whole review.
