Mac Pro (late 2013)
Apple's radical break from the tower: a 25 cm black cylinder built around one thermal core, with every expansion slot moved outside into Thunderbolt 2. Assembled in Austin, Texas, from December 2013.蘋果對塔式機箱的徹底重新想像:以中央三角形「熱核心」為中心、25.1 厘米高的亮黑色圓柱體,所有擴充插槽都移到機外的 Thunderbolt 2。2013 年 12 月起於美國德州奧斯汀組裝。
Phil Schiller's line about Apple not being able to innovate any more introduced it in 2013. At 25 cm tall it took about one-eighth the volume of the tower it replaced.Phil Schiller 在 2013 年發表會以一句「Can't innovate any more, my ass」介紹它。機身僅 25 厘米高,整體體積約為它所取代的塔式 Mac Pro 的八分之一。
The Mac Pro (late 2013) — model Mac Pro6,1 — was unveiled at WWDC in June 2013 and shipped on 19 December 2013. It abandoned the aluminium tower completely for a 25.1 cm glossy black cylinder built around a central triangular thermal core, with one large fan drawing air up through the machine. Because there were no internal expansion slots, every option moved outside: six Thunderbolt 2 ports, four USB 3 ports, dual Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI 1.4 and support for up to three 4K displays. Assembled in Austin, Texas, it started at US$2,999. Apple did not replace it until the 2019 Mac Pro returned to a conventional tower.Mac Pro(2013 年末,型號 Mac Pro6,1)於 2013 年 6 月 WWDC 發表,同年 12 月 19 日上市。它徹底放棄鋁合金塔式機箱,改為 25.1 厘米高的亮黑色圓柱體,圍繞中央三角形「熱核心」設計,由單一大風扇把空氣由底部抽上。由於機身再無內部擴充插槽,所有擴充都移到機外:六個 Thunderbolt 2、四個 USB 3、雙 Gigabit Ethernet、HDMI 1.4,並可同時推動最多三部 4K 顯示器。機身於美國德州奧斯汀組裝,入門型號售價 2,999 美元。蘋果一直未有後繼型號,直到 2019 年 Mac Pro 回歸傳統塔式機箱。
