Apple's Mac Pro (Late 2013) is a solid Apple Computer. Its design, is incredible how it all fits in one cylinder. Regardless what YouTuber Luke Miani says, I like this unit. It was the right price. It still can compete with some of the current Mac Pros and the modular design of the hardware makes for an easy after-market project if you wish to upgrade the RAM, Video Card, harddrive and Processor. Although Luke's review of this product does have some highlights and things to consider before buying. Once you upgrade the processor and RAM especially, you will find this unit is incredible. Operating at 12-cores for me, this unit can keep up with my music production using Logic Pro especially. I am still running it through its paces but so far I have not been disappointed. You will find that the canister design (or more affectionately called "trash can"), will save on desktop space as well as provide a dependable and powerful machine. Kudos to Apple for this design and thank goodness it has come down in price since its release on the market back in 2013.Read full review

I just got the basic late 2013 Mac Pro as I wanted to run Big Sur. I maxed the ram to 64gb, and though it’s understood that you can somewhat easily change out the processor, I will probably stick with my standard 3.7 Xeon quad core as I’m sure it’ll outperform the Mac mini late 2012 2.3ghz quad i7 that I used to have. Even though it’s a discontinued black cylinder “trash can” style, there’s been criticism where this was a design flaw I guess, even internally. I think it’s innovative especially with the big fan on top and having air vented up from the base. However, after a few days, here and there when streaming (and that’s after updating to the most current OS) this will crash at times. Nothing responsive, just have to hold the power down button. When I executed the power on self test, it all passed. Sometimes it’ll crash or be frozen the next day if you leave it on overnight. Anyhow, I mean I bought this used and supposedly refurbished. But it was dusty; unsure if that had anything to do with it. Nothing really happened with basic usage like browsing online and so forth. Just watching movies like Netflix off different browsers regardless if it’s chrome, safari or Firefox… it will crash once in a while. I have read the base config with the base graphic cards aren’t the ones with problems but in the midrange and higher configured graphics card. Well apparently I think IMHO it’s just this whole 2013 generation Mac Pro. It is possible, that it just won’t work will with the OSs that came out in 2020 and currently 2022, even though this mac is listed as being compatible. I’d say maybe it’ll run more flawlessly with an older os, especially from 2013-15. Just my two cents. Anyways I horribly sold this on offerup and only made a trade of a Samsung 2021 smartphone with 256gb option. It was either that or 450 cash. Not much of a value plus I’m avoiding selling on eBay and dealing with fees after fees. eBay wasn’t as it used to back in the 2000sRead full review

Pros; It is upgradeable SSD and RAM (128GB) compare the newer version sold by Apple it is up to the owner to decide which upgrade best suite its need. It is well design and compact that puts Apple as a leader in the world of computers. It has 6 Thunderbolt inputs and one HMDI input and four 3.0 inputs. You can have for Cons: Does not have a firewire input (IEEE 400 or 800 ForeWire). Must buy a Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter Part Number MD464ZM/A or a docking station with firewire connection.

If you're on the fence about buying one of these, do yourself a favor and go for it. It simply runs all my software incredibly fast and has been extremely stable running OSX Yosemite. It boots up/restarts faster than my previous machine woke up from sleep mode. The only thing slowing down the installation of my software was how quickly I could hit the next/I agree/OK buttons with my mouse. As a professional audio engineer, I know this computer will pay for itself in how much it accelerates my ability to be productive and how I can now totally focus on projects creatively without any worries if running out of computer resources, as I push my software harder than I could ever have imagined on my previous computer. And I haven't even upgraded the RAM yet! Count me as a happy camper with this 6-core Mac Pro.Read full review

Recently upgraded from my maxed out 2x 6-core 5,1. Upgraded the processor in here to the 2.7 12-core. Significant speed increase across the board and using an eGPU with a Sapphire RX580.
