Apple WWDC 2006 Keynote - The first Mac Pro introduction

The very first Mac Pro, introduced at WWDC 2006 by Phil Schiller.
Thanks to the switch to the less power consuming and less heat producing Intel processors, a lot of room became available for more hardware, for example more harddrives and a second optical drive.
With the introduction of the Mac Pro, Apple completed the transition to Intel processors it began in january 2006.

Back in the day when Apple was a computer company.

If only Apple had this much love for professional, user-upgradeable Macs now in 2018...

I am so happy with my Mac Pro 2009 4.1. I have flashed it to 5.1, upgraded to dual 5690's with 128 GB of RAM, 2 TB NVME Drive running Monterey via Open Core Legacy Patcher, RX580 Graphics card and twin 8 TB Drives in a RAID 1 setup that I use as my Plex Server. It is my Desktop and Server in one package . . . I could not want anything more.

Remember when the Mac Pro wasn’t 20,000 dollars

[@Antphoneigh]

This video is actually from the future. They're announcing the new 2019 MacPro.

[@bolttracks]

Remember watching this when I was in high school. Amazing to see both these monumental transitions happen.

I have had mine since 2008 and these machines are the best on the market. I used to switch out my old PC every year and a half. The MAC PRO is a monster.

[@user-xr3rb6pn9m]

I like it how they consistently avoid the word "cheap" in all their presentations :)

[@jondonnelly4831]

Still a lovely case design. I can see people swapping in ARM power into this.
