About this product

Product Information

If you are seeking a desktop computer that is suitable for both business and personal use, the Mac Pro A1289 from Apple is a solid choice. This Apple Mac is a high-performing machine that offers the benefits of speed, efficiency, and connectivity in one system. The large amount of memory built in provides ample storage for documents, software, programs, and more. This MacPro also supports complex graphics for games and video, allowing you to use this computer for entertainment as well as business. The Mac Pro series of desktops from Apple are especially good for business functionality, and they are great for gaming and home use too. The Mac Pro A1289 features an eight-core processor setup that consists of two quad-core Intel Xeon processors that run up to 2.26 GHz each. The Xeon Quad processor is capable of a 2.53 GHz turbo boost for extra speed. It also supports "hyper threading," which lets you run multiple different threads at the same time on each core. This provides incredible speed and efficiency, allowing you to operate multiple functions at once or have multiple tabs open without your computer lagging. The Intel CPU is paired with 6GB of SD DDR3 ECC RAM operating at 1066 MHz and a hard drive consisting of 500GB of HDD memory plus 256GB of SSD memory. You will experience amazing graphics with the AMD Radeon HD 5770 GPU that has a graphics memory of 1GB. The GPU also contributes to speed while preventing video processes from slowing or crashing your computer. The equipped optical drive is an 18x dual-layer Super Drive. The hardware is supported by the Mac OS operating system, which has an efficient interface and a user-friendly feel. This model of Mac also allows for ample connectivity with a number of ports and connections available. There are five USB ports total and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. The designers at Apple have eliminated the Firewire 400 ports and now have four Firewire 800 ports for even faster transfer rates. There are two Mini DisplayPort ports that allow you to connect multiple displays to the tower as well. If you are interested in how you can upgrade this Mac many possibilities exist. There are additional RAM slots, four PCIe slots (one is a free PCIe 2.0 x 16 slot and two are free PCIe 2.0 x 4 slots), and of the four 3.5-inch direct attach drive bays that will support extra memory drives, three are free by default. Do-it-yourself upgrades are made much easier with the processors and memories placed on a removable "tray." With the dual 2.26 GHz quad-core processors on the Mac Pro by Apple, you will experience speed and efficiency, even when running multiple applications. The 500GB hard drive holds all the information you will need, plus you will have room for videos, games, software, and other files. The Mac Pro A1289 from Apple is a versatile and powerful computer for handling design programs, digital editing, visually rich online games, and much more.

  • Great Upgrade

    This machine has all I need at a price I can afford. Lots of RAM & HD space, a Superdrive plus a BlueRay drive allows for lots of possibilities. For the first time in years I have access to the latest Mac OS. Now to embark on the path towards upgrading my abilities!

  • Wish I had one of these from the start

    The Mac Pro is a well thought out piece of art. I like the fact that it's modular and expandable. Hard to believe a machine from 7 years ago is still such a desirable machine.

  • Lightweight with great features.

    This mac pro is great to keep backups and storing files. If you are a previous apple user the ease of use is great. The mac pro 2 a1186 works fast and quiet and still can be used for internet browsing. Its bigger and bulkier than a regular desktop but it still has great value.

  • An a awesome workhorse computer, and highly customizable

    I'm so happy that I switched to this 2009 MacPro. I do music production, and my beefed up 2012 MacBook Pro was starting to lag. This Mac Pro, now gives me some scalable upgrade options, and the 8-core CPU didn't bat an eyelash at the processor heavy tasks, my music puts it through.

  • Oldie but goodie

    Used for video editing. Old hardware still plenty relevant. Usb3 card, ssd, and modern-ish video card breathes new life into it, too.

  • The beast!

    There are some blemishes but they noted that in the description, that would be the only knock. If this was wood it would be like adding character. I added a GTX980Ti, some dell r710 memory, and 2 PCIe SSD drives. Dual booting OSX and Windows 10. This machine rocks!

  • Modern mac

    I upgraded this machine to El Capitan and it works flawlessly. So for Less than 500.00 I have a modern Apple set-up that blows the doors off of Windows. It's funny though, My windows laptop started to act more civilized when the Mac arrived, it must be jealous!! (lol).
