The New Mac Pro: A Love Story

The new Mac Pro is a beautiful machine. Gone is the old, bulky tower of a body, and in its place is a gorgeously simple cylinder shape, with a gloss finish and curved edges your fingers will want to caress.

But Apple's new starlet is a little more selective than you might think about who gets to configure her startup disk. So, who is good enough for Mac Pro? Is she looking for a classic egghead type, or someone who has the apps that can challenge her?

Several suiters are vying for her eight-core 3.0GHz heart. She could choose the impossibly thin MacBook Air. Or perhaps she'll pull a Juliet and abandon her family for a PC. While her final answer may be an unexpected one, Mac Pro's soulmate was simply love at first byte.
