Apple silicon has arrived to the Apple Mac Pro. Now featuring the M2 Ultra 24-Core CPU, the Mac Pro allows creative professionals to tackle the most demanding workflows with speed and efficiency. Combined with a 60-Core GPU and 192GB of unified RAM with 800 GB/s of memory bandwidth, the Mac Pro has the performance of seven Afterburner cards built-in. The media engine in the M2 Ultra can handle up to 22 streams of 8K ProRes video. The 2TB SSD allows for fast boot and load times.
Upgrade the Mac Pro with ease, thanks to its six PCIe Gen 4.0 slots. There are two PCIe Gen 4.0 x16 slots and four PCIe Gen 4.0 x8 slots. There is also a half-length PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 slot that is occupied by the Apple I/O card. Speaking of I/O, the Mac Pro features eight Thunderbolt 4 ports, all with 40 Gb/s data throughput and DisplayPort support. Connect to the internet via the dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN jacks or go wireless with Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax). Bluetooth 5.3 allows you to connect compatible devices wirelessly.
The Mac Pro comes with the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad and the Magic Mouse. All you need is a display to get started. You also don't have to stop at one screen since the Mac Pro can support up to eight 4K 60 Hz displays, six 6K 60 Hz displays, or three 8K 60 Hz displays.
Please note that this Mac Pro features a rackmount design with airflow-maximizing 3D lattice and stainless steel handles on the front and tool‑less stainless steel slide rails in place of feet or optional wheels.
This Mac comes preloaded with macOS. Updates can be downloaded for free via the Mac App Store. Please check Apple's website for upgrade eligibility.

The M2 Ultra is built from two M2 Max dies connected through UltraFusion, which is Apple's custom-built packaging technology. UltraFusion uses a silicon interposer that connects the dies with more than 10,000 signals, providing over 2.5 TB/s of low latency interprocessor bandwidth. UltraFusion's architecture enables the M2 Ultra to appear as a single chip to software. This means code doesn't need to be rewritten to utilize the extreme performance of the M2 Ultra.
The 24-Core CPU of the M2 Ultra consists of 16 next-gen performance cores and eight next-gen high-efficiency cores, delivering up to 20% faster performance than its predecessor, the M1 Ultra. Combined with a 60-core GPU and 192GB of unified RAM with 800 GB/s of unified memory bandwidth, this Mac Pro has the performance of not just one, but seven Afterburner cards built-in. It also features the industry-leading media engine, allowing playback of up to 22 streams of 8K ProRes video.
Combine Apple silicon performance with the versatility of PCI expansion. The Mac Pro features six PCIe Gen 4.0 slots, which provide twice the bandwidth for audio and video I/O, networking, and storage cards. There are two double-height PCIe Gen 4.0 x16 slots, two single-height PCIe 4.0 x8 slots, and two double-height PCIe 4.0 x 8 slots. There is also a half-length PCIe 3.0 x4 slot that is occupied by the Apple I/O card.
The Mac Pro offers a wide array of connectivity, starting with eight Thunderbolt 4 ports, which support up to 40 Gb/s data transfer rates and DisplayPort. There are also two HDMI ports that support high-bandwidth 48 Gb/s HDMI, enabling resolutions up to 8K and refresh rates up to 240 Hz. The two USB-A ports can handle legacy USB devices while the 3.5mm audio jack provides headphone support. There are also wireless connectivity enhancements, such as Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.3. You can also opt for a reliable, wired connection via the dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN jacks.
The Mac Pro maintains its unique stainless steel space frame, removable aluminum housing, and advanced thermal system. The chassis is solid and stable. And thanks to the power efficiency of Apple silicon, the Mac Pro runs even cooler and quieter under heavy workloads.
Thousands of pro apps are optimized for Apple silicon. Because macOS was designed to scale with Apple silicon, the M2 Ultra brings a huge boost in app performance and capability to Mac Pro. And there are thousands of apps optimized to unlock the full power of Apple silicon. From rendering effects to compositing 8K scenes to analyzing enormous data sets, your go-to apps run faster and smoother than ever.

The Mac Pro was designed with the environment in mind, including 100 percent recycled rare earth elements in all magnets, and 100 percent recycled gold plating and tin soldering in multiple printed circuit boards. The Mac Pro also uses far less energy than desktop computers in the same class, and over 40 percent less than the ENERGY STAR efficiency requirement. The Mac Pro is free of mercury, PVC, beryllium, and over 95 percent of the packaging is fiber based.
Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. does this come with Catalina?
A: Yes, the Mac Mini ships with Catalina 10.15.
Q: 2. can the ram be user upgraded like the previous model?
A: Yes, this Mac Mini has the option for the RAM to be upgraded. As per Apple the max amount of RAM this would support is 64GB.
Q: 3. Would this Mac Mini combined with an external GPU be a viable option for video editing?
A: One of the highly regarded external GPUs for Macs (aside from the Black Magic Design eGPU available only at Apple) is the Razer Core X Chroma (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1541204-REG/razer_rc21_01430100_r3u1_razer_core_x_chroma.html). You would then install an AMD graphics card like the AMD Radeon Pro RX 5700 XT and you would be in good shape for video editing. That noted, this iMac (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1582164-REG/apple_z0zx_mxwv_51_bh_imac_27_3_8g_8c_10g_i7_8gb_512gb_rp_5700_xt.html) puts you roughly in the same ballpark fiscally and performance-wise (if not better) with the ability to upgrade the RAM yourself.
Q: 4. Currently have a dell, & thinking about going mac mini. I have two hdmi monitors and 2 usb hardware devices to connect. will the mini do the job for me?
A: This would work for your needs. But as this only has 1 HDMI port, you would need to get an adapter from Thunderbolt 3(USB C) to HDMi for the second display. Please see attached link https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1450581-REG/xcellon_c_hdmi_43_usb_type_c_to_hdmi.html
Q: 5. If the Mini's SSD isn't big enough can I run everything from a big external SSD and not use the Mini's SSD at all? (I don't want to mess with having the OS one one drive and the data on another drive unless Migration Assitant will do this by default.)
A: So if the drive is not large enough you can install and Run programs off an external SSD. However, the pathways for applications to run would be linked to that external drive. Applications like migration assistant would see this as an external drive. So it would be required to reinsert drive, and then make sure all applications are pointed to the appropriate directory.
Q: 6. In your specs here, you state that the Mac Mini Late 2018 has 2 USB 3.1 gen 1 (3.0) ports. On the Apple website, they state that the Late 2018 Mac Mini has USB 3.1 gen 2 ports. The difference between these is significant. Can you please clarify?
A: The USB 3.1 Gen 2, is supported via the Thunderbolt 3 / USB Type-C ports, And the USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1), would have its own dedicated USB Type-A ports.
Q: 7. Is this new or used?
A: This, Apple Mac mini is new in a box not used or refurbished. All items on our site are new unless specifically marked as used, with a condition rating. You will also notice the "Used" tab highlighted at the top of our page.
Q: 8. Does this qualify for Apple Care?
A: Yes, I have it.
Q: 9. will this mini mac work with my display monitor (Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB)?
A: The Mac Mini will work with any monitor given the correct cables or adapters.
Q: 10. Please confirm the SSD cannot be accessed . You mean if the system drive fails there is no way to change it out !!??
A: The internal drive can be changed by an authorized Apple tech.
