You can [preorder your shiny new black cylinder from Apple.com](https://store.apple.com/ca/mac/family/mac-pro?ref=chrisenns.com) \- pricing starts at $3,099CDN+tax with no monitor, keyboard or mouse.

But what's the fun in that?

Let's price out the top end Mac Pro with a shiny new Sharp[1](#fn-21803:1) display.

You can [check out the previous generation Mac Pro loaded up](https://chrisenns.com/2013/10/mac-pro-loaded-up-pre-apple-event/) (spoiler: it was $12,917.00+tax) and see they're offering more for less, depending on how you feel about having your hard drives internal or external.

I won't be buying one anytime soon but I'll be curious to hear about real world usage for [Final Cut Pro](https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/final-cut-pro/id424389933?mt=12&uo=4&at=10l4Ki&ref=chrisenns.com) \- which also saw an update today to 10.1 - and [Logic Pro X](https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/logic-pro-x/id634148309?mt=12&uo=4&at=10l4Ki&ref=chrisenns.com) users.
