Steve Jobs just announced the latest and greatest entry to Apple's Intel chip line of computers: the Mac Pro. The replacement to the G5 tower, the Mac Pro features the new Intel Dual-Core Xeon processors, which you can double up to create one of the fastest machines on the market. Like the MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops before it, the new Mac Pro can run Windows and all Windows applications via Boot Camp, with Jobs and company hoping to lure Windows loyalists away from their trusty PCs. The price for this beefy machine is actually not too unreasonable, with a dual 2.66-GHz tower with 1 GB of RAM, a 250-GB hard disk, and a 256-MB Nvidia graphics card running $2,500. If that seems like too much or not enough, the Apple crew has given customers options aplenty in the online store, with over 4,000,000 configurations possible. Mac nerds, if you've made it this far without buying one yet, they're available at the Apple Store now.
