The Apple Mac Pro 5,1 (Mid 2010) is a Mac desktop computer designed and developed by Apple Inc. While the design of the Mac Pro is seemingly identical to its predecessors, the 2010 model is equipped with faster graphics and numeral updated technical differences than its Early 2009 equivalent.

The 2010 Mac Pro now comes with an 802.11n Wi-Fi card by default. I always use wired, but this was a dumb thing to make an upgrade because there are times you find you need wireless. The LG 23.7-inch 4K UltraFine Display is a brilliant monitor that works over Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C, and can be daisy-chained with other devices via the Thunderbolt 3 port. It features a 3840 x.

The best monitor for MacBook Pro we've tested is the ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV. This is a newer version of our top budget pick, the ASUS ProArt Display PA278QV. It largely performs the same as its predecessor, but it has a few additional features.

Apple Mac Pro 5,1 (Mid 2010)

The Mac Pro high-end powerful servers and workstation line replaced Apple’s flagship Power Macintosh series since 2006. In July 2010, Apple upgraded this line, and although the Mid-2010 models look essentially the same externally as the Early 2009 Mac Pro models, all of them use faster graphics (besides there are significant technical differences for higher-end Westmere models). Faster processors and up to twelve cores – two six core processors are included in custom configuration.

Mac OS recognizes twenty four total cores on this Mid-2010 series, twelve real and twelve virtual. It also recognized Turbo Boost which automatically boosts the processor speed based on workload.

Note that Apple officially supports 32 GB of RAM in this model. However, this model supports 96 GB running Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7, and to 128 GB, when running a 64-bit version of Windows XP or later or Linux.

• Later models of the Mac Pro first generation which Apple launched in 2010 and in 2012, featured Nehalem/Westmere architecture Intel Xeon processors.
