Apple Mac Pro- Value for money

Like most current Macs, the Mac Pro delivers great bang-for-the-buck. Get nearly 2x faster performance with the new Mac Pro (4-core and 8-core Intel Xeon 'Nehalem' processors). Sweetening the deal is the best-in-class desktop design and strong performance on HD video and 3D rendering, thanks to the new Intel CPU and faster RAM. If you don't already have a Mac Pro then this is the best computer you can buy. But if you need BluRay then you're out of luck. Adding to its appeal is its iLife application that helps manage your photos, edit your videos and even compose your own music.
