Obviously I hoped for a dual CPU model but this was not the case. I bought the Mac Pro at an auction for around €100, not knowing what exactly would be in the box. The Mac Pro which I will use for this article is not the first one that I’m upgrading from both hardware and software perspective but it’s the first time that I will try to document this properly. If you know that some newer Apple Macs are less performant for a multitude of the price, one cannot be suprised. As mentioned, the hardware still looks very nice and thanks to the large community around these devices, it’s still very well usable today. The Mac Pro 4,1 and 5,1 have been released more than 10 years ago now but a quick search online clearly shows that they are still alive and even popular today.
