Update – Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR are available

Apple is rarely used to announcing the launch of a product in the middle of the weekend, but this is the case for the new Mac Pro and its Pro Display XDR screen. Apple had promised that this machine would arrive this fall, a season which ends on December 21, and Apple kept its promise at the last minute or almost.

The Cupertino company has sent numerous emails to interested parties to inform them of the availability of the machine from December 10 (tomorrow).
