Apple announced the new Mac Pro after years of waiting for a cheesegrater tower to replace the rapidly aging and woefully unsuitable trashcan Mac Pro released in 2013. While we don't have the new Afterburner card or the latest and greatest CPU configurations from Intel's Xeon W Cascade Lake X lineup, we do have Apple new hardware and answer many of the following questions: How do Apple's MPX modules work? Are the feet on Mac Pro removable? Can you use wheels other than the $400 wheels from Apple? Are other PCIe devices supported? How does the cooling system and fan configuration work? How is memory or RAM supported or inserted? Is the SSD upgradable by the end-user? And so much more! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
My apologies for the occasional lav mic audio popping in this video. We also have a bit of an artifacting problem from about 22 min to end of video. We exported at 2AM and should have previewed it before uploading. Sorry. We'll get it fixed for the next one!! Tons of awesome Mac Pro content coming from Snazzy Labs this holiday season (we're legit trying some crazy stuff), so get subscribed and enable notifications. Stay snazzy!!!
Snazzy Labs I’ve been waiting for this video for ages now, its great too see that you don’t even use it stock but instantly do something too it
And quick thought, try to avoid cliche thumbnails. That face was kinda a letdown
There also appears to be bad encoding artifacts by the end of the video. Or maybe it's youtube still doing it's thing?
Jep it is Quanta that are building and making the 2019 Mac Pro tower,, also the new MacBookpro16 is by Quanta.
Waiting for the World Mac Pro Race! If the pther competitors prefer, dissambly it all and race only with the frame and sit on top of it
This felt like Doug De Muro telling me about the Macs quirks and features.
Mr Screamer was honestly wondering where the hell that voice was sounding like 😂
@@coltonmacade6136 trueeeee
And then we are going to give it a doug score.
THIS is a Mac Pro
I love how everyone watches Doug videos

"And now I'm going to show you it's quarks and features"
both their voices do sound very similar
Who is that?
Are they possibly related? Maybe even brothers?
Dude, I was about to write the same 😁🤣🤣🤣
"I can hit that switch all day"
- Quinn Nelson, 2019
The original cheese grater Mac Pro had a similar locking mechanism for PCIe cards, except that it was operated by the latch that released the removable side rather than by a dedicated switch.
johnm2012 you’re thinking of the hard drive bays. Pcie cards had individual plastic latches on each one.
@@josh8106 Ah, yes. You're right.
Sorry, iFixit. But THIS should have been your "teardown" video.
Seriously.
Just thinking the same!
iFixit won't disassemble their Mac Pro, i guess they're afraid of breaking it or maybe, they don't have the courage the tear it down all the components.
Radu Arsenie cumpara l
The iFixit video was made by and for ladies. THIS one is for us dudes.
Snazzy the only guy would describe what twisting the handle feels like.
His review of this Mac Pro reminds of a Doug Demuro car review.
by god for that price the handle better be orgasmic
Nope. after sinking 6 grand into a computer.. if my first experience was a grating chonk sound.. I'd not be happy. :P I would have been expecting a BSG 'snick'.. or a some form of Myth actuator sound. For that money... I'd also want a pulsing LED indicating the progress of my case latch. "your latch is fully rotated"... awe.. thanks Siri.. even though the computer is off...
That was my first thought when he said that, but then again if I were dealing with a minimum $6k machine, I'd probably notice a decidedly cheap sounding handle as well.
Knob Feel does this with an entertaining format
This is my favorite of the new Mac Pro videos: you skipped the pointless unboxing, and tore down the entire computer explaining each component along the way. Very well done, sir.
I'm not an Apple fan by no means but I love how clean and simple they designed this Computer. The lack of of cables really is a nice design choice and as well as the crazy upgradeability of the system.
so sad that macOS doesnt support nvidia cards anymore
@@joshuah345 Yeah, that's a real shame
Joshua Henry at least amd cards are getting better
me too, I'll be getting one when the price for a maxed out one is below $500. they seem really cool.
This is like a Doug DeMuro video for computers
💯
Yeah, I think he has been inspired by Doug's videos.
*THIS* is a 2019 Mac Pro
Quirks and features
Just missing the Doug score at this point!
I love the fact that there are ZERO cables!
The downside is, you have to buy almost all upgrades from apple.
@RunFor OurLives Yeah, I have. Try buying a new GPU in a regular store and power that without cables. You have to either buy the GPU from apple or buy extra kit for $200 which allows you to power it USING CABLES.
neplatny udaj These cables were already used in the first Mac Pro from 2006 to power faster GPUs. They can be found online for about $5 a piece.
@RunFor OurLives At some point he says "except [insert many components here] everything is upgradable", but at this point there was very little left. But that's not directed at people that want to meddle with their own pc, that's directed to people who need powerful machines and have the money so makes sense I guess. (Even if a more powerful pc can still be built for people who need more).
@neplatny udaj, exactly why it’s designed that way.
not gonna lie, that is a bad ass case. so well engineered wow
Yeah, I'll wait and see in 6 months how well that lack of dust filtering works out.
Sacro WoW pretty sure it’ll be fine bud

As a PC enthusiast, thanks for taking the lengthy time to really tear down this MacPro and show us all the bells and whistles. Nice to know what's fixable / replaceable, what isn't, and how to access everything!

It's a 1400W power supply, BTW, not 1000W.
How did I botch this?! So sorry. Thanks for correction.
and it's actually 1280
I was about to say other sides are saying 1000w
Евгений Мокрушин 1400W peak and 1280W continuous at 108-125V and 220-240V
That's overkill but I guess if you're spending 4000$ you should get more than enough and you don't know about PCs
What a wonderful video. Thank you for all the time, energy, and effort you put in to making this!
Me: I go big and get 32gb ram..
Apple: 32gb is low end
To be honest, I don't know what can you even use that much ram for 😐

I can almost afford the original Mac Pro now. Although I did build a powerful Hackintosh inside an old PowerMac G5 case so I guess I'm halfway there already
Do the prices drop the original MacBook Air still cost a grand on amazon😂 such a rip-off for an 11 year old laptop
This is a workstation designed for professional jobs in Film,Cad, Audio, and other professional industrial production environments. The managers of these projects usually have projects with multi million dollar budgets. High end Workstations from HP, Dell and Lenovo are also extremely high. Getting one of these machines to do your home desktop applications would be like getting a Boeing 747 to drive to the grocery store.
@@chuckanderson8144 that is my dream, yes, so I'll do it.
Meh, we have some Macs that once retailed for $10K. They are worthless today. I don't even know if you can bring up TH-cam and get it to play on a Quadra 950. We got them free from an ad agency when they upgraded and planned to toss them into a dumpster, like 20 years ago. I don't know why anyone would buy a Macintosh today. They were cool back in the early 90's... and then Apple started screwing their installed customer base and developers over, first by going to PowerPC, then by switching their kernel to Mach unix...
That was a really cool tear down. Never in my life would I buy that thing but I just love seeing how it’s put together and the lack of cables is very impressive.
It's actually surprisingly similar to the pre-2013 Mac Pro's that you can easily buy second hand, and then upgrade the whazoo out of.
They learned a few new tricks, but the amount of similarities is surprisingly high.
Maybe if I find a reasonably priced one in 15 or 20 years
lack of cables isnt a good thing ,its so u pay apple more for upgrades
@Igor Ru macpro is a rip off always has been the junk dosnt even have a mic or mixed audio in only one headphone jack lmao !!!!! 6k for 32gb base model ahahahahaha a gaming PC for 1k has 32gb
@Igor Ru hyporite
5:03 at least it still has a headphone jack... ^^
You sir, are a madman for taking this beast apart the way you did!!! Having said that - this was the best computer internals tour I’ve seen in a very long time!!! 😅👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
A proper taking a-part should start with "Gentlemennnn, welcome back to the shop, today a treat especial..."
Followed by some heavy handed micro chainsaw action.
"I'm going to be destructing a Crapple confuser using a precision whatchamawidget also known to the layperson as a hammer."
Engage safety squints!
Haven’t finished the video yet but I already know this will be a better teardown then the one ifixit posted...
Jarrett Boersen *Than is used for comparing btw.
MachuManOfLegends oh oops thanks. I always forget which one to use
Much better and thorough video than other tech youtubers who just kept the case on the table and went on and on about the specs and features. Well done Snazzy. :D
Mac Pro is probably one of their rare products that is literally worth the price in engineering + performance.
Yeah it's easy to see why it's expensive, to some degree. None of this stuff is mass-produced to anything like the scale PC stuff is. If I was rich, I'd have one of these, and a gaming PC as well just for kicks.
I can't wait to buy this workstation in 2029!
Same
Nah 2040
I just bought a Workstation with 5Ghz 8 core Xeon 2288G that is almost identical to the basic Mac Pro, largest difference is that the Mac cost 3,5 times more and mine runs 1Ghz faster CPU. And yes my PC runs Mac OS just fine installing it with clover lol.
Rondo Cat ok boomer
Rondo Cat I must have Alzheimer’s because I don’t remember asking
Loved how you went into the details not many others covered. 👍🏼
I really like this design and I don't know how I feel about that.
Snazzy Labs, you did a stupendous job on this entire Mac Pro upload. I've learned so much more than expected. You've earned a sub from this amateur tech repairman👍🏾.

Thank YOU!
He looks and sounds like Doug De Muro but for computers
TOTALLY! And love him as well!
I am glad this guy doesn't say THIS at the beginning of every video. I stopped watching Doug because he always says THIS.
This is why cable management(customized cable included) are so important in your own computer case, makes you feel comfortable.
Yea, encourages you to add cards, as long as they aren't nvidia cards
I think Apple has said that you can use any card, as long as the card company has written a macOS driver
David Sullivan and Nvidia aren’t writing drivers because they’ve had a falling out.
Well it does work and can theorically make it work with bootcamp.
nvidia is crap anyways
@@Commissar0617 well honestly they are still doing the best gpus nowadays but they're killing it in the NB high end CPU market.
Damn, gotta give to Apple, this thing is freaking well engineered.
I mean for the price, it should be.
John Dequavis look at other workstations for the same price: they aren’t
@@user-jt6xh2ln9z Yeah we got a quote from Dell for a 78,000 USD workstation that doesn't beat this thing.
@@BrawndoQC for OEM manufactures honestly law of diminishing returns. If you want a super high end computer with actual good value, you've gotta build it yourself.
̄ ̄ But the thing is you can’t get a Mac machine by building it yourself. It’s either using hakingtosh with high uncertainties and complications or just Windows. Some people do need macOS.
This is probably the best most informative tear down I've ever seen. Well done man!
This was a great teardown. Loved it!
After I watch this, I realized Apple has the best cable management when they dont even have cable in their mac pro at all lol
😂
Even the old pre-2013 Mac Pro's had no cables.
From the sliding PCIE stuff, the no cables layout, the style of the CPU cooler and other details, it has as a surprising amount of similarities.
its so u cannot ;upgrade uself or service ituself ,u have to pay apple for repairs
@MxC not true for many
@MxC, try telling that too linus sebastian who couldn’t get their iMac Pro fixed by Apple even after offering to pay for repairs.
so where are benchmarks of AMD Hack Mac vs This one!
So all version of Mac Pro 2019 (I mean different type of CPU) has exactly the same motherboard?
Which means you can update CPU later?
That was fun to watch! Extremely interesting and thorough! Thanks!

I am waiting for the new MacPro vs Threadripper Hackintos duel of titans!
We've already seen Cinebench R20 scores with the 3970X Threadripper that are double the 28 core Mac Pro which scores around the same as the 3950x.
@@billB101 Oh I know. I need others to see it. Apple fans especially and all those "pro" people. I was working with video when Amiga was something, so I know what we are talking about.
The question is can a Hackintosh use the Afterburner card. If not what would the render times of your theoretical Threadripper Hackintosh be vs a similarly spec'ed Mac Pro with Afterburner using ProRes. If it can use the Afterburner then the question is how well can the Hackintosh utilize the Afterburner card compared to the Mac Pro.
@@brucemclee AFAIK The afterburner card is a very specific device for playing back multiple streams of ProRes video and only works with the ProRes codec. Most users won't ever need one.
@RunFor OurLives true
Thiss is the new 2019 Mac Pro and today I'm gonna show you all of its quirks and features
Holy hell that PCIe latch sound thing is extremely satisfying omg
The PCIe lock is genius, would definitely like to see that on my next ATX motherboard. I also like the idea of running all the power through the motherboard.
Ah yes, what could possibly ever go wrong
Running all power through the motherboard is a signal integrity nightmare, and one reason the board is so large is probably because they wanted to make sure that data and power traces were separated properly.
The old Mac Pro had that too, took me 10 minutes to realize why the graphics card wasn't coming out.
You have not enough space for that in this area are connections to the chip and to the cpu on ATX boards
Running power inside the logic board (motherboard) was an Apple thing for years! My 1989 Mac IIci ran SCSI hard drive power from the logic board. And My 2002 PowerMac G4 powered the LCD Cinema Display from the video card, and that power came from a dedicated high power edge connection on the AGP slot.
"And a headphone port"

But they decided to put them on the back. That's ok for connecting speakers, but awful when you want to use headphones as the back of a tower PC is usually facing away from you. Now you need a cable that's a meter longer and have to climb back there anytime you want to plug one in. Why not just add a second one on top?

I'm amazed how they've managed to get rid of cables: changed psu and motherboard power, special fans, and the design of the top
I think Apple did something right for once. They finally made a computer that doesn’t thermal throttle by design. But it’s still 6 grand
Do you know that to be a fact or are you assuming? Is there really enough cooling to cope with the 28-core option?
