Apple's Mac Pro: "The ultimate in desktop computing"

MSNBC has declared the Mac Pro to be "the ultimate in desktop computing," in a recent article detailing the ins and outs of Apple's new flagship. Some choice observations from the article:
The new Mac Pro desktop is a thing of beauty. Inside and out this box looks like it is the ultimate desktop computer on the market today.

With two, 64-bit, dual-core Intel Xeon "Woodcrest" processors and it's sleek design, the Mac Pro is the computer equivalent of a Ferrari, Maserati or Porsche. And like a super sports car — you can pay a lot for the ultimate level of high-end performance.

The Mac Pro is encased in real metal rather than cheap pressboard or molded plastic that looks like metal.

This baby is fast! How fast? Apple tested the Mac Pro's processing speed while running software by Logic Pro 7.2.2., Soundtrack Pro 1.1 and Final Cut Pro to Xcode 2.3, PyMOL 0.99 and Mathematica 5.2.2 and they said the Mac Pro runs 1.4 to 1.8 times faster than their previous G5 speedster.

As the proud owner of a new 3GHz Mac Pro system, I can honestly say that it's the snappiest workstation I have ever encountered. And when it comes to adding memory, adding drives - it's all a snap, thanks to the new, sound tower design. Good stuff.
