近日，由蘋果公司前首席設計師Jony Ive和Marc Newson設計的紅色款Mac Pro在蘇富比慈善拍賣會上成功拍出，該產品全球僅1臺，最終成交價高達97.7萬美元（約合人民幣690.7 萬元）。

2013年，蘋果發佈了搭載Intel Xeon E5處理器的Mac Pro，這款產品由於其獨特的圓柱形外觀設計，直到現在也有不低的知名度。

拍賣品簡介顯示，新款Mac Pro是蘋果有史以來設計的最強大，最激進的Mac。新款Mac Pro圍繞創新的統一散熱核心架構，配備雙工作站顯卡、最新的至強處理器、超快閃存和令人難以置信的高性能I/O。精確加工和拋光的外殼以非凡的設計容納了這項先進技術，高爲9.9英寸，直徑爲6.6英寸。這款獨一無二的錶款由紅色陽極氧化鋁製成，專爲拍賣會製作而成。

A ‘trash can’ 2013 Mac Pro with a clean, red anodized aluminum finish is about the only model in existence, assuming that current owners have not given it their own fresh coat of paint. Thanks to the efforts of industrial designers Jony Ive and Marc Newson, this customized workstation certainly catches the eye. Apple’s former Chief Industrial Designer and Newson created the red Mac Pro exclusively for the (RED) Sotheby’s charity auction, and it sold for an eye-watering $977,000. Both individuals should pat themselves on the back for a job well done. As for the unique Mac Pro, Sotheby’s had this to say about it. “The new Mac Pro is the most powerful, yet radical Mac that Apple has ever designed. Architected around an innovative, unified thermal core, the new Mac Pro features dual workstation graphics cards, the latest Xeon processors, ultra-fast flash storage, and incredibly high performance I/O. A precisely machined and polished enclosure houses this advanced technology in an extraordinary design that stands just 9.9 inches tall and 6.6 inches in diameter. This one-of-a-kind model, made with red anodised aluminium, has been crafted exclusively for the (RED) Auction.” Jony Ive and Marc Newson customized this one-of-a-kind 2013 Mac Pro with red anodized aluminum.

The server-grade workstation CPUs back in 2013 were available in 4-core and even 12-core configurations for the 2013 Mac Pro, so the overall performance will vary. Considering that the red-colored machine sold for nearly $1 million, it should feature the absolute best in computer hardware that was available nearly a decade ago. Depending on the configuration, the ‘trash can’ Mac Pro is still an extremely capable machine, able to hold its own against modern-day silicon like the M1 and M2 in multi-core workloads. Considering the latest chipsets are extremely power-efficient, Apple could maybe one day resurrect this design, refine it somewhat, and launch it as an updated Mac Pro.
