The cheese-grater Mac Pro is no more, but Apple will still sell you an old one
The Mac Pro's discontinuation was expected, but its quiet reappearance in Apple's Certified Refurbished store is giving fans a genuine, time-limited chance to own a piece of Apple history.

The Mac Pro is gone from Apple's main store, but a shrinking window of certified refurbished units gives professionals one last chance to buy direct from Apple.

In a rather disappointing announcement, Apple officially pulled the plug on the Mac Pro on March 26, 2026. You cannot find the system on the company’s website anymore, at least not where it used to be. If you ask me, it’s a cold send-off for the machine that once defined what professional computing meant.
The product page now redirects visitors to the general Mac homepage. However, you can still find one if you are okay with a used one. At the time of writing this story, Apple’s Certified Refurbished store has 17 units still quietly listed and available for purchase. They include both tower-style desktops and rack-mount builds.

Can you still get your hands on a Mac Pro?
The cheapest used Mac Pro (tower-style) costs $6,289.00 and features the M2 Ultra chip with a 24-core CPU and 60-core GPU. There’s another one (rack-mount) with the same chip but a 24-core CPU and a 76-core GPU that costs $8,239.00.
The most expensive one, meanwhile, goes north of $10,000 for a tower-style unit with the same chip, a 24-core CPU, and a 76-core GPU.
Neither figure is easy on the wallet, but for professionals who specifically want easy PCIe expansion — something that the Mac Studio still can’t replicate — this may be the last opportunity to buy one directly from Apple.

The refurbished unit comes with Apple’s one-year warranty
The device comes with Apple’s standard one-year limited warranty, the same coverage it provides for brand-new devices. For your own peace of mind, you can also add AppleCare+ or AppleCare One coverage during checkout. You also get a 14-day return policy and free delivery.
In my frank opinion, Apple’s refurbished stock won’t last long. Once these units are sold out, Apple has made it abundantly clear there won’t be any more. The company has already confirmed it has no plans to offer future Mac Pro hardware.
If you always wanted to get a Mac Pro, and you’re okay with getting it as a refurbished product from Apple, this is probably your last chance to get one.

M5 MacBook Pro tests show Apple is pretty close to fixing its worst weakness
Windows games are now surprisingly playable, through emulation
For years, Macs have had one glaring weakness: gaming. But with the new M5 MacBook Pro, Apple might finally be getting close to fixing that. Or at least brute-forcing its way around it. Recent testing by Andrew Tsai shows the M5 Max MacBook Pro can run a wide range of AAA Windows games smoothly, even through emulation layers like CrossOver.
We’re talking heavy titles like Horizon Forbidden West and Black Myth: Wukong, and while not every game was perfect, the majority ran “superbly” despite not being native macOS apps. That’s kind of wild when you think about it, considering these are Windows games running on an ARM-based Mac… through translation.
Don’t try this $3 app that makes your MacBook moan, but I know you want to
This absurd $3 Mac app went viral for all the wrong reasons
There are useful apps, there are pointless app,s and then there is SlapMac, which sits in a category all by itself.
This app has gone viral online for one very stupid (and fun) reason: it makes your MacBook play sound effects when you slap it. Just spank your Mac and hear it moan, fart, or throw punches. The app creator has apparently made $5,000 in just three days, which is what makes the story even more absurd.
Apple’s ridiculous $700 wheels for its desktop PC are gone for good
The $700 Apple wheels are dead, long live ridiculous tech accessories
Apple has officially discontinued the Mac Pro, and by extension, the $700 Mac Pro Wheels Kit is also dead.
Yes, that sentence is still funny in 2026. It marks the end of one of the company's most infamous desktop add-ons. For anyone who somehow missed this saga, the Wheels Kit launched back in 2020 as an upgrade for the Mac Pro. It allowed you to add wheels for $400, but buying the standalone kit later costs a whopping $700 because the base machine already included the standard feet. Apple also sold a separate $300 Feet Kit for people who wanted to swap back.
