If you are thinking about buying a new 2019 Mac Pro and looking to do some serious pimping over and above the standard specification then the team at storage and memory specialists OWC have some very good news for you.
The Apple Tax
If you have ever bought a new Apple computer then you will know how inflated the prices for preinstalled Apple RAM can be. For example, if you are looking to take the new Mac Pro to its full RAM capacity of 1.5TB or twelve 128GB RAM modules, at Apple prices you are going to be dropping a massive $25,000.
Save Up To 65% With OWC Memory
Maxing the RAM on the new Mac Pro was never going to be inexpensive but OWC will sell you the full 1.5TB for $19,998.99 saving over $5000. That's almost the price of the base model 2019 Mac Pro!
However, when you take a look at what we mere mortals might call sensible RAM figures the savings are even better.
At Apple prices, 384GB of RAM is going to cost you £6000. That’s 6x64GB sticks. The same RAM configuration from OWC will cost you just $2,399.99. That is a serious saving.
So maybe 384GB is overkill. Take a look at spec’ing your new Mac Pro with 192GB in a 6x32GB configuration. From Apple, this will cost you $3,000. The same from OWC will cost just $1,049.99. I believe this falls into the category of “No Brainer”. Save yourself some serious cash and don’t order your new machine with preinstalled Apple ram.
