Cassandra: New Mac Pro in Bangkok |
|
By Graham K. Rogers
Order one of these today from the US Apple Store online and the shipping date stil says April and it is the same in the Apple online store for Thailand. There was a brief discussion on Twitter earlier today, when one of the local users announced that he was taking delivery of a Mac Pro. It was a 2008 machine which he had found for the bargain price of 4,500 baht (about $150). With the power that this still cranks out - it will also still run OS X 10.9, Mavericks - this will be useful for quotidian tasks like email or browsing, as well as churning away when downloading large files.
