Apple Mac Pro – Designwyse Melbourne

Last month I took delivery of my new apple mac pro computer , it was custom build for me by Designwyse in Melbourne that are professionals that deal in Apple products.  The sales manager I dealt with was Daniel  and he couldn’t have been more helpful with every process and request I asked of him and the team he works with.

I have had a few upgrades from what is stock standard, and that is I went from 3Gig Ram to 24 Gig Ram, I added a 120 gig solid state hard drive and that has all my programs running from it. I added 3 1TB hard drives for time machine back ups, my weddings, portraits and the last one for my landscape photos. I have done a few test as well with it, Photoshop opens up in 1.5sec and a 500mb file from finder (explorer) opening up PS CS5 at the same time takes just on 5 secs. I thought I would also push it and see how it went, so I opened 20 x 500mb files in one go and 2 mins later they were all opened.

I couilnt be more happier with the computer and I feel that this tower will give me years of reliable editing that I will be sure to be doing with it.

So if you are looking for a great computer and you need the speed and the power, then give Daniel a call in Melbourne.

  2. Fantastic computer. I want one. I’m still using my laptop from 2007. I have to dust the cobwebs from it before I use it!
