First Mac Pro Unboxing Videos Revealed

With the first review units of the Mac Pro in the wild, FCP.co has posted an actual unboxing video of the device.

The Mac Pro, which is assembled and packaged in Austin, Texas, comes in a sleek black box with a plastic handle at the top. Inside, there is minimalist, environmentally friendly molded foam with the aluminum Mac Pro wrapped in plastic for protection.

Several reviewers have commented on the surprising density of the Mac Pro, saying it is heavier than they expected.

Update: MacFormat also has a 15-minute video showing the unboxing and providing an overview of the machine.

I didn't see anything. I was distracted by that hideous shirt. What was that video about? :p

I was strongly reminded of James May from Top Gear.

As other has said i think the shirt was the most interesting thing about that video...:D
Pretty boring packaging from apple...

Apple is well known for minimalist packaging these days. What did you expect? Diamond encrusted disposable shrink-wrap?

Great! The video has so many subtle messages. I'm sure the hardware is ideal for Windows 8.1 and Linux.

Windows 8.1 and Linux certainly are suitable for a "trash can." :D

Windows 8.1 and Linux are the superior OSs on the Mac hw. By comparison, OS X is just a useless toy.

Ok buddy whatever you say, don't forget to tell me when i can run Logic Pro on Linux(or anything of value for that matter).
