    Apple online store says “Available to ship: February” for everything. I’ve heard product is in stores, but we don’t know which configs are available.

    Tricky if you need to make a choice today with limited info.

    [Kevin Patrick] “Is the flash storage upgradable? I didn’t think it was.”

    I thought I saw a hand putting in the SSD storage on one of the early MacPro animations.

    It is now changed.

    I stand by my earlier comment, buy the biggest SSD you can.

    😉

    Agreed. If you’re getting it now, don’t take the risk.

    I have the 1TB in my new Retina. It’s awesome. I don’t know if I’d need more than 512GB in the Mac Pro though with the external storage options and the fact that it’s not meant to be portable like the laptop is.

    Keith, normally it is only the base configurations that are in the retail stores. They may be able to change memory but that would be the limit of the upgrading you could do in the retail store.

    SSD Storage is in fact user replaceable if you can find a flash unit that works with the MacPro:
