$This Mac Pro cost £7000 in 2013, today I bought one for just £250. We dont usually look at Apple Mac computers but the 2013 trash can Pro is a controversial machine that now costs a small fraction of its original price, making it pretty tempting. This one is configured with some of the best specs available at the time, so I thought wed see what its like to use and whether its any good for gaming in 2026. Thanks for watching :)$
