Apple confirmed to CNBC that it would begin taking orders for its new Mac Pro (starting at $5,999) on Tuesday, Dec. 10. Mac Pro was announced in June during its annual developer conference, and it would launch in December.

The Mac Pro does not include a display. Apple is selling its new 6K Pro Display XDR, which starts at $4,999. So, customers should expect to pay for a system that costs more than $10,000. It will be likely to cost more than that for many buyers as they add upgrades.

But the Mac Pro isn’t built for regular consumers. Instead, the company said it expects video and audio professionals to buy the systems. So, people who make movies for a living and those who edit scores of music for films are the target audience. For everyone else, there are MacBooks, the iMac, and the Mac Mini.

The Mac Pro will be assembled in Austin, Texas. Apple announced that it would assemble the computer in Austin after winning tariff relief on some of the components it needs to import from China. It’s the only computer Apple manufactures in the United States.

“The Mac Pro is Apple’s most powerful computer ever, and we’re proud to be building it in Austin. We thank the administration for their support enabling this opportunity,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook in a statement in September. The previous model was also assembled in Texas by a contract manufacturer named Flex.
