  • Apple's new Mac Pro is now available to order, with a starting price of $5,999.
  • That price is far from all-inclusive - Apple charges extra for additional specs, ranging from bulked up memory to $400 wheels.
  • A maxed-out Mac Pro costs more than $50,000.
  • Here's a breakdown of all the Mac Pro costs beyond the basic computer.

The new Mac Pro is available for order online - but before buying it, users will have to choose between dozens of options, each with a unique price tag.

The Mac Pro is designed to process heavy workloads, like handling 8K footage or processing massive data sets simultaneously. Accordingly, its primary audience is professionals that need a video-editing powerhouse, rather than everyday customers - and its add-ons are priced for that professional audience too.

There are hardware upgrades, like $400 wheels for the Mac Pro "tower" to sit on, and pre-loaded software like Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro.

All of the above come with an additional price tag. If users max out their Mac Pro configurations, the computer will cost more than $50,000 - Apple's most expensive product ever.

Here's a breakdown of the additional charges that come with configuring the new Mac Pro.
