Apple launched and showed off its new Mac Pro in 2019, and it came with different add-ons and the company also gave the option for owners to purchase a set of wheels for this workstation. Just in case you plan on moving it around, this new addition in the set up is probably what you are looking for. Aside from the fact that the Mac Pro already has a whopping $50,000 price tag, the wheels do not come cheap as expected and this tag has $400 written on it which costs more than they should, but then again, its Apple.
There is a catch..
If your heart is set on dropping money for this workstation, there is one thing that you need to know, the wheels do not have a locking mechanism.
This discovery comes from popular Tech YouTuber, Marques "MKBHD" Brownlee, who tweeted about the wheels saying, "#protip, don't get the wheels if you keep this thing on your desk. There are no locks."

Based on the video he tweeted, he basically showed that a Mac Pro and its wheels are a pair of a disaster waiting to happen when left unattended. It basically rolls itself around which is probably not what you when you are planning on setting this up on your table or desk or basically, any surface.
Mac Pro has great design while the wheels are useful for office movers
Wheels on the Mac Pro have been said to be ideal or useful for film editors and whatnot. Especially if they are on the move most of the time. This all-new design from Apple has only one goal, and that is performance. The Mac Pro is built on a stainless steel space frame with an aluminum housing that pulls up wherein the owner or user can have 360-degree access to every corner and component
This workstation has a ton of optional accessories including, Apple's Afterburner card, Belkin lock adapter, the Pegasus R4i, J2i storage modules and you can also upgrade the RAM up to 245GB. If you want to upgrade to a dully maxed out Mac Pro, you can do so by purchasing it for a staggering $53,000 that comes with an astonishingly 28-core CPU with 1.5TB Ram and 4GB SSD alongside a DDR4 ECC memory that can go up to 2933MHz and a memory bandwidth can peak to 140GB/s and a six-channel memory system.
As for the wheels that basically costs $100 per piece, let us just all hope that Apple fixes this issue just by actually putting locks on them. After all, nobody would want their new $53,000 shiny Mac Pro to end up in pieces on the floor.
