Mac Pro 2013 Release Date: Apple’s Next Generation Desktop Expected To Be Unveiled Oct. 22 At Launch Event By Tech Giant, Other Rumors Suggest Nov. Release

Mac Pro 2013 release date: October or November maybe the two months where we could see the already-announced next generation desktop by Apple. Some are expecting that Apple’s October 22 event maybe the time where they will unveil the new computer, while some reports suggest a November release date.

Since the OS X Mavericks and the Mac Pro have been suggested to arrive in the fall and the October 22 event maybe the last big launch for the company, it’s likely that it will be an all-in-one date where all the previously announced products may finally get an availability date.

But according to Mac Rumors, November 15 date is probably the time frame on the Mac Pro’s launched. The rumored day of release for the Mac Pro is coming two weeks before the all important “Black Friday” for retailers. The new MacPro features a compact cylindrical design, along with Ivy Bridge E Xeon processors, dual AMD Fire Pro graphics chips and a speedy PCI Express-based flash storage, shared MacRumors. Not to mention other professional-grade externals.

In what seems like a consistent trail of news pertaining to Mac Pro’s availability date of either October or November, the Austin American-Statesman reports that Flextronics America, Apple’s contract manufacturer for the Mac Pro, is hiring 1,700 workers for its Austin facility for a “next generation desktop computer.” Many speculate that it is the Mac Pro the company is referring to.

See the Austin-American report on the company’s hiring spree below.

“Flextronics America, which has ramped up hiring and spent tens of millions of dollars to renovate its Northwest Austin factory over the past two years, will start manufacturing a "next generation desktop computer" at the upgraded plant, according to a presentation it filed Monday with Travis County commissioners. “

“The document, part of a push by the computer and electronics manufacturer to have its Central Texas facilities designated as a foreign trade zone, suggests the company already created 879 jobs for the project and could add another 815 positions if it hits peak targets.”

According to Mac Rumors, Flextronics has been selected by Apple in an effort to bring some Mac production back to the United States. An unconfirmed tip from the tech site initially informs that the Flextronics would be using its facility in Forth Worth, Texas where it manufacturers the Moto X smartphone. Based on this latest clue, however, it seems that Flextronics will be using its Austin facilities instead which is less than a mile from Apple’s existing operation campus where an estimated 4,000 workers are employed.

The operations campus of Apple in Austin is undergoing a major expansion as the Cupertino tech giant is expected to spend over $300 million to add at least 3,600 new employees in the facility over the next 10 years.
