Apple Mac Pro - Wireless

If you are planning on getting an Apple Mac Pro and if you ever think you will need wireless at all (now or later), then make sure you get it with wireless. My husband got a Mac Pro (he didn’t order it, but he got one that didn’t have wireless) and since we run everything wireless, he wanted to have that on there. We went to the Apple store today and I thought they just didn’t have it in stock, but he said it’s worst - “you have to bring in that heavy thing in and they put something in for you”. They basically said you can’t just buy it and do it yourself. That’s a real pain because that IS a pretty big tower and pretty heavy to drag to the store.

The thing is that the past ones did have a wireless card that you can buy online or in store and install it yourself. That was for G4 and G5, but for some reason they don’t have this “card” at the store or online that you can purchase and it may not even be a card anymore (don’t know what it is). So you just can’t do it yourself. So make sure you order one with wireless already there, if you ever will need wireless.

UPDATE: So I just search for more on this and found this which basically says that you should be able to get it at the store. My husband said it might be that you have to convince them that you are capable of installing it yourself since it’s not just putting in a card like how it use to be.
