The Mac Pro is their big, honking, workstation class tower. They don't make that many of them and most are pretty customized. The last one I bought was made and shipped directly from China. It has actually been the most trouble-free computer I ever owned.

This sort of manufacturing makes the most sense to me when one is taking baby steps in moving a manufacturing operation back here. I think the iMac is too big a task right now.

All of this is pure, 100% personal speculation.
