We asked professionals if they wanted Apple’s desktop, and they all said no.

It’s an absurd product. It’s a Mac Studio gingerly placed into a behemoth of a case that, itself, costs $3k, And for what? Can’t upgrade the memory or storage. Can’t add dGPUs. All you get is more ports and the ability to add internal PCI cards, both of which could be accomplished with the Studio with far cheaper external solutions. And it's gigantic and weighs a ton.

Who is this for? Idiots?

Who is this for? Idiots?

Apple consumers. So, yes. The same people who pay $1,000 for a $10 monitor stand or $700 for a set of $10 wheels.

this isn't a consumer-level product. it's marketed at professionals and starts at $6k.
