Ok Comboomer posted:this is always Apple’s biggest problem- for every success that births a paradigm shift and new normal and a billion accessories and applications that take advantage of it there’s a spot where Apple went “and now it’s The Market’s turn to fill in this big hole that we’ve deliberately left” and it doesn’t work out that way and often, like with the Trashcan Pro, an expensive product ends up languishing in limbo-hell like that for years. It’s the same thing with gaming: there is literally zero reason now for such low game support on Macs, given the power of Apple Silicon, except that Apple doesn’t view it as enough of a priority to put the resources into supporting the porting efforts, etc., that would be required to do so. If they spent even a fraction of their annual dividend payments for areas such as this, Mac gaming would be in a much better place. Not that I think Steve Jobs would have actually done much better on this front, but I did appreciate his hatred of dividend payments.

I’ll never get used to Apple’s super-produced videos/shows. I preferred the PowerPoints with funny comments/pictures, practical reveals, etc.

12x faster than the Intel Air. Of course, they haven’t updated it since I was born, so that’s a low bar to clear.

So it has PCIe expansion, but can it take GPUs? I noticed that it doesn’t appear to have the secondary MPX slots…

Ok Comboomer posted:That Mac Pro was p much everything I expected and yet so underwhelming. Hopefully it doesn’t cost too much more than the equivalent Studio I mean, the Ultra Studio will probably start at $4K still, so I’d assume that the ASi Mac Pro would start at $6K still?

A top-tier Studio with TB4 external PCIe expansion box might end up being cheaper than the ASi Mac Pro

illcendiary posted:I mean, I think the headset is preposterously expensive and is going to fail. I just think comparing it to what you can get to outfit a living room is a weird way to frame it, again, unless you legitimately are just talking about TV screens Aren’t you the one that framed it that way? And most people in the US can’t afford a $3,500 sectional and coffee table. They’re settling for the $500 sectional and $50 coffee table from Big Lots or Walmart.

I was speaking more to the specifics: illcendiary posted:$3499 is like a small sectional and a decent coffee table illcendiary posted:And the price of small, kinda decent furniture, as much as that sucks. All I’m saying is $3500 won’t leave you with much of a living room setup unless you’re okay with a folding chair and a big TV Boris Galerkin posted:https://www.fool.com/the-ascent/res...%20%2469%2C717.

Ok Comboomer posted:guess what, dipshit, most of the people living in $400k homes in the United States are financing them with heretofore-unseen levels of lifetime debt, while amassing no real savings and living what amounts to a paycheck to paycheck existence, where more than a few weeks of unemployment would entirely ruin them and their families. It’s marketed to those who buy touchscreen refrigerators, washers/dryers, toasters, microwaves, that they use after coming home in their Tesla and sitting across from their Apple Pro Display XDR and decked-out Mac Studio that they use to make memes and really nice iMovies with.
