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

I mean, it’s just a really bad value compared to the rest of the lineup. It’s basically a Mac Studio in a larger case and a PCIe breakout board bolted on. That’s it. But for twice the price of the Mac Studio and 10 times it size.

The only unique features is has are PCIe and SATA ports. So unless you really need a ton of local storage or a ton of GPU-power, there’s no reason to buy it.

If you need a ton of local storage, it would be cheaper to buy a NAS and some 20TB drives for it than to upgrade from a Studio to a Mac Pro. Especially with a 10-gig Ethernet connection.

If I recall correctly, you cannot even put GPUs in there, right? Only other pci peripherals, or did this change?
