And what would be the energy cost of replacing that motor?

In car terms, it is almost always better to run your inefficient car for years until it is falling apart than buy a shiny new Tesla, because of the cost of resource extraction and manufacturing.

And when do they get their billions from? From you buying crap to make yourself feel better is the answer. If you think the resolution of your TV defines whether you live like a dog, then I suggest you have bigger problems than that.

Fairly unlikely given the noise and the fact that it would be sitting on a desk but i see where you are coming from ahahah

That’s not x86, so no.

So same lol. Thing legit looks like my bathroom trash can. There's no way nobody accidentally threw garbage in someone's computer.

Ya but that’s still not going to win over people who game. I get that it’s the trade off for Apple but I wish they would come up with a better solution. I much prefer Mac OS to windows but I need more flexibility than what Apple offers.

We go for Apple because of the whole ecosystem. The chips are great but they’re nothing without the software and hardware around them. That’s what Apple is great at and that is a fact.

People who buy computers to show off do not make Apples bottom line.

A different product in a different market.

As you’ve stated, you have more to learn.

The problem is really compatibility at this point. The M1 Max performs about the same as a mobile 3070 in the few games that it can run.

The current one costs between $6k-$45k. I suspect the higher end configs will come down in price but the ones that make sense will be around the $10-15k range as they have always been.

Pretty modest for a pro machine. The current Mac Pro can be configure with up to 1.5TB of ram.

> I don’t see anyone who genuinely works with computers using Apple anytime soon

A ton of programmers use macs. Software engineers at Google use macs, even.

Hi. I work in simulation.

Absolutely nobody is spending 100K on a single (laptop) workstation. What a ridiculously made up number. You can buy a reasonably large GPU farm for that amount of cash investment and have several orders of magnitude more compute. The vast majority of simulation codes are designed to scale well with problem size on GPUs.

Lol. In all seriousness, I love macs and have had a mbp for years but for the life of me, I don’t understand why they won’t build them with good gpus or the ability to add one. I have a pc now and will stick with a pc because it does everything, including gaming. What I really want though is a Mac, which is already great, that can also game. I would go back to mac tomorrow if that were the case.

No, what would make you draw that conclusion? Lol

except those are like $10k worth of specs and its usually outclassed in every way by the cheaper option

Can you see Tim Apple in the room with you right now?

Mmm.. no? Find me a laptop of the same weight, build quality and performance but cheaper than a macbook pro.

It could be social media’s mission or motto…

So, yes.

and we all took that personally.
