Kinda unimpressive since it seems that it's just mac studio with pci-e expansion

More so given the drivers issue.. I expect OWC and a few companies like AVID will develop proper tools for their hardware but all in it's not going to be nearly as approachable. Also the limit of 192gb on Unified Memory might still be an issue too.

We'll see what happens with release, but as someone with two Intel Mac Pros in use, not quite sure I see a reason to switch still (though my laptop is the M1 Air released 2 years ago).

I didn’t see a reason to upgrade and I feel I am their audience here, I own the last one.

I’d been wondering how they were going to handle expandable memory with the M chip, since the integrated memory seemed pretty central to the design - seems like the answer is, “they’re not.” Be interested to see if PCI expansion is sufficient to satisfy the Max Pro market.

TBF I had the Macbook from 2015 before I felt like upgrading to the M1 in 2021. You usually buy Macs every year?

I wouldn't buy a $7000 computer without a discrete GPU.

Don't you think their audience might be people who do have a reason to upgrade?

What if you needed its other features?

For the modest price of 77k dollars!!!

I will use vectorization and multithreading instead, thanks!
