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

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

Their audience hasn’t had a 6 slotted mac since the 9600.

The Mac Pro link in this page shows the Intel Xeon-based system. I was very confused

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

Almost no-one do, however there is a bunch that buys new cars and flip them all the time!

Is this event entirely AI-generated? Backgrounds seem too perfect, speeches seem too tight.

People with the immediately previous generation are not usually the audience. This was only the case for iPhone between about 2011-2019.

Congrats to Apple on completing another IA migration! It really is an incredible accomplishment to get such a massive base of customers, partners, and developers to run on a new architecture so quickly and relatively seamlessly. I remember the PPC to Intel move, which was also well done, and they'd improved even on that ... with what must be many many more users. Awesome!

P.S. Hopefully this transition frees someone to make a Pro Display with a webcam!

For the modest price of 77k dollars!!! I will use vectorization and multithreading instead, thanks!

Are you off by one order of magnitude? Or does this cost as much as a couple quite nice cars.

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

What if you needed its other features?

It's a computer. I'm sure the other features are available in other packages in one form or another.

That said, for business-to-business I bet these are great machines.

Incoming: “Not going to upgrade, I’m fine with my 1996 toaster, thank you!”

It’d be actually interesting to read from people who buy a top config and how they use it.

We've been discussing this as well, the Virtual Production production value is incredible, are they also standing on a stage outside, and this is all being composited live, with foreground passes, etc. without green screen?
