If this is hogwash, tell me so, but it just seems that any other realistic scenario that requires this level of hardware (like research, rendering and AI) would be significantly cheaper and better supported outside of Apple's ecosystem.

The only tangible market for a Mac Pro is professional Final Cut users in a professional setting, no? I don't see the contradiction here honestly. Pressing Start is one popular way of starting a program on Windows, so I don't understand that line of argumentation. That's way worse than having to right-click a Candy Crush icon to remove it once IMO.

If you want to use any of the Unix aspects of macOS, you have to start off with Apple's lame and old versions of even basic Unix utilities and programming environments until you go and install some other 3rd party things to fix the situation. And before anyone says anything about Apple not pre-installing 3rd party software.I think that's incorrect. This is no different than Apple pre-installing things on macOS/iOS. I'm assuming they installed Candy Crush because it's a lot, lot more popular than Solitaire or Minesweeper with today's crowd. They're just on the wrong end of the spectrum for how I like to do things.Īnd I never got any ads on Windows - just pre-installed apps like Candy Crush and Skype. Apple just gives you nearly zero choice compared to Windows and most obviously, Linux. What I really, really like is being able to do things the way I want to do them and not the way some godless corporation has decided it should be. If you don't like the default configuration you can change it or install 1 program (7+ taskbar tweaker) to make it just about perfect.

Apple just doesn't care about practical things, they are constantly focusing on how things look, how thin or light they are or how they can make the most amount of money by removing options and claiming everything is always better that way, when really it just serves to remove the amount of work they have to do to support things like you know, physical buttons, headphone jacks, options/modes in software and so forth.Īnyway, the UI in Windows 8 and 10 were also completely configurable to make it more like the original Windows UI. They'll have to install things like iTerm with it's own tiling manager, to manage 3 terminal windows.

They'll put Chrome into full screen and then struggle to get the detached devtools window back up. I watch people using macOS daily and I swear, they are constantly swiping to find that full-screen app they lost because of the complete lack of window management in macOS. It's not even in the same class as Windows/Linux. However, if you're going to create things you're going to need to be multi-tasking and - hey, I have multiple iPads and I use them all the time - but I'd love to have a contest between what I can get done with Windows/Linux versus what you can do on an iPad because there's just no comparison as far as I can see. Sure, an iPad is fine for consuming documents and doing light markup. Every quarter there are only ~9 million iPads sold for every ~34 million Lenovo/HP/Dell laptops and half of those iPads have got to be for kids from what I can see. I don't know anybody that does serious work on iPads. Is Metal supposed to cover that use case and compete with CUDA? You aren’t getting CUDA on Mac no matter what hardware configuration Apple comes out with. If you made a Hackintosh system with NVidia you’d still be SOL. Unfortunately if you like macOS they are the only OEM.Īs far as the mid-range video market that you talk about, what about the iMac Pro (has ECC memory) or a high spec iMac is insufficient for that task? Sure, it’s not as nice as your dual 1080Ti setup, but also, NVidia isn’t actually a viable option for Apple anymore thanks to their disastrous support for the platform in the past.

That’s the market Apple sells in, not the low-margin custom built PC parts market.Īpple doesn’t cover every use case of the personal computer. If you walk into Best Buy how many towers you think they’re selling compared to laptops? Is it really a problem that the Mac Pro is only for ultra high end users? Apple hasn’t made a mid-range consumer tower in over a decade now. I think the machine is squarely aimed at businesses making the purchase, not consumers. I think they know they have customers who will pay the premium.

I don’t really think Apple cares about that drama.

Apple didn’t say those things - like you said, bloggers, critics, people whose interest is in making you read about Apple and continue clicking on articles, they made up all these different reasons why Apple would or wouldn’t make a tower.
