not an apple product fan for sure ) see comment before
but if you take a look at the (of course overprized) mac pro i think the overengeneering is understandable ... thats pure hardware porn, even the venting holes are drilled to reduce sound
as said i only own one apple "product" ... the stock, because zhey have a crazy fanbase which will cultishly defend every messup ... but the mac pro is a masterpiece of hardware
.... shoud run linux thou
I’m an old Linux-head (actually started out developing tools for 10’s of variants of unix - compilation flags providing custom versions). I would love to have my mac mini running linux though, that would be awesome. I don’t think you can yet.
You'd never be able to upgrade it though.
Don't they have soldered RAM?
They sure do, and its a complete bastard. Soldered ram and disk.
My latest laptop has 96GB RAM (I run a lot of VMs) and 4TB SSD. I think I should get the full 5 years out of it.
