all they had to do was make a slightly fancier case for a standard pc, like the old pre-trashcan Mac Pro, and then sell it for like 3 grand and they would have sold a shitload. but no, they made a pointlessly overdesigned workstation that roughly nobody will buy.

guess what Apple does with machines no one buys. they never update them and then nobody buys them and then they’re shipping a 5 year old machine (see trashcan pro).

the trashcan is a good idea as a higher-end mac mini, but with yearly refresh.

I'd call it the Macintosh and have it be an i7-base dedicated GPU higher end mini with a 2,000 bottom price.


but no instead they made it occupy the highest and and are still shipping a 6 year old gpu
