Reply to comment by ntack9933 in Future Mac Pro may use Apple Silicon & PCI-E GPUs in parallel by chrisdh79

The people who actually need the power of a Mac pro can easily afford a mac pro and it’ll pay for itself over its lifespan. These aren’t consumer machines, neither is the Mac Studio.

At the end of the day your average user is unlikely to even scratch the surface of what a Mac Mini with an M2 Pro can do (if that). The Pro line is for workstation grade hardware that’s designed for stuff like high end video editing / compositing and such.

If anything Apple has watered down the “Pro” name by slapping it on literally everything but the fact remains that a true Mac Pro isn’t meant for everyone and it hasn’t been since at least the low end 2010 models.

I bought $3k mac pro in 2010 (im a designer and musician). That thing was a beast and its still my music machine 13 years later. Money well spent.
