Well, I just upgraded from Intel late last year. There are lots of users still on Intel :)

There was a magical window at Google where you could be issued an iMac Pro 5k. (To this day, the standard issue monitor is still 1440p.)

~9 years later, there are a lot of people still using it as their main machine, waiting until we get kicked off the corp network for lack of software support.

  • Was that one of the ones that could do "target display mode" and become a monitor for another machine?

    • Nope - they removed that feature, so now come the end of the year, they're all e-waste.

      It feels really stupid to have to throw away a perfectly capable machine with 64GB of RAM in 2026.
