And the Mac Studio can continue to be used as a regular computer. (Hilariously over-qualified, I suppose. But, no, I got a maxed out, 128 GB Mac Mini earlier in the year—when you still could—and I find it a snappy daily driver in my 'man cave' downstairs.)

While failing to satisfy existing Mac Pro demographics, now slowly migrating to Windows and Linux worstations, for all kinds of professional cards they require.

Naturally there are those that will put up with a Studio and thunderbolt cable spaghetti.

  • Thunderbolt still a thing? I coulda sworn it was all USB C now.

    • > Thunderbolt™ technology is more than a USB-C connector. Although it uses the same oval shape connector as USB-C, Thunderbolt™ technology certification mandates higher minimum performance and capabilities for cables, PCs, and accessories. You benefit from the best-in-class product capabilities to deliver the fastest cable solution for connecting to power and to all your docked accessories and monitors.
