Apple clearly don't give a fuck about making machines for the specialist anymore. Now they want every cunt except the specialist to own one of their machines.
Which makes sense as a business. Deal with it.
- yep. I think they should have 2 clear divisions though as it makes no business sense to lose a whole market either. If they had their huge consumer division andfadein11
- then a smaller pro line which included really high spec macbook pros and upgradeable desktops every one is happy. But yes I agree with what you are saying.fadein11
- But their desktops are currently upgradable. Although it'd be nice to be able to yank out the CPU, yeah?Ianbolton
- upgradable to what extend?pango
- I thought the mac pros were not? The iMacs are not etc.fadein11
- ther e isn't a single mac on the market that is upgradable, I don't consider adding a fuckn dongle an upgrade!!GeorgesII
- That's true. also why I'm building my next Mac.monospaced
- I agree fadeinset
- Cool - believe it or not I really dislike our feud. We would probably get on in real life :)fadein11
- But surely, as microtechnology kicks in further, the way a motherboard and CPU is engineered/integrate... upgrading is going to become more difficult.Ianbolton
- I've had my laptop seven years and it's only now that I really think an upgrade is needed. 7 years out of a laptop is pretty good yeah?Ianbolton
- You can upgrade harddrive and RAM on the macpro, right? What else would you need in there apart from a better GPU/CPU in 5 yearsIanbolton
- CPUs and GPUs are constantly evolving, it's bad design to make those un-upgradable. Upgrading ram is kind of useless, and the HDD is soldered on.zarkonite
- Bad design? as everything becomes integrated into one chip to make things faster and smaller, how is that a bad design? They've never been upgradeable in a MacIanbolton
- And you can buy a thunderbolt HDD running at faster than PCI speeds now anywayIanbolton
- For 3D, non-upgradable devices are a nonsense. Newer renderers rely on the GPU for grunt. Good luck running Octane on Apple's shitty, shitty, mobile GPU's.face_melter
- And good luck trying to get a 1080Ti equivalent for the Mac Pro.face_melter
- @ian, of course they've been upgradeable beforemonospaced
- @mono The CPU hasn't, has it? Name a model in which you could do this - post plastic iMac era at leastIanbolton
- GPU has always been available via PCI, but can this now be done via Thunderbolt? http://goo.gl/6L7IuN…Ianbolton
- Hello - every cunt is the specialist nowadays....see_thru
