@sickburnbro @Boomerman @Shadowman311 It really is a hell of a thing to see them go from a relatively expandable 2009 ‘pro’ chassis - which is what my studio contact is still using in his place AFAIK - up to a 2x trash can (non-expandible, total flop) and that STILL wasn’t enough. Now they’re what, $8k? For a glorified phone cpu?
I know someone who got the can and he’s loved it, bought one when they came out and has been using it day-in, day-out for more than 10 years w/o issue. He thinks that people will be moving into that model if they wanna stay in the ecosystem, some creatives are switching over to older cans or that square mac mini ‘studio’ they came out with a while back.
I kinda wonder how many of those guys you could peel away if you just polished up that autokey thingy in linux - if you could provide 90% of the mac OS shortcuts and workflow, how many would be happy to leave the plantation?
