Given Apple’s current locked-down trajectory with the Mac, the Mac Pro was gonna die eventually, and it’s for the best that it does given it was reduced to little more than a massively overpriced Mac Studio grafted onto a useless PCIe backplane; a $12k grift, basically.

PCs at least are still modular and expandable; for now.

    My wonders are around how this will effect the video software market in say 10 years. In 2010 if you said you wanted to get into video editing I would have said I dnt know much but people swear by professional tools developes for Mac os x.

    If Mac Pros go aways, professional software wouldn’t be used by big industry, but rather just hobbyists… Which to me seems like the death of video editing long term on Mac.

      Maya still has a Windows port so it’ll be fine, also, Blender proved itself viable on the professional stage with Flow.

        So you think with no professional use people will train to use them when if you got hired by a company they won’t use them? It seems like a scare to me. I’m not an apple user, but yikes
