Nothing inspires confidence in clients more than duct taping a monitor to some scrap wood.
from: SLRLounge.comMost of the internet loves to be critical of things it can’t obtain. If money were truly no object, you’d drive a fancy sports car that can do 200 MPH, even if you’re not a Nascar driver. You’d own a huge mansion, even if you only have one or two kids. And, you wouldn’t bat an eye at buying this computer, even if all you ever do is toy around with your 4K GoPro footage, or your 45-megapixel landscape photos from your recent trip to Patagonia.
Of course, if you’re a working pro in an industry where these types of computer specs are actually necessary, then you also invest in good quality computer equipment. If you’re working with 8K and/or 4K RAW/HDR video, (and getting paid good money to do it) then spending $10-20K on a computer system is likely a good long-term business investment. Well, hopefully, a good long-term investment.

Why use cufflinks when paper clips can work?
Why buy luggage when you can reuse the grocery bags?
Why buy shorts when you can just cut up dad's old jeans?
Why go to Tiffany for the wedding ring when you just got one from the Cracker Jack box?
As one poster previously mentioned, you can write this off as a business expense, calculate yearly depreciation etc. It's simply the way that the business world works.

The base 8 core is 6k for a cheese grater with what 2k worth of parts. Plus no openCL, no nvidia many creatives that use graphics acceleration like 3d artist might have some unnecessary hurdles to work around. I look forward to building a similar spec machine thats 1/5 the price and 30% faster because of OCing capabilities.

I think these will sell quite well to production houses in Hollywood, Pro music studios and of course, to all the post production crews working on the content for Apple TV that is produced in house. You know that everyone at Pixar has already signed on to get the monitors and the towers. As Apple sees it, it's a big win for them even if they don't make a nickel of profit. Part of the reason they made the Mac Pro/XDR display is to use them within their own company. They're not going to use tonymacx86 tools and 3rd party kexts to install Catalina on high end HP Xeon workstations. LOL.Apple used to make great quality polycarbonate cases back in the late 90s, fully expandable. Not sure why they make unnecessarily over the top cases for pro line. It will be another fail, even worse than the trash can Macs.
