I used a trashcan Mac Pro up until this year when I replaced it with an M1 Pro Macbook. It was a great machine. Fast, silent, just did it's job and looked cool while doing it. It was like I was living my childhood dream of having a Silicon Graphics workstation.
Lol, that’s a weird childhood dream, which I also had. Ever since I saw a flight simulator running on an SGI Indigo, and I started speccing out an “affordable” O2. That was some good 90s industrial design.
I just replaced my 2009 cheese grater Mac Pro with a new machine. That was a timeless design, both inside and out, which I can’t blame Ive alone for abandoning. Apple has long internalized that expandable-monolithic tension between the two Steves.
