Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

A little bit over 10.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

I think my 2008 Mac Pro was used for a little bit over 10 years.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

Something like that.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

I don't think everything you said supports that.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

The 2019 was the last good Mac Pro, clearly.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

I know it was a shame that it got Apple siliconed, but like when it was released, there was no Apple silicon.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

So we can only, you know, even though Apple knew that it was coming, whatever, at 2019 Mac Pro was released, it was an amazing Mac Pro.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

Now, granted, the price was higher.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

As you noted, it was not as economical as it was, but I think that's as the 2008 one.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

But I think that's just a sign of the times and that Apple realized we have to move up market because that's where...

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

That's where the people who are going to be able to afford this computer that we want to make exist, and the other users are better served by our lower-end stuff.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

At that point, you could do Final Cut on an Intel laptop still, even though it wasn't as good as it is an Apple Silicon.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

So they went upmarket with it, which is fine.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

You can go upmarket with a high-end computer.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

But the 2019 Mac Pro is what they promised to that 2017 Mac Roundtable.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

So we're going to make a modular Mac Pro that's our biggest, baddest computer.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

How long will it be before...

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

Apple ever makes another computer with the capabilities of the 2019 Mac Pro, just in terms of RAM.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

It could hold 1.5 terabytes of RAM.

Accidental Tech Podcast
685: The Ability to Be Hotter

Granted, it was slow RAM, not like today's super fast RAM, but it was 2019.
