If they truly intend for there to be a laptop aimed at professionals, these issues probably need to be addressed.

It's probably just Apple's way of segmenting the Consumer vs Pro lines. Making eGPUs a Pro feature.

I mean, the AS Mac Mini Geekbench scores are 1682/7097.

The crazy expensive Mac Pro clocks in at 1024/8010.




Two things:

1. Apple needs to protect its Professional lines from the newly-powerful consumer models.
2. The 2021 Pro line reveal is going to be fun.
