No, I see the point on that sort of front.
I’m specifically talking about how they took perfectly functional machines and kinda went the other way in chasing minimalism.
A lot of users were left in the cold.
Things look so promising/interesting now. I’m all for the M1 and beyond, what it represents.
They just can’t seem to dial in things on the pro tower front in recent years. The trash can was a dud and went untouched for years, and nobody can afford the current one.
Somewhere in all that is some workable middle ground. That the smaller (and, I assume, cheaper) smaller tower is a rumor is encouraging.
Nobody asked then to completely up and abandon that $1,500-3,500 neighborhood. Still lots of pro users living there.
2021 is going to be a hoot-and-a-half to see what shows up. Come November-December it should be a pretty amazing lineup (I don’t think that transition is going to take two full years; I think they, wisely, gave themselves up to six months of 2022 wiggle room, just in case.
I think the entire lineup is going to be M-whatever come December.
