I'm not sure it follows that Apple should build it just because some people want it. Some people build Hackintoshes because they like building things or they want to save money. Neither would be addressed by an official tower.
- bischofs 10y agoWell to me it is important to remember who the people are that want it - These are professionals and developers that create applications for the OS (mobile and desktop) as well as creatives who have kept Apple afloat in rough times. I would think there is strategic value in keeping these people somewhat happy.
- soylentcola 10y agoAs a counterpoint, they also build them because they want the software/OS but Apple doesn't sell a machine with the hardware to run it. Your only options are notebooks, all-in-ones (essentially notebooks built into monitors), basic lightweight desktop computers, or outdated workstations with limited hardware and expandability. There's clearly a market for high powered desktop workstations but you can't currently buy the best hardware if you want it to (officially) run MacOS.
