"They crippled the Mac Mini (which was quad-core, 2 drive bays and upgradeable memory) to try and drive people onto the Mac Pro" Ummmm, no. That's implausible.

Ummmm, no. That's implausible. There's no plausible way to "drive people" from a $700 computer to a $3000 computer. They're entirely different classes of buyer.
- gaius 8y agoThere's no plausible way to "drive people" from a $700 computer to a $3000 computer. They're entirely different classes of buyer. You’re thinking consumers, not businesses. Businesses or professionals will buy the tool they need to fulfill their use cases. The Mac Mini was an ideal developer workstation. So your choice was, buy the more expensive model or find some other business to be in.
