I guess if a fully loaded iMac or MBP are not suitable to your needs, then you are in a particular niche where I would expect a person not to balk at $6000. There's not much either my MBP or iMac can't do and I heavily abuse them. The only thing I can think of would be very very intensive video editing, and in that case, $6000 is a drop in the bucket compared to most professional editing tools and software.

Except it’s not a drop in the bucket anymore. All of the costs have come way down. To be honest I don’t think they are targeting the everyday video producer. They are targeting the high end as like you say a lot of people could use the other products. So why wouldn’t we use the other products - they are not upgradable and rely on lots of cables and external boxes hanging off them. And for me personally the thermal design is poor. My MacBook Pro gets too hot, the fans kick in and then it’s throttled.
