Doesn't the new top tier Mac Mini fill a lot of the role the trash can Mac Pro did? You can hook up GPUs to it with the thunderbolt ports. I think the top model is faster than the trash can Mac Pro.
- whywhywhywhy 7y ago> You can hook up GPUs to it with the thunderbolt ports Thunderbolt GPU cases are hundreds of dollars. For a dual GPU Mac Mini setup (which would be a mass of cables and require 3 outlet plugs) you could afford a 3 GPU Windows tower. As someone who used to be a pretty extreme Mac evangelist I really did look into all this before I made the switch to a Windows machine.
- wffurr 7y agoSure, Windows machines have always been cheaper for similar specs and performance. The Mac Mini and GPU setup is way cheaper than the new Mac Pro and hits a bunch of the use cases (development, machine learning, gaming) that people wanted a Mac Pro for.
- arvinsim 7y agoThe current and last generation of Nvidia GPUs are not officially supported by MacOS. How is that good for use cases which uses CUDA cores?
