I think this would work well for me. Most of my day is spent with SSH or RDP sessions to systems that do the heavy lifting. So I'll welcome the power and heat savings.
Though I don't think I'll be buying one soon. When I travel I have a 2018 MacBook Air and when I'm at home I have a 2013 Mac Pro. Both machines still work great for my needs, and I plan to keep the Mac Pro until Apple stops OS updates for it. When it comes time to replace it, I'll replace it with a Mac Mini, and I don't need a machine that powerful anymore.
- Frost1x 6y agoI guess I'm one of the smaller minority who prefers a hybrid with a significant amount of local compute power and remote compute power. Going all-in with thin client architecture is something I've never been a fan of, namely because it puts a fundamental resource I need to do my work in someone else's control/hands. Much of the time, this is advantageous (and I prefer someone else managing things for me when it works) but I run into far too many snags where its nice to know I can get something done with local resources that I have control over when needed.
