While the form factor was cool, how pissed would you have been if it broke and you were buying the exact same machine, for the same price (give or take), in 2018? Part of the "mess", I'd argue, was that Apple backed themselves into a thermal corner where they couldn't update the machine but also wouldn't cut its price so it got steadily worse value as time wore on.

> but also wouldn't cut its price so it got steadily worse value as time wore on This has long been an issue for Apple products. It's why the best time to buy an Apple product is right after an update.

  You're not wrong but the Mac Pro went a particularly long time between updates.

    Oh, definitely. Look at the Apple TVs for another example. In both cases, if Apple would drop the price, even just yearly, they would sell so many more units.
