Apple (if they were willing to expose a more wild side) should make an "M1 Pro Max Unlocked" board (or something like that) and just sell it as a bare, microATX board. It could cost exactly the same as the Mac mini for all I care, but if PC builders could use it in crazy cases and with liquid (or even liquid nitrogen) cooling, that would be so cool.
- vbezhenar 5y agoJust rip the board from Mac Mini?
- barkingcat 5y agoI bet Woz would totally do it, and he has the clout to do it too - as a retro-mod calling back to the Apple I or II
- devin 5y agoThis will never happen.
- gjsman-1000 5y agoNope, it won't, Apple will never be willing to show a more wild side. I'm just dreaming.
- qbasic_forever 5y agoIt would not surprise me to see some future Mac pro use the M1 in a desktop form with exotic high wattage but near silent cooling (liquid, air or otherwise). These chips are fantastic for video and media work and really need to get put into more workstation-like form factors.

- asdff 5y agoWould love a liquid cooled mac.
