I feel the same way about the 2013 Mac Pro, which I purchased refurbished in early 2017 and used as my daily driver until January when I switched to a Ryzen 3900X build. The 2013 Mac Pro has a wonderful design, but it's a shame Apple never upgraded it, though it would be sweet if Apple brought back this form factor since Apple's ARM chips solved the thermal challenges that made it difficult for Apple to upgrade the cylindrical Mac Pro.

- jmmv 5y agoHah. I thought I was the only silly person in 2017 purchasing an overpriced and not-so-powerful-at-the-time machine :) I got mine from eBay and it is still my daily driver! Mind you, just wrote this about a week ago on how I keep it current: https://jmmv.dev/2022/03/windows-10-mac-pro-2013.html https://jmmv.dev/2022/03/windows-10-mac-pro-2013.html
