The real-time rendering demos of the Studio were incredible. If the pro is 4x that it would be insanely cool. If I were still doing music videos I’d kill to have one of those on set. Or what we did for Kanye’s Yeezus tour (live motion tracking of the dancers with some kinects and putting them into models projected on the screen) - could’ve been so much cooler with this much compute in a small box. You’re talking about this as if you have knowledge from working in an industry that you clearly haven’t. $100,000 fragile rack or $8,000 shoe box you can drop and it’ll still work fine.
The visual arts this thing is going to enable us going to be amazing, and we haven’t even seen the Pro yet. One former client has been texting me all day about ideas from 10 years ago that weren’t feasible but now are with this lil thing. I keep telling him to wait for the Pro then we can take some REALLY neat ideas off the shelf.

Aside from the fact that you're making my point for me -- you think the Mac Studio could do the job you imagine a Mac Pro doing -- there is this: You tell your former customers to wait for an unreleased, as yet unscheduled update to a product to which historically Apple has displayed considerable, time-insensitive indifference, rather than order maybe multiples of the product that has been announced, or try to make it work somehow with kit that exists? I'll note down your prediction about $8000. That, I guess, would be interesting. But if it's that cheap it's going to be after the chip shortage is over, surely.
