I'm not complaining; I generally agree with you. But (I believe) for people to invest in Macs for servers they need to be able to fix and replace them faster than dealing with Apple would allow.
- MBCook 5y agoHonestly CPUs and memory fail very rarely. If the storage was on standard m.2 sticks and maybe the I/O was on a replaceable module in case Ethernet fails… would that be enough to assuage most server concerns? I don’t see Apple getting back into that business. But I think they have the ability to make a good option if they want.
