You will be able to resell that 192G Mac Studio for 3-4k after a few years easily, which you've bought for 6k. There's nothing competing with Apple Silicon right now for local LLMs when you look at TCO.

When was this? I worked with them 2009-2018, support was really top notch. We could get super technical guys on the call and even custom patches for our issues, but our usage was relatively simple. I contrast them with McAfee products we&#x
