Agreed. Cooked has cooked his goose!! He has lost the pricing plot on new stuff and still expects people to buy 5 year old ****. He's a PR machine no longer worthy of leading this great company.If you actually think about its actually incredible what Apple thinks people will do to use Apple. If you look at the given picture, and only this picture… that's $US2498 (and significantly more in places where foreign exchange and sales taxes apply) of extras there with that already over-priced Mac mini. Its not like you're going to buy all this for the bottom spec i3 Mac mini with 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD. And this is not even including needed keyboard and mouse.
Why is it that people would even consider something like this… simple… a Mac Pro that hasn't been updated for 5 years and counting.
What's comical is your comment. This is an $800 graphics card.

It's obviously analysts' fault, always producing wrong expectations because they don't have a clueIts amazing how so many products Apple introduces are not available at the original release time frame (some cases are more than a year). Its almost like Apple management has no clue what they are doing. With Jobs people were fired for missing deadlines, but now it seems its just, "Oh, well, we'll try harder next time."
Does not give one a lot of confidence in the new Apple.
Hasn't been $800 for a while.What's comical is your comment. This is an $800 graphics card.
You telling me that an eGPU with Vega 64 will not run on a 2018 Mac Mini with BlackMagic's casing? I was thinking about using the Sonnet's box with a Vega 64.
Many products can be added to the delayed list, from AirPods to HomePod, etc.I am seeing a pattern with Apple now, the Air Power and now this.
I had a meeting with Apple for work recently and they had one of these about 2 feet from my face. I was feeling physically sick. Who the heck designed that thing?Can't be unseen. It does look upside down LMAO
Why should I trust on Thunderbolt 3 since Thunderbolt 1 and 2 lasted for about only five years (2011-2016)? To get things worse, the TB3<->TB2 adapter from Apple receives bad reviews because of incompatibility issues when the host connection is TB2.
As a matter of comparison USB-A socket, on the other hand, lasted for about 18 years in Apple products (1998-2016).

December isn't too long from now.
Nvidia GeForce doesn’t support 10 bit color output and they don’t support all of Metal’s latest feature set. That would result in bugs and headache for developers.

I disagree.
GPU is another heat source and a huge power hog. And you barely need it for audio. I much prefer the whole modular design... + you can stick it away from your face.
I wont have a fan blowing on my desk if i do audio
Why? People are just saying it’s a bad idea to buy an overpriced and underspecced piece of hardware that, to make matters worse, has little to no benefit in its intended use. Hardly classifies as trolling.It’s a Blackmagic product sold by Apple, just like the LG. Monitors, or LaCie drives or whatever. Why is this Apple’s problem?
This forum has become the most ridiculous troll den on the internet. Really getting stupid.
I mean, I guess that's fine if you like having them separate... but you can't really disagree that it's a janky setup. It just is! A clean, clutter free desktop means that everything should be together. And the best form of modularity is when everything's internal. External modularity is just messy.
In principle, I agree with you, but there are much more effective and meaningful instruments than threat of dismissal. These are ultimately stupid and helpless and thus weak methods.
Is this an “apple product”. I was under the impression that BlackMagic is an independent company and Apple is only associated with this whole product via a “Made for” certification
If BlackMagic is independent than being late is not a mark against Apple but against their partner

[doublepost=1543591499][/doublepost]There was a time when I pinned all my hopes on Thunderbolt and an eGPU. Sadly, Apple is a few years too late but not a few dollars short, as always.
