Frankly the uniformity of the backlight also looked like ****. Apple haven’t really done enough with this monitor compared to the Mini-LED displays used in the iPad Pro 12.9”, MacBook Pro 14”, MacBook Pro 16” and the 6K XDR Display.
That actually is the reason or the monitor's height, but considering that you don't know the height of the user's desk and chair or how tall the user is, calling the display stand height a fail simply demonstrates the holes in your argument.
Maybe it has to do with Apple Fitness + challenge?
As some with a Mac Pro (and a Mac Studio arriving soon), it really doesn't suck to be someone who owns a Mac Pro - there's plenty it can do that the Mac Studio can't, even for creative professionals.
That's the whole point of business. You don't simply price a product based on how much it costs to make; you price it based on the value you believe it brings the customers. The two aren't mutually exclusive here. Apple can be earning a handsome margin from them, and they can still provide incredible value compared to an Intel desktop of equivalent price, and chances are, you won't quite get the same performance in as compact a form factor either.
For 90% of the population, we’ve been there for 4-5 years now.
Yeah I'm very surprised to see this sentiment. I suspect it might be young kids who don't really have an understanding of how the world or various creative industries work. Everyone's needs are different.
That workflow is the part preventing me from being able to move our office into the Mx-era Apple. Until Apple takes over Dassault Systemes or AutoDesk and forces them to write a version of Solidworks or Inventor, or any of a dozen other pro design apps & a hundred other utilities that only run on x86, all this top dollar M1ultra horsepower would be limited to checking email, which any old iPad can do just as well.
Dude. That means everything when you're a freelancer.
Yep. I was once a pro video editor and time was money. The time spent rendering was time I wasn’t working. As a freelancer, that was more important than you can possibly imagine. A 2 minute render vs a 30 second render makes a big, big difference.
You can use a search engine to see how much Intel charges for their CPU’s. Good info to have!
Not to mention, if your Studio can give the client multiple options in the length of time your Mini could only give one, that's a massive improvement.
I've often thought the same thing. Now I only do photo work and occasionally dabble in video a few times a year as an artist/semi-pro. I have a day job.
