MP 14,8 What are people using the recent Mac Pro's for these days?

[AppleFan.]

Hi Everyone,

With the Mac Studio available, offering a lot of performance for its price, I wonder what kinds of real world use cases still make people get a recent Mac Pro like the 2019 or M2 Ultra model.

If you own one (or use one at work), what do you use it for and why did you/your team choose it over a Mac Studio or Windows/Linux workstation?

Im just interested in hearing how the Mac Pro is fitting into people's workflows these days.

I need to use Windows as well as Mac OS and I didn't want to have a PC workstation sitting on my desk alongside a Mac as well. So I got the Mac Pro 2019 back in 2022 when it was still sold new from Apple.

It worked so well for me as a W6800X 32GB / 16 core 3.2ghz model that I upgraded it to W3275M 28 core CPU. Then I got a second Mac Pro 2019 with 28 core, dual W6800X Duos, that has also been really excellent.

They both just work brilliantly.

Eventually they'll be moved on and a PC workstation will replace them and that will be the end of my time with Apple for computers.

I had a 7,1 and recently changed to a 14,8. Main reason - Expandability without external boxes. I have ten SSDs and an additional USB Card in my Mac.
