Reply to comment by seweso in Future Mac Pro may use Apple Silicon & PCI-E GPUs in parallel by chrisdh79
That's completely true, but I don't think any company is too big they can afford to alienate the commercial sector, and that's the direction they've been running in for a while now. I didn't use to dislike Macs. They were all we used for a while, lol. Gradually, it was cheaper to buy workstation PCs that could do all the same things. So we did, and they ran somewhat alongside. But as they start to age and wear out, do you replace them for something a year or two better in hardware performance, or do you build out a PC workstation which can either cost less or, for the same money, put out much higher performance? We don't give a shit what color the computer case is, our clients don't care what logo is on the machine, and one of them I can just slap better parts in for years instead of constantly having to buy the latest and greatest.

Total cost of ownership is lower for a mac than a pc. If your business can run on macs.... i'm not sure why you would choose pc. Maybe because people love the sound of fans?

Source? How easy is it to get the IT department to change CPUs? Company wide on a Mac and a PC? IT can literally go to an OEM and buy in bulk new motherboards and choose either Intel or AMD for CPUs or Nvidia and AMD for new GPUs.
