It is a high quality tool for those who need it to do their best work.
If you think this is expensive, buy rigging for a racing sailboat.
1.5TB of RAM at this time is a waste of money. There is nothing that needs that much. By the time something does come out the computer will be old.
8TB of flash?
Meo dios!
$53,000!
WTF...I’ll buy a Cray instead. J/K
With Win-10, I wouldn’t touch the HP if it was free.
But does it have a 3-1/2 drive floppy and run DOS 6.2? That is what I need to know.
“1.5TB of RAM at this time is a waste of money.”
I wonder ... has software (OS+applications) grown anywhere that large? That is, the pieces that need to be in RAM for performance purposes?
Using it as a virtual disk seems risky since when power goes down away goes all the data.
But Apple and others wouldn’t be doing this unless some customers needed it.
Maybe super-speedy routers need all of that storage.
The authors comparing $400 wheels for $400 OS is a bit disingenuous.
Wheels are physical item, its not IP... charging $400 for them is deserving of criticism.
1.5 TB isn’t much when you are video editing multi track (multi camera) 4k movies with hours of footge.
Then it is probably not that great of a value if you are surfing the net, checking emails, and playing video games. :)
You’d probably stick on a UPS.
What about watching porn?
Just price a winch handle or a cinch cleat for a high end racing sail boat, and you’ll understand why I see $400 for wheels as understandable, even if not rational.
Price SAILS for the same sailboat, and $54K for MAC is a bargain.
If you want to win, you spend the money. Otherwise the fleet will sail away from you.
Sure it’s worthy of criticism, but that’s the market value.
Well of course. I forgot about that. Especially in 4K. So real.... :)
You've never heard of VMware?
A set of wheels isn’t worth that, I agree there are things that are expensive... apple charges that because they are apple... much like their $999 monitor stand... its comical.... Its not worth the price, but they will price it there anyway.
If a piece of equipment is the difference between winning and losing then it has a high value... a set of castor wheels, is not worth $400 nor is a monitor stand worth $1000 neither is the difference between winning or losing.
All of a sudden the $67,500 Mid Engine 2020 Corvette Stingray Hard Top Convertible I ordered seems like a better bargain than I imagined.
Think of it as second life or even third life. When this machine in “old” memory will be cheaper, games will have bloated even more than now and you may need a 500 GB just to run MS Office.
no, no, I’m just kidding bout MS Office ... which is why a TB might be a nice option down the road...
