From reading the article, it sounds like it’s an expensive desktop computer that has very little market share. Article also talks about how when it was being made in the US, employees were “contract employees” who worked for minimum wage and would leave their shifts even if production was still in progress.
I don’t see this move as a big deal, other than perhaps leaving a negative impression about the company in the US.
The $6000 price tag is the loss leader. Most will cost $15k to $30k.
If you wan’t Apple’s monitor add $6000 per unit up to 8 units.
These computers were designed for serious cranking. There won’t be a million sold. Probably 50k to 100k per year tops if that.
Since they let their Mac Pro’s go stale, there may be a lot sold up front but sales will probably fall flat in 2-3 years. Kind of like Tesla Demand.
