I've already got a pair of big displays and a keyboard and mouse and speakers that I like.
It doesn't have a built-in 5K display or high-end GPU, but I'm not a graphics geek so I don't care. It's not the fastest, but all computers are fast enough now that it doesn't really matter to me. It's for me! It's a new Mac, and it's the cheapest model. It's the cheapest Mac for people that like MacOS but don't the need portability of a macbook or the monitor of an iMac.) * People that want a very small computer. (Who: companies with macos server programs running. * Groups with existing macos server applications that want a headless server with cheaper/newer hardware than the Mac Pro or old Mac Mini. (Who: People working in video, photography, and anyone that heavily uses a 10GB network.
It's also significantly cheaper than the iMac Pro, while also having 10GB Ethernet. In addition to the I/O a MBP has this has 10GB Ethernet, 2 USB A, HDMI, and a dedicated power slot. * People that need more I/O than a macbook pro can support. (Who: mobile developers, Why: to run builds) Possibly used in other cross platform mobile development workflows. * A mac is required for iOS development, so it can be used as a build server for teams working in Xamarin. I don't expect this product line to be the most popular mac product line, but it does have it's users. On a related note, I'm still annoyed that there does not seem to be a wealth of consumer MBs that have onboard 10G I'm hoping this allows for my dream of having two machines in one without having to dual boot. * Win VM with Nvidia GPU passthrough for gaming * USB switch to control which machine keyboard/mouse goes to Gigabyte just announced a Z390 based Designare which looked interesting. It looks like Thunderbolt 3 support might be hit or miss from what I've been able to find so far plus I do not see a lot of motherboards (Z390?) that are TB capable. I started musing if trying to get an eGPU to work with a Mac VM would be possible but that might be pushing it too far. Previous attempts had been failing due to the VM not being APFS. I managed to get a High Sierra VM converted to Mojave yesterday. Cool! Do you perchance have a writeup of your setup?
