Apple: please don't buy Mac Pro. We don't know how to make it any more obvious. We pushed the price way up, we took out all the storage and RAM slots, and no longer support GPUs. We thought about doing more, but no consumer should ever buy or want to buy this machine. It is for very specific niches. We’d discontinue it if we could.

Mac Pro believers: …well maybe the *M3* model will double the core count and start adding features back in! And it will probably have a chassis redesign!

Apple: 🤦

@stroughtonsmith Well, Rotten Fruit Inc also added quite a number of little irritating bugs to macOS that make it clear that the Pro especially (but technically even the Studio) are not exactly very much in favour.

Generally, you are supposed to buy your hardware ("internal" at least) from your fruit vendor, and if you guessed wrong about your needs, you can sell back it back for scrap value, while rotten fruit will refurbish it, and sell it for nearly the full price again.
