Without GPU or RAM upgradability its days were numbered. MPX was supposed the be the ecosystem of the future but went nowhere.

I wish the Mac Studio was more upgradable. And I'll miss buying Macs that don't seem disposable. I'm already not sure how much RAM I should get in a Mac Studio. It's a balance between being locked in to what you choose, and now treating the machine as something you're not going to keep long term.

The 2019 Mac Pro is still a thing of beauty. If it hadn't had it's roadmap disrupted by the ARM transition - or if it got the rumored high end Apple Silicon - it would have been something.

@colincornaby Right there with you on the disposable thing. On-die RAM and storage is super fast and all, but I think long-term it's a huge sustainability issue. I'd rather still have them replaceable on desktop hardware.

Same reason I don't want to buy another iMac. I kind of love them, but 5 or so years down the road I end up with a lovely, useless monitor.
