Why do you hate it? You don’t like CPUs with wheels?
Apple looked around and saw an opportunity, and is trying to create a market for a $10k computer. Or at least an anchor. I’m not sure how large that market is right now, or if they’ve built something that appeals to that market. But there is an audience that has the purchasing power for a $10k computer, and I can’t think of a company more suited to fill that niche than Apple. But it’ll be interesting to see how this distorts price perception. Could help then sell $5k MacBook Pros next year. It definitely solves the Apple Problem or letting people’s MacBook be their primary computer, without cannibalizing their other markets.. but now they don’t seem to have a monitor on the market to pair with the MBP..
New mac pro and display are gorgeous. Their customers are designers, content creators, not necessarily engineers here on blind.
