It’s an absurd product. It’s a Mac Studio gingerly placed into a behemoth of a case that, itself, costs $3k, And for what? Can’t upgrade the memory or storage. Can’t add dGPUs. All you get is more ports and the ability to add internal PCI cards, both of which could be accomplished with the Studio with far cheaper external solutions. And it’s gigantic and weighs a ton.
not when you’re differentiating between “consumers” and “professionals” with regard to product classes, and in this context we’re discussing a product specifically targeted at professionals, not consumers.
if you want to play word games, this isn’t the place or time.

Who is this for? Idiots?
Apple consumers. So, yes. The same people who pay $1,000 for a $10 monitor stand or $700 for a set of $10 wheels.
this isn’t a consumer-level product. it’s marketed at professionals and starts at $6k.
Believe it or not, professionals are also consumers.

It’s definitely not targeting professionals. The “Pro” name is just marketing nonsense they slap on every product in their lineup.
everything in the marketing for the product is clearly targeted at creative professionals.
Yes, the marketing targets professionals. The products do not.
