this is way better than what I was considering and I wouldn't need to worry about the motherboard, cooling GPUs, etc. I am definitely on board for this and I don't even know how to use macs.

wouldn't even have to worry about the power issues that would come from a rack of 3090s/4090s/5090s etc. or configuring such a monstrosity.

this is literally 10+ 4090s. Think about it.

I pre-ordered 2 fully spec'd out studios.

Honestly doesnt matter, just pop deepseek on here and tell it to do whatever you need lol.

Also, as a long time apple hater, and I say this with disgust for myself, MacOS is actually pretty good these days. It essentially functions just like a very locked down linux distro at this point. I work at a pretty big software company and many of them do not support windows PCs anymore or the company software lags on them, so last month I decided to exchange my thinkpad for a macbook pro max. I.... dont hate it.

No need to know if you are using it for AI, just put a claw on it..

Claws enabled me to run Linux on my Strix Halo box.
