alt Hacker NewsI still believe the lack of NVIDIA GPU support in the Mac Pro will go down as one of the greatest missed opportunities in tech.
Anyway, the Mac Pro is dead now. There's only so much sales audio and video professionals can provide.

I don’t know about that. Apple supported some full size GPUs in past product lines and the number of users was very small. Granted, LLMs change that demand but the audience for Mac Pro buyers who would use a full-size GPU that is impossible to obtain is almost nothing compared to their laptop sales.
The missed opportunity is like with server market, now giving the workstation market to Windows and Linux.
It isn't only audio and video.
I guess that little problem with the Nvidia chips overheating in the MacBook Pro didn’t give Apple a lot of confidence
Audio and Video professionals jumped ship around the time Apple canned all the pro software
There was some bad history between Apple and Nvidia. Perhaps with a new generation of leadership at Apple things might change.
