Forget about the card slots. Just view the Mac Pro case as a thing that can cool something that’s too hot to fit in a Mac Studio. But Apple has never made that, despite all the rumors and the attempts, and they were gonna make it, and then they weren’t. And remember a long time ago, the rumor was like it’s not on the roadmap anywhere until at least after the M7 or something, so tune in in a few years to see if that thing ever comes true.John
But that was a thing that we mentioned in the show ages ago. But that’s what this case is for. Yes, it has card slots, but it’s, but it’s like it can cool something hot that won’t fit in your small cases. And Apple’s like, “We have nothing. We have nothing that hot.”John
We could get something that hot. It would do more work. It would be more powerful. It would be faster because the faster you go and the more transistors you put on there, the more heat you generate. And it’s like, “Oh, we can’t handle all that heat. It won’t fit in a laptop. It won’t fit a Mac Mini. It won’t fit in a Mac Studio.” It’ll fit in this case. Those huge fans are begging for something to blow on.
