agreed its take-apart-able, agreed the screws are normal types, agreed its upgradeable with apple parts, but almost all of the unitary components are bespoke non industry standard elements, I’d give it a 6 out of 10 because its not using any industry standard parts, and they are apple proprietary no other manufacturer can make parts for this design without paying apple therefore its hindering human progress, industry standards based parts are what we should all be investing in. And access to these Apple parts will only be available to companies apple authorises, this will disable the average purchaser repairing hardly any part of this machine ! you want a replacement fan … that will be $250 … you want a PCI-E SSD that will be $550 … you want a graphics card to go in it, that will be $1200 … you need a new power supply that will be $600 and way more outside the US, plus labour at an apple repair centre ? how much less does any of the industry standard equivalent parts cost ? its an efeet ‘workstation’ for people on ‘workstation budgets’ who like all their ‘storage external’ ?, even supposed professionals have limited budgets and make cost optimal choices, the difficulty for apple is their is nothing between this and an imac for the budget conscious self upgrading modifying prosumer level, except a PC architecture based machine. not everyone is obsessed with aesthetics primarily and making everything slim tiny and micro above all else.
