hey guys it's lance at mac sound solutions and today i want to talk about an idea that came
into my head after i heard about all these rumors about a mac pro mini which i kind
of was thinking apple might be doing that in the future but what if the mac pro mini
was like a center powerful hub for any mac you own any m1 mac so i could connect my macbook air to it
with one thunderbolt cable or my mac mini or my macbook pro
one thunderbolt cable to the mac pro mini and use it like an egpu use it for all that graphics power
that apple is going to be coming out with with their own graphics processors 8 core
16 core you know you can build them to order as many graphics cores as you want as many cpu cores
i think that they could do away with the imac pro you just buy an imac and if you want more
power you buy the mac pro mini one cable to it and you've got super computer power connected to
your current mac i think it makes a lot of sense now i'm going to take it one step further what if
they come out with new ipad pros with thunderbolt 4 think about it for a second you plug in your
thunderball 4 cable from your ipad to your mac pro mini and you could have ipad os on the screen
and then you could swipe over to access your mac pro mini's desktop basically able to use your
ipad pro as a touch monitor for your mac mini pro the more i think about it that is a cool idea and
maybe because they're connected that way they'd make some kind of files app you could drag a file
from mac os to ipad os back and forth that would turn your mac pro into a touch screen mac i think
it's genius and i really hope that's what apple is up to with this mac pro mini now i'm going to
take it one step further you all know the mac pro rack the 7 1 mac pro rack it's a ginormous beast
why not do the same thing with that downsize it to rack space instead of four or five whatever it is
it's huge put all the graphics processors in there pro people like to rack their stuff you go to work
you know you got your whole video system connected to it all the cards everything you need you bring
in your laptop your macbook air even thunderbolt you are now accessing your supercomputer
i really hope that's what's happening with this it might just be a standalone computer i think
that would be a big mistake i think they have a huge opportunity here and maybe that's why
they don't support egpus with current m1 lineup because the new mac pro mini is just that
it's an egpu it's a hub and it's a super computer but it makes a lot of sense to me i want a small
super computer that i can use as a hub with any mac i can plug in my macbook air i can plug in my
mac mini i can plug in any of my computers maybe you could plug in more than one device at a time
your ipad pro to one thunderbolt port and your mac mini to the other or your macbook pro
we can only dream folks and dreamers are what makes these things become a reality
here's to the crazy ones the misfits the rebels the troublemakers
the round pegs in the square holes the ones who see things differently
they're not fond of rules and they have no respect for the status quo
you can quote them disagree with them glorify or vilify them about the only thing you can't do
is ignore them because they change things they push the human race forward
while some may see them as the crazy ones we see genius
because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do
