For 99.99% of people, spending 15 grand on a Mac Studio just to run Qwen 3.8 locally is a non starter.

And nightmare fuel is just what they'll be selling at the UN this week, for this very reason.

Sam's address will probably be more riveting, imaginative, and terrifying than the last couple of Terminator screenplays. Legislators will lobby him to write the laws for them, and the ghost of Harlan Ellison will threaten to sue him.

I don't see how that math works? This is a $15k rig under benchmark and per the results it competes very acceptably against... one consumer GPU.

I really don't see who buys this, except people who want the Studio for some other reason. But nothing in the story says you want to fill racks with these instead of Blackwell or TPU parts; it's not even close.
