the big reason it was a failure was because they never upgraded the hardware and charged the same amount the entire time it was on their website for sale. they never lowered the price.
@ this has Dual physical graphics card and ram can be upgraded to 64 gb cheaply. In theory, LLM models need graphics card and more ram - so this may do well. Not sure but it is possible.
It was neither best nor worst. Let's not forget the one with the half basketball with screen on arm. You can't upgrade those either due to the curved shape.
@jonnyreverb no. I have reasons one is not plug and play device meaning you can't plug in and be able to drag and drop one pacific song, pic or video to the phone is all our nothing. There security is way too secure lets say you have one device or you can't access any of your devices for some reason and you are locked out of your email if you have one device or you can't access any device and email. Say goodbye to all your purchases and photos and music and apps. My friend had just a phone can't access her email and her phone was locked (it was my apple account since she did not have a credit card or debit card and no one in her house was tech savy her mom did not work and the father was a jack ass) so i called customer service for help and offered every peace of document to prove the owner of the device they said they can't unlock it. Third you have to have debit card or credit card on file to use the device.
@jonnyreverb and they want all the money meaning you can't get apps unless it's approved by them and they get a commission and there computers can't upgrade or repair yes there are shops you can repair but depends on what to repair unless you send it in to them and pay them
@@MypronounIsKing yeah, the 360 was the one who actually competed sure to it's innovations, catalogue and mainly cheaper price and ease of playing pirated games, it sold 85 million units while the PS3 sold 87. Then the PS4 and PS5 totally outsold the Xboxes in the rest of the world, only competing and selling around the same in a few countries like USA and Mexico. PS2 sold 157M vs 25M Xbox PS4 117 vs Xbox one 58M PS5 65M vs Xbox series X/S 28M That's how.
@ damn, those numbers are huge. Rip Michaelsoft. how did Sony smoke Xbox so bad this time around like what did they do differently is the million dollar question. Artificial shortages?
Neither the best nor the worst but this thing looks amazing. And the thermal design is crazy
The processors sounded reasonable cause the iPhones and MacBooks aren't very comparable to those many years later 😅
From what I heard it was bad at staying cool
I always think about upgradability and then never ever upgrade until I need to replace it completely...
it looks really cool, would look even better with a fan at the bottom of the middle hole that blows hot air out the top.
I don't know about the features but I love the design. I guess beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder 😂
I would love to see somebody use a Apple Silicon in this now! Hell, maybe three 😂😂

Classic Apple logic. All about the sleek “modern” design, everything else is secondary.
From the sound of the specs it sounds pretty decent (for the era it released in)
@yeetskeet691 except the price. Over priced belongs in a trash can. Like all apple products.
Is it good for AI LLM modeling?
I’m not familiar with AI LLM modeling but I’m pretty sure Apple Silicon Macs will easily outperform this thing

I love this shape very much! Only I could not afford it ! 😅😅
It does look amazing
It was neither best nor worst. Let's not forget the one with the half basketball with screen on arm. You can't upgrade those either due to the curved shape.
Ah the G4 iMac. Classic design, I was never a fan but I know a lot of people loved the look of that thing.
I’m still using 2010 Mac Pro and it’s perfect
I thought T-Mobiles 5g router was THE trash can 😂😂
lol had to look it up and that definitely looks similar
It’s not worse than a G4 cube. But because of all of this we now have an amazing Mac mini.
Apple is not innovative the headphone jack simple and it's design and apple can't even do that
I want it now just for how interesting it is
wouldn’t pay more than like $200 but it would be interesting to own and tear down
I've seen these on ebay for around $200 or a little more. I still use mine for some tasks, love how it has six thunderbolt ports.
On the real, I thought that was a blender 😂😂
As always the problem is the price!
yeah they never lowered the price the entire time it was being sold.
Most unique Mac for sure. So beautiful inside and out.
It’s a dreadful machine that has massive thermal issues. And having said all that, I love mine and it works a treat thanks to OCLP.
Most beautiful computer ever...
Yea they're called isheep
I love my trashcan mac :)
The best ever
It’s looks great
just a gimmicky cilindrical case
ok. make a smaller dual gpu a decade ago. add osx on top of that
Yes.
Na all apple stuff is just trash anyways
Trash for people who don't know what they are doing. Soccer mom BS.
i dont like their ecosystem that much but i cant say their stuff are trash tho〽️〽️

I like it
failure for 3000$ not bad 😂
It's like the new xbox, what ever is called now
@@Abyss-Will the 720
@MypronounIsKing I bet it would have actually competed against the PS4 of they had named it the 720 lol, it would have made more sense.
@@Abyss-Will lmaoo did it not compete ? I never had a ps4 only ps2 and Xbox 360

Base model of the "trashcan" in 2006 started at U$3000.00?
WTF?! And people actually bought this?! I am now convinced Apple Corporation is a cult...
