I’m curious as to opinions.
No PCI-E, but more Thunderbolt (and 2x the speed)
Dual GPUs, but are they upgradeable in a few years?
Max RAM?
etc……Yeah or nay ladies and gentlemen?

Yay for me

Perhaps you can help us – how well will Adobe Apps support Open CL on the AMD cards in it when it comes out? If there is no NVidia and therefore CUDA Option will there be a massive performance benefit from using a PC instead of it?

Need real world performance and price info first.
I guessed it would be a ‘super mac mini’ w/only external expansion via Thunderbolt and I was close. I got the shape wrong, lol. The industrial design is very interesting (ex. all components share a single heat sink which is the hollow center of the tube) but needs some real world testing to see if it’s worth it or not.

Can’t you use one of the Thunderbolt ports and a Thunderbolt chassis for any needed expansion?

Exactly

100 per cent fail on every level.
I am super happy we decided to leave Apple behind. It would be very, very tough to come up with something more compromised and stupid as a workstation replacement.——

Can we upgrade the video card? Can we add an external DVD drive? Why does this “thing” look like something of a Star Trek movie? Inquiring minds, mine included need to know! At least it will be made in the USA, have to give them credit for that.

Care to elaborate a bit on that, Frank??
