> We bought a $16,599 model, and while that wasn’t the most specced-out option, it was one that creative professionals around The Verge and Vox Media felt could handle their heavy editing workloads.

Yeah because firing up Photoshop to change colors of a photograph or Premier to splice some video requires a desktop which costs more than every piece of technology I’ve bought over the last decade as a software engineer put together.

Apple knows what they’re doing, and they’re laughing all the way to the bank with customers like the Verge.

Edit: Yes, I know I’m talking about the older model which doesn’t alter the point I’m trying to make in that they overpaid for something they don’t understand.
