Indeed, but that's a bit of an oxymoron as any Macbook Pro is not a "low/mid-tier priced machine"
We all know what is meant by “low/mid-tier”. This is pointless pedantry. Next someone is going to come by with the throwaway comment complaint about how OpenAI isn’t “open”.
Fair enough, I was just arguing even Mac users might not have the cash or the patience to commit into another machine.
We've seen the same with Nvidia's GPUs going from the 10 to 20 series. If people don't perceive higher gains without compromises, they won't buy it.
