Care to explain why? The Orin option seems massively more scalable and you can put in as beefy a machine as you want without paying the Apple tax which scales exponentially with machine specs.
Not anymore, now they allow a list of distributions. It has NVidia's first class support with all things optimized. Like CUDA, Pytorch, and so on. For now it's the best thing money can buy for mobile robot. I'm interested in Pytorch, CNNs, LLMs, video processing sort of things.
Community is nice, but not sure it's possible to get reasonable performance easily from Mac Studio. Don't remember seeing Apple in the list of supported platforms for PyTorch. Nothing personal, I'm interested in the results, not the process.
Correcting myself, it's there. Which makes Mac Studio an interesting option.
that said, i agree with your question!
