Apple’s M2 Ultra powered Mac Pro is the final step in their Apple Silicon transition. But without GPU support or meaningful expansion, is it worth nearly double the price of a comparable Mac Studio?

“Starting at” is the Biggest Lie in Tech – The True Cost of “Entry-Level”

Looking for electronic components and equipment? Consult the specialists! Head over to https://lmg.gg/CircuitSpecialists

Check out MSI’s epic Summer Sale today using the link below!
https://msi.page/3qUXYY9

It’s easy to look at the ‘starting at’ price for a new laptop and think it’s a great deal. But when you look closer, it’s a lie. That entry level config is barely good enough for what you need to do today, let alone tomorrow, and you can’t even upgrade the thing after you buy it!

Back in the mid 2000s it was common to cool a computer using a heater core from the scrapyard, but as those have become harder to find and water cooling components became easier to find this fell out of fashion. Could the old ways have been right though? Is it still cheaper to use a heater core to cool your CPU?
