Just wanted to check-in on everyone else who bought one of these back near the release in 2019/2020. The discussion on them has understandably quietened down and I was curious who stuck with theirs and who quietly switched to a Mac Studio or similar.
I was planning to keep mine going for longer, but now might sell (despite the resale value being low) due to a few changes; might need more portability post-pandemic, downsizing my belongings in general, MacBook Pros are realistically getting powerful enough to be my main machine. Also, honestly the reduced amount of heavy lifting I've had to do during a 'difficult' time for the film industry probably plays a role.
I know they're probably getting popular in the enthusiast space now and people who want to boot Windows, but I guess I'm asking more about users who paid full price to get what they needed at the time.
One thing that I maybe didn't consider at the time is how much more use I'll probably get out of my Pro Display XDR in the long run. I find it really hard to use other monitors now! I'll probably keep it even if I switch to a MBP.
