I know you hate wintel but . . .
Ok, so where I work we bought 35+ Mac Pros 6 years ago.
They were the wine cooler ones - remember them?
They produced vast amounts of heat even at rest which meant that at maximum performance they produced some quite impressive heat; the air handling system (lame) struggled to keep the temp in the main teaching area - university - below 23°c.
Those machines were retired in the summer of '23 because they couldn't run Sonoma, ergo they were not going to receive further security updates which means they're unusable.
These were replaced with M2 Studios.
USB connectivity has proved to be a nightmare with these; mice go awol. Epson Scanners won't function properly but then work ok when the USB cable is removed and reconnected. The mouse fails again. WTF?
Only x2 USB ports which with x2 Eizo displays are required for calibration - another testicular ache with Mac OS.
Meanwhile 6 year old Dell Alienware PCs still work and will upgrade to W11.
Go figure why people still pay a premium for Macs.
BTW our Mac guy is awesome.
