For the first time in seven years, Apple has announced a computer. An honest-to-goodness computer—a big, ugly, powerful tower, with lots of ports, lots of empty slots, and wheels, if you need them for some reason. It’s the kind of computer that you’ll probably want to hide under a desk. The kind of computer that, for some people, will require a home equity loan in order to buy. Apple fans couldn’t be more thrilled.

For years, the “pro” community—graphic designers, virtual reality video editors, 3D computer graphics modelers, programmers, videographers, artists, music producers—have been furious at Apple for releasing a series of computers that seem to compromise performance for design. First, it was the “trash can” Mac Pro, a 2013 cylindrical redesign of Apple’s top-end computer that is largely unupgradable, widely reviled, and has been essentially ignored by Apple since its release. Then, it was the refresh of the MacBook Pro, which did away with most ports, is underpowered relative to its PC competitors, and, worse of all, has a fatally flawed keyboard.
