Macs have unified RAM and a special MLX framework for AI purposes tailored to their M chips, which makes it possible running full sized ChatGPT/Gemini/Deepseek level LLMs locally without serious limitations. You can also join 4 macs using lightning port and make a cluster for LLM/image/video generator model. It’s a real bang for buck stuff compared to other platforms for personal use. So they disappeared because they are mostly sold out, even after price increase.
Such a great deal on a slop-generation machine!
Macs don't have Lightning ports. I don't think they ever did. Mac keyboards and mice used to.
...I think you mean Thunderbolt, which looks like USB-C and carries something like 40Gbps bandwidth.
Yeah, Thunderbolt, I always forget which is which
Thunderbolt doesn’t just look like USB-C, it is USB-C.
