@kirb Honestly one of the underrated killers of desktop towers may have been the inability of slotted RAM to keep up with soldered RAM. Esoteric PCI cards were nice but most of the desires were upgradable RAM, upgradable GPUs, and lots of hard drives. Apple’s divorce from nvidia and their desire for unified memory killed the GPU upgrade, soldered RAM killed that upgrade, and thunderbolt made external hard drive enclosures about as effective as internal drives. I’m still going to miss it though. The ability to just buy a nice desktop tower for $2000 and upgrade it over time was great.
