Apple is certainly a capable maker of hardware and software. But there’s an argument to be made that much of its audience largely cares about the status that comes from visibly owning an Apple product. That’s why they’re willing to pay a premium for products that are beautiful but maybe not the best in their respective categories when it comes to pure power.
However, what if you could have the best of both worlds? Earlier this year Apple revealed a $6,000 dollar upgrade to the Mac Pro in the form of a professional desktop tower housed inside of a big metal cheese grater. And now manufacturer Dune is offering you that same look but with all the versatility of a PC with the new Dune Pro case.
As reported by PCGamer, the Dune Pro basically rips off the Mac Pro for what we assume is a fraction of the price. It’s not a full computer, though, it’s just a case. But what many power users like about PC compared to Mac is the increased level of customization.
And you can definitely customize the Dune Pro. The case houses all sorts of motherboards, the newest Nvidia RTX 2080 and AMD Radeon VII graphics cards, air and liquid cooling, and plenty of expansion slots in the aluminum chassis. There must be a real benefit to this hole-filled design Apple went with. You might just want to wait for an upcoming “sound dampening accessory” if you want this machine to run as quietly as an Apple device.
The Dune Pro case hits Kickstarter next week. For more on Apple, say goodbye to iTunes as you knew it and check out our impressions of Apple Arcade.
