Soldered GPU, nightmare to service, non-upgradable CPU even though it's soldered, CPU is slower than AMD offerings which cost less... I guess the ECC RAM is a pro feature?
Anyway now that it's been disco'd it's a short trip to loss of software support if Apple pulls their usual, so you'd have to be daft to be "so inclined" as to purchase one of these.
