Anti-commonsence
1. There is a description of the new Mac Pro and its limitations, such as the lack of support for third-party GPUs, which may disappoint users who relied on the previous customization options. This goes against the common expectation of a high-end computer allowing for extensive customization.
2. There is some skepticism and criticism towards the Mac Pro announcement, including concerns about its pricing, upgrade costs, and perceived lack of capabilities compared to other high-end machines. This contradicts the common assumption that a high-priced product offers advanced features and powerful performance.
