This is surprising! - They are also cheapish ($699 pre edu-discount, and there are volume discounts for edu from apple) - Also low power (🌲 green ocf) - Also more power than the OCF needs - Proposal: Buy ONE for now as a testbed, to see if it's viable. If it is, buy lots more and do a full desktop refresh.
