The Mac Pro was unveiled by Apple at the WWDC 2019 for a tidy fee of around RM25,000 for the base model, and that's not including a monitor display (or a stand for the display, for that matter). Initial impressions of the Apple's powerhouse were clear-it's very expensive, customisable, and has the frankly astonishing capacity for 1.5TB of memory.
And of course, there's the design of the Mac Pro. Its uncanny resemblance to a cheese grater has been a source of jokes and memes all over the social media, which made me wonder: How good of a cheese grater would a RM25,000 Mac Pro be?
YouTuber Winston Moy took up the challenge, and literally manufactured a replica of a part of the Mac Pro's chassis (I assume that Winston will not be using an actual Mac Pro in the future, but one can only hope).
The 7-minute video follows Moy as he designs and machines the "Cheese Grater Pro, the world's least functional $999 kitchen accessory". The YouTuber goes to great pains to ensure that the model (appears to be) made to scale, and finishes the process before the 6-minute mark.
Sadly, the Cheese Grater Pro doesn't fare too well against softer cheeses, although Moy explains that something like a Pecorino Romano block of cheese works with the expensive cheese grater a lot better.
Moy ends the video by repurposing his DIY grater as a soap dish-while the Mac Pro doesn't work too well as a cheese grater, don't discount the potential for Apple to expand its product lines towards bathroom products.
"The performance of the Mac Pro as a cheese grater is unsurprisingly disappointing…"
