It is natural to think that when one pays $ 400 for the wheels of a desktop computer, these wheels are the most. It is the price that have the professional wheels of the Mac Pro.
It is certainly a beautiful wheel. It fits perfectly with the spectacular design of the new Mac Pro. They move very quietly and smoothly. All this is very well done but… these wheels have a small problem; They do not have any type of brake that fixes them if necessary.
Here we can see the popular YouTuber Marques Brownlee leaving the MacPro on a slightly sloping floor. The result is that it moves with amazing ease.

If you put these wheels on, it’s because you want it to move, right? not always, because anything that one supports in him or any blow that one gives him, for example when sitting in an office chair, he can send it to the other side very easily, pull the cables or break something. If you decide to place it on a table, it forces you to remove the wheels first, because if you have them, it is very likely that when you pull any cable or hitting it just a little unintentionally with an arm, for example, it falls off the table… and remember that this computer can cost many thousands of Eurodollars, although that is only critical if it has the Apple logo on one side
This is one more case in which the form takes precedence over the utility when designing. It’s the same thing that has happened with MacBooks keyboards from 2016 to 2019 or even 2020, depending on the model that interests you, when getting a super-thin keyboard had priority over its reliability.
