I think the idea is that instead of spending an additional $4000 on external hardware, you can just buy one thing (your main work machine) and call it a day. Also, the Mac Studio isn’t that much cheaper at that price point.

I can do that with a laptop too. And with a dedicated GPU. Or a blade in a data center. I though the feature of the DGX was that you can throw it in a backpack.
You're not going to use the DGX as your main machine, so you'll need another computer. Sure, not a $4000 one, but you'll want at least some performance, so it'll be another $1000-$2000.
Because Nvidia is incredibly slow with kernel updates and you are lucky if you get them at all after just two years. I am curious if they will update these machines for longer than their older dgx like hardware.
