Man if theat **** don’t work then take it back a 5th a 6th a 7th a 8th a 125th Time Damn . You spent your hard earned money on it & you shouldn’t have to suffer because Apple was trying to cheap & make a thin device.

Huh … how?
Apple's current flock of brainiac's don't have the gray matter to make such an interface? No worries there.
Or, Apple can build the rest of the DC connection (MagSafe) outside the chassis, magnetically connecting with contacts, a DC current that powers a USB-C completely contained inside the motherboard to perform the USB-C functions!
They won't - lazy!
My Dream MacBook Pro . A Mixed steel & aluminum Frame with a aluminum body . 4 USB-C ports with a UHS-III port . Bluetooth 6.0 with the latest WiFi . Built in 5G . A All screen OLED Keyboard with Haptic touch 2 (Each Key feels & travels like the 2012 MacBooks even doe the screen won’t move) . Apple Processors . Face ID 2 . Edge to Edge OLED display with over 700 PPI . All new battery Tech . A Larger Apple Logo that Displays Quick Notifications & of course whe not in use it GLOWS . Wireless Charging 2.0 with speeds up to 60W . Mag Safe 2.0 . Apple Pencil Support . Smaller body . Battery life indicator . New Product unboxing. & that’s it for Now .
Um
He’s the most accurate analyst with an awesome track record
Contractors supplying their own hardware is a legal factor that carries quite a bit of weight. More likely why than them being cheap. HR.
Yes, should've included the keyboard too.
What is Apple’s gain with this stupid keyboard? Worse, why did they fuse it, when they have to spend >$700 on their $300 AC+ to fix each one? Plus, that is not green.
$7000.00 paper thin, thermal throttled to performance of the old 17 inch MBP plus a Mac Pro delay to 2020.
I'm quite happy with a 15" screen, but you know what?
... I'd be perfectly okay with a bigger screen. My laptop bag can handle it!

I think you're on to something here. There is a rumor going around about 2:1 aspect ratio, "6K3K" screen being sold as a standalone monitor. Apple might be trying to push us to a wider aspect ratio in lieu of exciting CPU or GPU developments.
[doublepost=1550473483][/doublepost]I would say keep the MacBook. Just drop it to 11 in. I love my old 11 inch MacBook Air
MagSafe actually has a good chance of coming back. If you look at the ThinkPad X1 Extreme, which is power hungry due to the GPU it uses, the machine supports quick charge via a 135W proprietary charger, but at the same time you can still supply power through the TB3 ports via conventional USB-PD power sources (max 100W as per USB spec), just without the full speed of the original charger.
Decreasing the vertical height makes for a smaller screen, not larger.
It’ll be a bezel shrink, adding about an inch to the current 15.4”, while staying at 16:10.

Wild guess: it has the same footprint as the current 15" model but with reduced bezels, the screen size could be increased.
not sure what the first part means, but if it's to bring back usb a ports, that's not happening, and absolutely should not happen at all.
the touch bar is fine. get a mbp without one if it's really a big deal.
what exactly is improper about usb c? are you just scared of having to upgrade all of your accessories?
i had to leave a '15 15" mbp because of hardware failure and i got upgraded to an '18 15" for free. honestly do not miss usb a at all, and find usb c great. wish the adoption of usb c in tech devices was far more aggressive.
Be Best, Apple. (A bow to where Tim Cook is spending more time and money today)
First - Soldering. Go back to pre-2011 MacBook Air days. Yeah, don't solder the Ram and SSD to the mother board.
The cheap thrills you (Apple) get from denying user upgrades (RAM and SSD) is offset more than conceivable by your own ability to keep those mother boards motoring.
Second - Thin is bad; don't go 2-D on us. It is the weight that is more uncomfortable. If aluminum is too heavy, think aircraft alloys (Mg-Al wheels are so common). Or go plastic/carbon fiber - no plastic ports though, like you've already done with the USB-C ports.
Third - Ports. The entire point of a laptop is that the user carries one piece of equipment that does it all - we are all not power users editing GB AV data. Most of those pros have too much respect of their work to use a laptop.
Fourth - Cameras matter. This is your whole philosophy wit the iPhones now - throw some scraps this way.
Fifth - Life. We pay a ****-load of money to buy any of your equipment; we want to keep them forever! Yes. Focus on recruiting more users - the world is full of people who are not Apple users. It is not a pyramid scheme - the max is beyond the current infants' grandchildren. (Hyperbole alert.)
Each laptop/Mac has an additional four user add-on growth, your rules. Maximize this by filling this quota.
Sixth - Repair - Laptops malfunction. Make it easy on yourself on fixing them, not junking them. Five consumers visiting the Apple store once to buy a device is better than one consumer visiting the Apple Store five times for a repair. Same "foot" traffic, better results. Don't you people have an MBA? Or ten!

No need to go from 12” to 11” for the MacBook. As it is, the 12” MacBook has a smaller footprint than the 11” Air, it’s more than 20% thinner (at the thickest point of the wedge), and it’s over 10% lighter as well.
Well, I'm actually getting excited for this year's product pipeline 
particularly if they pull another 'mea culpa' on the KB and roll back to the magic KB design or something
particularly if they pull another 'mea culpa' on the KB and roll back to the magic KB design or something They might do like they did in 2012, they released the new retina model but it was just the very top end model, and the unibody design got one extra refresh rather than being discontinued. I could see the current (2018) stock models being refreshed with 2019 internals, maybe vega standard on the higher end one, and (hopefully) bumps to 512GB and 1TB storage. This new model would become a third, high end stock config starting at $2,999 or something and would be expanded next year.
