How many of you would buy a 17-intch MBP in 2018? I miss the 17-inch line, very good screens, a true desktop replacement.
Not me. Even my 2018 15" feels too big at times. But, I like the bigger screen.
And if I want even more screen I plug it into an external monitor. With the low price of monitors there is no reason not have an extra one at work and another one at home.
Plugging into an external monitor kind of defeats the purpose of a laptop or "mobile" computer.
YES. 17 inch is the perfect balance between screen size and portability in my opinion.
The last 17 inch MacBook Pro from 2011 can’t run Mojave due to lack of Metal support. It’s time.How many of you would buy a 17-intch MBP in 2018? I miss the 17-inch line, very good screens, a true desktop replacement.
If it wouldn't cost $3000, yes.
MBP 17 was never a desktop replacement, same inside components like 15"
Yes.I'd not only like a 17" option again, I'd like a matte screen option again also
Unfortunately so. While we might see many fans of it on this site, the amount of people who bought 17-inch MacBooks was very small compared to other models."Desire", or not -- there will never be another 17" MacBook Pro.
"that is all..."
The manufacturing setup costs only make sense when you can spread them out over millions and millions of products.I often think that a big company like Apple, especially Apple, should have an innovation department with limited, novel, collectors items product releases. Just like e.g. Coca Cola in Japan or tech companies in China. Apple should release novel, experimental products every week or couple of months (whenever ready), like
- 1 million 17" MacBook Pros, or
- 1 Million MacBook Pros but with 3-4 extra ports. Or
- 1 million MacBook Pros with touchscreen.
Or a mini iPhone. A black MacBook Air 2018. An Apple Pencil that works on Trackpads. God knows what. They could do it!
