Apple's new lineup is crippled by having only one type of port, no magsafe etc. A step backward. The Air was pretty much perfect, which is why Apple still have to sell it even though it's old. Microsoft and others are still producing their best machines by copying it's form factor.
Cook is only creating all these iPad sizes because it is seen as his legacy. "Why would you even buy a computer?" he has said. He's desperate for them to succeed. Nobody is taking the tablets anymore though.
Looks wise i could agree, but it's the OS that makes a Mac so much better than any Window's machine and that's not just my opinion a lot of people have said the same thing. To a certain degree i do understand what Cook is saying even if the wording he uses might not always be 100% correct, the iPad Pro can be used as a laptop replacement for some people, But personally i use both, my iPad Pro 12.9" is great when i need to use the Apple Pencil for drawing taking notes or editing photos, my Mac is great for when i want to type document and use a precise point and click. I see the Mac and iPad as working great together instead of choosing one or the other.
