Not but the one in question is

Yeah those Skylake iMacs with 5k screens for barely more than a similar quality 5k screen alone are truly thumbing their nose at you
Yes, but its the last of the MBPs that could you upgrade the drive, the ram, have plenty of ports. Now, you have a sealed computer that has to be replaced instead of upgraded to give it more longevity.
And the ability to upgrade, after purchase. Imagine having 4Tb of SSD data with a quad core i7, and 16Gigs of RAM.
and and Ethernet port! Not sticking my nose in the air. I have a 2012 MBP. I also have a 2013 rMBP.
The 2013 is way better. It's lighter. It's faster. It's thinner. It's got a much better screen. It's got SSD instead of a 5400 rpm drive.
What's the 2012 got going for it?
OK I can upgrade the ram and HD to be equal to my 2013
But hey if you think it's more pro I'd be happy to sell it for more than my 2013 is worth.
So your rMBP is sporting 4Tb of SSD storage space? Do tell!Not sticking my nose in the air. I have a 2012 MBP. I also have a 2013 rMBP.
The 2013 is way better. It's lighter. It's faster. It's thinner. It's got a much better screen. It's got SSD instead of a 5400 rpm drive.
What's the 2012 got going for it?
OK I can upgrade the ram and HD to be equal to my 2013
But even after upgrading It's still heavier, slower, bulkier and the screen is still crap...unless there is an upgrade path to a retina screen?
But hey if you think it's more pro I'd be happy to sell it for more than my 2013 is worth.

Well why not go all the way and get two 4TB SSDs? This 2012 MBP is expandable!
He couldI do yes. But I also know a fusion drive isn't 4TB of SSD.
Well why not go all the way and get two 4TB SSDs? This 2012 MBP is expandable!
That would 8Tb. Two 2Tb drives, one replacing the optical drive, is a lot more affordable.
Agreed, and to a degree, they're right but its hard to justify buying a new 2,000 computer every couple of years, when I could spend half that on a competitor, and upgrade the internals to increase longevity.
Hope it wasn't an Apple Fridge. iFridge???? No that's not it... iFreeze
If made by Apple, it'll be thinner, lighter, run hotter, and require a new Fridge when you want to place another Carton of milk inside.
All food sources would be preloaded. And there will only be one port to be used to retrieve your food. Sadly, you will have to choose between using the port to get food, or using the port to power the Fridge. You can't do both simultaneously.
If unplugged from the wall, food will go bad faster. But if it's plugged in, then you can't get to the food. So you have to choose your usage wisely.
A new fridge can be obtained when food is depleted, or has gone bad.
If you want different food choices, you will need to wait 3 to 5 years for Apple to release a new model containing more desirable food.
My apologies. replying to multiple people, in Macrumors new mobile format is rather annoying, and I may have associated other comments along with yours.
no, 95% of the worlds software is not running on OSx.
that other 95% isn't just windows. and isn't just intel. (you've reversed the logic). Apple's OSx currently only accounts for ~5% of the worlds Operating system usage.
And microsoft (except for Surfaces) never were a PC manufacturer. i'm still not sure what point you're even trying to make
and no. Stand-Alone PC's are NOT dying. in fact, the PC Gaming industry alone was worth over 35 Billion dollars in 2015 and is continueing to grow.
the PC industry is not dying. what you're seeing is that the "pre-built" PC industry is slowing down and is a mature market, where margins are narrow, and volume is key. Sales have overall slowed down in the market because for most users, whats out today, si enough. But it doesn't negate that there are users who do need more, and as we've moved on Apple has provided less to these "more" people than ever before.
and yes, judging from how long it's been, Apple maybe very well planning a full blown refresh of the lineup with new designs, etc. But that doesn't negate my point about switching to ARM. unless Apple has some magical, never seen before, never leaked, and never able to be reproduced Arm based chipset that they've magically pulled out their asses without even their own licensed FAB's from knowing, Apple is not planning on making the Arm switch here

this is delusional
idealistic dream that for many would be nice, but ultimately still just a dream. the iPad pro's are great devicves, but to think that their CPU's are even remotely full featured and capable of replacing full desktop CPU's is ignorant at best.
Also, wireless is not the best solution all the time. I sure as hell am not uploading my 4k recorded video to the cloud, just to download it to my computer again. there's a significant difference between 20mbps upstream to cloud (because lets face it, noto everyone is or has access to synchronous gigabit) and directly wired to your target. do you think a photographer, or video editor with gigabytes of recorded materials / media is going to wait all day for their material to be uploaded to the cloud before working on?
do you think corporations who required 100% up time connectivity, with 100% stable network access are going to rely on wireless? its an ideological pipe dream.
