Ah. The massive business VR market. Yes, that’s the market Apple should build MBPs for![]()
And yet no one has explained who the MBP is for. Power emailers?
Did I miss where you linked to all this costing less? That’s great these laptops come with a True Tone display. I thought only Apple did that.
Yes, it's true that no one else has a True Tone display. No one else has a retina display either. Can't fault that logic. I am excited to see how professionals who depend on their displays color being accurate enjoy the constantly changing color on their display.
But imagine the promotion and raise you’ll get, not to mention the tail, when you pull out your MSI GT83VR, plug in both adapters (yes, it actually needs two power adapters), open a can of Monster energy drink, strap on your business VR helmet and proceed to give a killer presentation on 8 monitors. Pro as heck. Man, Tim just does not get it.
I don't know what's worse, that you don't see how people might need to do any of those things, or that you assume they do them all at once. Yes, it's true that it needs two power bricks. On the one hand it has TWO 1080 GPU's, and unlike the 2018 MBP it doesn't have performance of an 8 year old mid range card.
I think Tim gets it. That's why he launched them without sending postcards to the world. No keynote. No fanfare. Except for a reference to a CPU that is nearly a year old, the product page doesn't even mention that they are new. Tim has is being very clear. He does not care about the MBP and this fanboi attitude is making it harder for him to kill it.
