Um... you were probably being rhetorical, but I'm up to 7 already, I can probably find another 3 after work.
Got a tip for us?

I expect Apple to blow everyone away tomorrow with A10X powered Macs.
I disagree. They're saying that they're entering into a new field. This is the first model of many to come.
Who cares what MS does... Nothing will compel me to buy into the MS eco system. Where is the Thunderbolt or new USB standard? 4 USB 3.0, 2008 circa? . ROFL Please. Innovation, my ass!
We all know (hopefully) that Tim had been acting like "Indiana Jones" and traveling places and invest companies. I wish Tim look back to history of Apple and recognize why Apple was success. Whenever I see Tim in the media and being asked about Steve Jobs, I had a sense that he was in denial/ or deflecting the truth.
Insecure nope. I'll say it, Windows has been pretty secure since Vista (dun dun dun). Then only got better since with Windows 7, 8 and 10. OSX, I am not sure, I felt like when it got more popular, more security vulnerabilities started to come out. I actually have had to format my Mac more than my desktop PC I built just because I couldn't trust it.
Crashy, possibly, I find its usually due to NVDIA pushing out a GPU update without ever vetting it. But again you will only find this problem on a computer you build yourself, one which you buy from a company, Dell or Microsoft just won't push it you device (assuming you don't use a another option to keep it up to date).
Amen. I kinda want this thing to kill Wacom, but there's no telling if it's capable of that.
... and Apple is not able to program a sufficient usb-mouse driver for their Macs ...
I just upgraded to Sierra and the scroll wheel of all my usb-mices (logitech) is laggy or to fast .. not predictable - such a crap ... scrolling trough a stack of images is just not possible

Well I've got Thunderbolt external drives because I bought an late 2013 iMac and the file transfer speed is incredible compared to eSATA or USB 3.0 which is the previous best I used. TB3 is 4x that.
Totally agree with you. I'm not buying the
but I'm buying design AND substance. Of today stands for aging overpriced technology in a boring same old same old design.
Just as an FYI: many of these exploits don't care anymore if it's windows or OSx. We've had similar malware hit the couple of OSx users we had as well.
Wow. Surface Studio looks AMAZING. Wish Apple could still do something as innovative and beautiful.
I agree, but don't understand the point. Even if it was $1000 cheaper, if you don't want touch/digitizer you are not the target audience and have lots of better choices.
I still remember when the Mac user was the niche market, so MS is catching on. I like this Studio thing'... a lot, but only time will tell if the quality is there.
Last I heard, ole Bill still had a role a role at MS as whatshisface Nutella's tech advisor. I bet he's there at least once a week, talking about stuff.
Yes of course, because as we know it, the vast majority of Windows users use Enterprise ed...*
If of course that is even accurate.
A lot will depend on the available apps and tools. Can Office integrate it? And videogames?
I have to say that this computer is amazing, but 3k for the specs is way too much. If this machine came maxed out for $3k I would be the first in line, but no way I'm paying this much for last year's GPU, non-upgradable all in one.
I just want that freaking display.
I have to say that Windows, and MS as a whole, has been much more exciting than apple in the past few years. Last year I was in the market for a laptop, the Air was essentially an ideal machine but for some reason Apple decided to leave the Air with a crappy low res display.
I got an XPS 13' instead, and I couldn't be happier. Windows 10 is actually very good and I don't miss OSX at all.

Thunderbolt was co-developed by Apple and Intel. It has since evolved into USB 3.1, so its not going away and it does provide great bandwidth that other interfaces have failed to provide. It's a shame that MS did not use the latest technology to provide their customers with leading-edge products.
it's not just the touch screen. it's that ti's a 28" touchscreen in non-standard dimension at a higher than 4k resolution, that ALSO includes full active digitizer.
the current close competitor to the display tech itself is the Wacom 28" cintiq display which is currently retailing for $2800 (without computer)
There's likely markup in there, but even as is, the monitor here is the most expensive component by a large margin. Its because of this that the price, while high, isn't necessarily unjustifiable.
You are painful right, but until 10.6.8 Apple was better -- I should have never updated one of our Macs after 10.6.8
I agree; not only my mice are behaving less-responsively, but so are the trackpads on my 2011 and 2012 machines, both built in and external. Those things used to be smooth-as-silk.
I also think that Sierra as a whole is slower than previous Mac OSes, and far less stable. I think Apple has been cheating with the built-in SSD speed and neglecting their code. They need to pull a Snow Leopard-like performance optimization trick out of their hat.
But I don't expect it.
