Give me the option to get rid of the stupid touch bar, and make the keyboard better by increasing key travel, and I might consider it.
So Apple responding to consumer demands is now a bad thing?
I'd be pretty p**sed if I'd waited and forked out for a new redesigned MacBook Pro, overpriced as it is for just 16GB RAM, then they release an option for 32GB later in the year because they couldn't be bothered to on launch? Apple's screwing of customers knows no bounds.
Edit: Please stop replying. I'm bored of reading responses now.
However any mention of firing Tim Cook and that's an automatic disqualification.
Preach brother!WHERE ARE THE MAC MINIS AND MAC PROS!!!!!
The machine that was most recently updated already gets a rumor and the rest are left to rot in the dust...
Give me a break. Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C is awesome. An inconvenience, yes a little for sure. But 4 awesome ports!If they truly wanted to make it a pro machine they wouldn't have eliminated legacy ports, made it absurdly thin and loaded it with mediocre & decidedly non-pro software to begin with
Yeah, upgrading computers is totally ****ing the consumer. I mean totally and royally ****ing the consumer. They should be going back to the 8088 days, right?
I say Tim Cook should be fired on a regular basis?????
Well said.Replacing a USB 3 port with a Thunderbolt 3/USB-C port, capable of 40Gb/s throughput and can be transformed or daisy chained into any other port is somehow… less 'pro'?
By its very definition it's more adaptable, faster, and standardised (which will be vastly beneficial in the future). Apple frequently make leaps like this and aggressively cut legacy stuff. It always annoys users but in hindsight, the decisions are almost always right. I believe time will prove you to be wrong on this occasion.
SD slot? Then I'm looking elsewhere
Tell that to the pros who are leaving the Mac platform in drovesGive me a break. Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C is awesome. An inconvenience, yes a little for sure. But 4 awesome ports!
Right now, perhaps (although it depends on what you're doing with it), but if you intend to keep the machine for more than 3 or 4 years, that's going to change. In 2011, 4 GB was plenty for my MacBook Air, it seemed very fast for such a small machine. I rarely came close to hitting memory compression and massive page swapping was a rarity. Now, in 2017, the RAM is frequently maxed out (most of it is already used right during the boot process) and in compression mode, startup takes a lot longer, and swapping things in and out of RAM slows it to a crawl at times (occasionally it will literally lock up for minutes at a time if I have a lot of things open).I have yet to utilize the full 16gb of RAM... Sure 32gb will be cool, more of a bragging right.
Then you're out of the game, sorry bud. Rules is rules.
I knew I shoulda waited![]()
Wait for doomsayers to spin this into a disaster scenario.
"WHY NOT 128GB OF RAM AND 2 GPU's?"
