Sure, why not? If it's work related, it would be their best interest to move on so they can get PAID.
iOS devices couldn't have glowing logos because the screen is in front of a battery, it was a simple thing to add to the laptops because it just uses the natural backlight of the display.
Wasn't there a Congressional meeting photos and all along the back wall was a line of glowing Apple logos?
No, it's not true. Not at all true. Not even close. All of the possible mobile i7 CPU's in these systems actually support up to 64GB.
The 16GB limit for these was a design decision made by Apple to limit power consumption and reduce battery drain in the form factor that they decided to use. It has absolutely nothing to do with the CPU's being used in them.
Form over function. But honestly, that's nothing new for Apple anymore, and I'm not that surprised about it. (Doesn't mean I agree at all though.)
Think of it as a metaphoric turning out of the lights.
Plenty of badass Windows laptops out there....do ur homework.
This becomes less and less compelling with every passing moment.
Tim just laid a big turd on stage yesterday.

Umm do what now? So I guess you better not use your built in display, the glowing apple logo comes from the natural backlight of the display..... Hence why the logo is on only when the screen is on.
Edit: maybe you meant it as a joke though, I hope so.
Couldn't they use that technology that Timex used in their watches? It was very low drain. Or a small solar cell to charge a battery to drive the glow... Sad...
Wow that's a surprise, I don't know why but the lit up apple logo is awesome.
Not getting the new MacBook Pro. I will be upgrading from air either way to 2015 Pro, it's already big upgrade for me.

I really hope that this will push people to give Windows laptops (Surface Book and Dell XPS) a good look.
They're just as good, if not better than a MacBook Pro.
Microsoft also just announced that the 2017 update to Windows 10 will bring with it native support for SMS messaging with a connected Android or Windows phone (i.e. Messages functionality)
There is NO excuse for not including a $19 (retail price) cable that probably costs them around $2 to make. I guess this is what you get when you reward a company that for years, believes it knows what customers need and want better than the customers themselves.

The illuminated Apple logo was part of what was the Apple idiom. There used to be quizzes to spot how many movies used the illuminated lid-icon for blatant product placement of Apple-but that was good because it showed that Apple (then) was just plain defiant and truly different (then).
By taking that away New Apple have removed Old Apple history without any warning-and that's shameful IMO. But now their sales of MacBooks will doubtless fall - the resultant effect will be inwardly spiralling. So the Mac OS user base will fall and eventually so will Mac OS. Who could've believed that even 5 years ago?
I've still got my 2011 27" i7 iMac and its still going strong but it does look like when the time comes there will be nothing to replace it if the iMac goes the same way as the Macbook. But I don't want to think that far ahead yet and will just continue to use (what used to be) the best OS out there and just hope things have turned back around by the time that day comes ....

design wise, removal of the backlit Apple logo is a HUGE let down.
I absolutely hated it when they removed it on 12 Inch MB and now on the MBP.
it was a unique, iconic design aspect of their laptops and it really sucks to see them removing it.
as for the lack of power extension cable in the box and asking $20 extra for it, it's just sad.it shows pure greed and completely unacceptable.

Someone needs to create a version of this video for the new Macbook Pro
