Right, well, considering your nickname, avatar picture and a very eloquent style of your posts, the fact that I am even trying to have a rational discussion with you probably means thats the joke is on me. I guess by 'younger people' you mean 12 year olds?

So when you have nothing left to defend yourself you have to mock me??
That does neither sound very eloquent nor happy! Sounds more like a 12 year old fanboy!

He is among many things a standup comedian, his new standup special on Netflix is called "Triggered"
The title "Triggered" awfully sounds like the state you are in, when someone points out the shortcomings in the latest MacBook Pro release!
But let us not start a flaming war in this fine forum. Let us agree to disagree. What do you think?
PS: I ordered a new 15" because I need it for work. I am a self-employed adult FYI
You know there is a lot of stuff not to like about the new MBP but there is also a lot to like about it! And as usually the new machine looks very "sexy". I think we can agree on that?

I stand by my evaluation: They don't understand that "getting thinner and thinner until you stop working" was not a visionary design statement, it was cancer.
Yes, the craziness on thinness certainly also has bad side-effects!

I think it was certainly not meant to polarize but to point out some shortcomings with a sense of humor ;-) But then again who cares!
They are selling to people who were clamoring for a new MacBook. Why don't we see if those sales continue or fall off a cliff?
Even the Wii U sold well initially
the greedy mofos at apple should be giving all those adapters for free to every single person who purchases the new MBP to help them through the transition and justify the atrocious prices... but nope.
They rather remove the charger extension to save another 19 cents.

The analyst is only good for what product looks like a few weeks before launch because of his supply line sources. He doesn't know anything about sales.
This is very sobering to read(especially the gpu rating):

i'm not sure why a reviewer would talk about the gtx 1060m when it's a 75-100 watt card. even the old macbook pros can only handle up to 50. Thinner variant we're probably looking at around 40-45 watts.
I mean all competition!
A VERY sobering article by ArsTechnica about the GPU:
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/10/amd-radeon-pro-400-series-specs-macbook-pro/
Excellent summary - and that isn't even a joke
I still would recommend to read it - article isn't too long!
Macbooks are great - however Apple did 3 things wrong
Price is 10-15% too high even for Apple
No full pro option (32 GB, GPU)
Too strict or hard move to USB-C
If they had included a free USB-C to A adapter at least or left the USB-A ans SD-Cars on the right i am sure the outcry would be much less.
Not sure if any of this makes the execs dinosaurs.

If I remember correctly, he can't be kicked out, Jony got a Super Star from Steve that makes him invincible. Forstall just had a Mushroom.
I go so far and say that Jony is the real (inner) CEO, and has more power than all of them together.
If Jony say No it's No, and Tim is just a public Firewall.

all this crap talk about the graphics card is hilarious. The AMD ATI 460M is the best graphics card within apple's thermal limits available on the market. That's pretty much it, end of topic.
