Yes, I think it is. The first 20 pages of the MacBook Pro section in this forum are filled with threads about the new MacBook Pro. It is just insane!
I think Apple hit a very sensitive spot here. It just gave power users what they wanted. The new MacBook Pro is not for me, and not for casual users. It is for those hardcore users who need, or want, or just rejoice on, all this power.
Just for the sake of comparison, the first 20 pages of the MacBook Air section get us back to more than one year ago (October 2020), before the release of the M1 MacBook Air. The first 20 pages of the iMac section will get to threads before the release of the redesigned model in April 2021. But the MacBook Pro... the first 20 pages get us to October 2021 when it was announced. Hype comparable to the iPhone. The users of this forum cannot stop discussing it. It will probably not be the best-selling Mac, but perhaps one of the most talked about.
In just a word... wow! I am impressed, not by the Macs themselves (which do not meet my own requirements), but by the reception it had on the community of enthusiasts! Kudos to Apple!
