This might be due to the fact that a new Macbook Pro is coming. Everyone I know has held off upgrading until the new form factor comes out at WWDC.

- oblio 10y agoAre people in education really the target market for Apple's most expensive laptop? :)
- vox_mollis 10y agoThe problem there is that Google will likely release an updated Chromebook Pixel soon, also. With coreboot enabling installation of Linux on the Pixel for developers (And stock ChromeOS for regular users, of course), there is no reason to prefer MBP over the Pixel.
- codingvelocity 10y agoRequiring apple hardware to develop for ios is a pretty big reason to prefer mbp over pixel. Even if you aren't an ios developer, a development shop that does mobile will most likely deploy macs to their developers.
- SyneRyder 10y agoSimilarly, if you develop cross-platform, having a MacBook Pro that can do Windows, Mac, iOS, Android & Linux development all from one device is really compelling.

Even when they rev the MBP, there's still a ton of people who've bought retinas in the last 4 years for whom it will make no sense to upgrade.
