It depends on what you want to do with the machine. A friend of mine has a Yoga 900 and that thing is just perfect for a light workload at home or on the road.

It depends on what you want to do with the machine.
A friend of mine has a Yoga 900 and that thing is just perfect for a light workload at home or on the road.
But for a more intense workload I'd personally rather have a beefy and bulletproof IBM-style laptop which I can rebuild on my own with a screwdriver and cheap parts from ebay.
- sotojuan 10y agoMacBook Pro has always been marketed as a "Pro" machine (obviously) for content creation and programming. It's the last product they should be making thinner for no reason. People like your friend have the Air and the new MacBook. Let us workers have a powerful machine!

- dolguldur 10y agoThis!!! I simply can't understand why the folks at Apple don't get this. But then again it seems to be all about the looks now. When I first heard a recent rMBP under load, I was shocked and embarrased how loud it is. I mean, I would actually feel embarrassed when using this in a library. And yes, it's a matter of what you're using it for, but to me this noise was similar to an ugly sticker saying "Not for regular and prolonged use under high load"
