I am not sure if I have to pay so much extra money for fancy bels and whistles that do not help me as a programmer. I was really hoping for performance boost rather than fancy touch screen that makes me watch the keyboard instead of touch typing. What I saw from the presentation made my actually go back home and check what Windows announced yesterday, since I was quite disappointed (I actually found the presentation of the surface book more close to what I was hoping the next macbook pro should be). I believe the only thing that continues to save Apple for consumers like most of the ppl around here is that it is Unix based.

I have a long history with Unix (6th Edition on a PDP-11) and it was OS X that brought me to the Mac. I would hate to go back to Windows for commercial apps, except now there is the Linux subsystem in Windows 10. I was not impressed with today's Apple announcements and I thought the Surface Studio announced yesterday was pretty amazing. And expensive. My 2014 Macbook Pro may be my last Mac laptop. We'll see. I look forward to seeing what the next iMacs are like. I doubt at this point there will ever be a next Mac Pro.

Not really, for me what matters is the NeXT heritage, not UNIX CLI.
