The whining isn't justified? We wanted a better product, not a product that is more expensive and lacks basic connectivity. The reason people want THIN AND LIGHT laptops in convenience. What convenience do we get if we have to carry all kinds of dongles and adapters? And why do we have to pay money for them when the macbooks are very expensive. Why isn't AT LEAST a USB C to lightning cable included along with a USBC to USB 3.0? Explain that.
Someone else pointed out that the skylake included performs slower than the old processor and its already a generation old.
Battery life may be good, but lets not forget because of it, we can't go over 16 gigs of memory. That's a joke. 16 gigs may be decent for most people today, but I want 32 gigs, especially if its a year from now since they won't update these for a while.
> They got 4 ports of the fastest and most versatile interfaces for external devices ever
Great. Remove the ports that we all use and love that are not going anywhere anytime soon. Give us ports that barely anyone uses or cares about. Why not have both? No one gives a shit about a port they won't ever use. What a dumb response you made. and with the iMac they made a mistake then and are making that mistake again. For what? To save a couple dollars of licensing fees?
> What do people expect to happen to laptops at this point anyway?? I don't see any good alternative ideas being offered.
You're just one person and you don't have any decent ideas. That's why you don't work to develop new things. Plenty of people I'm sure have cool and interesting ideas that are more useful.
> Given the prices, I really think Apple should have softened this by at least bundling Lightning-to-USB-C with the new MacBooks. WHY fight within your own ecosystem?
That's Apple. Milk the customer for every penny they got by selling nice looking outdated hardware and cutting out features and ports and making them pay more for it. I can't recommend an apple product to anyone, except for the iPhone which I will probably stop recommending when a decent competitor comes around. Many Apple users are pissed as well, I really hope they throw out the CEO. He's horrible and a lot of people don't like him.
> They should've just called it a 13" MacBook, and given it a choice of more colors.
But they can milk you for even more money by calling it a PRO!
> but I hope it pushes Apple to address the actual issues.
I'm pretty damn sure Apple doesn't give a shit about its customers. They do what they want like a shady dictator and not for the people. It's only about how much they can get out of every customer and they are playing customers like a fool. I'm glad I switched away years ago and I will never go back.
