The price bump is the thing that puts me off the most.
And while the change to USB-C is a step forward did they really need to completely abandon Thunderbolt 2 ports, couldn't they have had a transition with at least one port on the new MBPs?
Yeh I know it's not Apple's way, but forcing to discard a bunch of perfectly usable dongles and buy a new set isn't very customer friendly and that's before asking the question of why do I need to even buy $100 of dongles to connect a $2000 laptop to my keyboard, monitor, network etc.
- std_throwaway 10y agoApple should have called these new MBPs Macbook without the Pro. Instead introduce the FatBookPro with the size, battery and all the ports of the last generation MBPs but add 2-4 USB-C ports. Then make an option for up to 64GB of RAM and customers would only complain about the price - but pay it because it's the best you can get.
