I interacted with one last week. That interaction confirmed everything I said earlier about the MBP (horrible keyboard, bad choices about ports, etc.). I've been around the consumer tech industry a long time. I've shipped a considerable amount of consumer computing gear and am very familiar with the design process and the many tradeoffs that happen when you take something from a cool idea to heavy in someone's hands. One of the places I did this was Apple, in fact. Apple seems to have decided to shift the market for the MBP by making tradeoffs that don't target any of the professionals I know. I also know that (a) my predictions about the hardware were correct, and (b) none of the professionals I know plan to buy one, beyond the one or two samples we're getting into our group just to make sure we're making the right decision. And now we're looking at Linux laptops in a serious way. Professionals, yup.
