HiDPI laptops? The thinness? Early use of UEFI, and PCIe and NVMe SSDs? The first use of the Core 2 processors in anything was the MBP, which had been PowerPC before. Plus all their interconnecticity protocols. Seems reasonably bleeding edge to me. Completely fair to hold them to it.

"The thinness" I just don't get this one. If they are engineered to last longer, and it happened to be thinner, lighter--fine. Personally, I wish Apple laid off the form. Put that brain power into making rugged products, long battery life, and ease of future repairability. When I buy anything, I care about function, especially a electronic device. I bought my first Mac becuse it allowed me to use Microsoft office, which doesn't work anymore. I could care less about how it looked. Actually, the fact that I couldn't see a screw on the device scared me. I just thought that are so well engineered, I won't need to fix it--wrong. I honestly don't understand form over function in electronic devices. But then again, I don't understand most people's mind set when buying consumer products. I looking into buying a new car. These car companies have put so much thought in gadgets, I honestly can't find a new car I feel comfortable buying. I'm back to looking for low mileage vechicles from the 90's. I'm even considering a classic vechicle.
