This reminds me of when Jobs came back to Apple and the first thing he did was clean house. At the time they have tons of different computer models (Performa 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx, 6xx, 63xx, 65xx, etc.) built specifically to cater to dealers. Jobs came in and said that they only needed 4 computing devices; home desktop, home portable, pro desktop, pro portable. This made is much easier to decide what to purchase - everyone loved it! Except the dealers, I guess.
Anyway, it just feels like there are way to many different models now. Are they trying to please the bean-counters and not the customer? What advantage is there is having so many different types of computing devices that really are very similar?
- joakleaf 10y agoThat's exactly how I feel too. The worst part is that the old Macbook Pro was my go-to model previously, but the new one just feels like a more expensive step in the wrong direction. I don't really want a touch bar (I use an external keyboard 75% of the time), and I do actually like to have the earphone jack, SD card, Magsafe, and traditional USB ports. ... So despite the messy list of models, there isn't really one that I want anymore. Oh, well. Maybe it will make sense in a year or two.
