Wouldn't it be fun if Apple turned this latest underwhelming MacBook Pro release for developers/professionals into something magnificent on the next release? Something like a MacBook Pro, Creator's Edition that attempts to address all the criticisms of the current crop of MacBooks. Sure, those laptops will sell for a double premium and nowhere near the volumes of standard MacBooks, but that's a small price to pay for keeping their developer mindshare.
