Important to note that applications and processes follow a trajectory from stationary workstation to portable over time. The applications and processes that you can afford to run on your portable today are the ones that you could afford to run on your stationary workstation before.
When new laptops come out, the software people run on them is often the software that they previously could not run on laptops.
If they cut off the flow of new desktop applications, there will be nothing impressive to run on the laptops on launch day.
- exergy 10y agoI'm going to say that that is a fairly minor point. Most people who really _need_ pro level stuff known what they're going to use it for. CFD guys are still using software from the 80s and 90s. Same for finite element guys. Video producers already know whether they prefer Adobe premiere or final cut etc. Flashy new release titles matter much less than specs, I'd say. That, and upgradeability.
- timc3 10y agoYou are forgetting that it’s really only yesterday's pro workloads that can run on todays laptops. Willbe going to NAB at the end of the month and no doubt everyone will be talking about VR creation, 8K video editing and compositing and the workloads keep getting more intense every year.
