Agreed. There's been some disappointment in Intel's roadmap for Apple, but if you look at the facts as they stand today:
1. iMac - nothing since October 2015 (545 days since update vs. average of 317 days)
2. 12" MacBook - now coming up to a year old (April 2016)
3. MacBook Air - dead (or at least >2 years since an update)
4. Mac Mini - last updated October 2014
When Phil Schiller says that Apple as an organisation is made up of pro users, prior to the long overdue MacBook Pro update from last fall, what do you think they were using? Two year old iMacs? Years-old MacBooks Pro?
- hoodoof 10y agoAnd it's not only about frequency of updates. I only buy Mac Mini - and I don't want a computer that has the RAM soldered down and I don't want anything that prevents me upgrading or replacing individual broken components. Apple's level of lock in is just too much.
- Imagenuity 10y agoI agree with the Mac Mini only, for the reason it can be upgraded. I've added 16GB RAM and dual storage with an SSD & HDD. Runs current macOS great, despite being a mid-2011 model. Now a refresh that supports 4K & 5K displays along with updated CPU/GPU would be my wish.
