I want a thicker laptop. Apple is oblivious that Pros want _more_ functionality, not less. Editions that would frustrate their supply line but be incredible: - MBP Engineer: 32GB+ RAM, 2+ NVMe SSD, 10gbe, dedicated real A12 ARM chip for simulating iOS - MBP Scientist: 32GB+ RAM, an FPGA with fun Apple SDK, dedicated GPU - MBP Video: 4 SDI ports (integrated BMD DeckLink Duo 2), timecode BNC, dedicated GPU, 10gbe - MBP Audio: MADI and AES50 ports, 8 mini TRS inputs and outputs designed by Lynx or Apogee Across board: fast SD card reader, HDMI even if mini. Releasing even one of these sure would indicate that they're with the times. I'll admit to being an odd user though, my dream laptop would have a 16x PCIe slot exposed on one side. aside: It's good to see Blackmagic Design get such a loud shout-out from Apple. Since dabbling in the live production world I've been consistently impressed by their FPGA and industrial design chops. possible acquisition? https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HM8Y2VC/A/blackmagic-egpu https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HM8Y2VC/A/blackmagic-egpu
