I've never heard anyone complain about the MBP cpus. What is yours?

You can get a decent CPU for MacBook Pro but they charge you an arm and a leg. The same with storage. A fully loaded MBP costs $6,699. $3000 too much. I even would have been okey with the price if it wasn't for the touchbar. The touchbar just makes me want to break my laptop in half everytime I try to use an editor like vim that requires pressing escape. Overall my main problem is that Apple is trying to make MBP a mainstream consumer product. It should be for the developers. Just leave this one be for the developers.

  Yeah, but drop the 4TB hard drive for a 1TB hard drive, and you're down to $3,899.00, which is just about what you asked for - $2,800 less. That $3000 is just for the insanely large hard drive and, from what I've read, that price increase just about matches up with the rest of the market.

    And the prices on the SSD don't just get you an off-the-shelf Samsung SSD from Amazon, we're talking the fastest SSDs on the market by an absolutely massive margin. https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/2018-macbook-pro-benchmarks https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/2018-macbook-pro-benchmar...

      They aren't that fast. The 970 evo nvme drives have comparable speeds.

        Which aren't in laptops anywhere so it's pretty irrelevant in this instance. It's also the case that the T2 chip is running real time encryption/decryption on reads and writes.

  Cpu prices on mbp scales really closely to the market.
