There's just no room in Apples lineup for loved products with small sales numbers. Case in point: the 17" Macbook Pro. I have large hands, large fingers, and enjoy having a massive display on my laptop, and it was perfect for me. I would love nothing more than for Apple to make a true desktop replacement laptop. However it seems their only interest anymore is in appeasing the mass market of ultra slim portable devices which most people want. You simply cannot buy a Macbook quality 17" laptop in 2018 and that's insane. I really think there's a market opening here for someone to fill that niche.

Wasn’t the keyboard the same size as on the smaller laptops, just with acres on each side?

  Yes. All sizes, even 11" air, had the same keyboard. The touch pad might have been bigger.

    No, the 11” Air had a smaller keyboard: just look at the function keys on it.

      The 11" Air keyboard is the same width, but not quite as deep.

  Keyboard is the same but you have a lot more space to stretch out and rest your palms for larger hands. I’m cramped in 15” and 13” is totally unusable.

Every film director in the world groaned in unison when they heard the 17" was discontinued. I wish the newest version didn't have such awfully outdated specs, I'd love a 17" MacBook Pro again.

The 12" MacBook sells very poorly and it's still here.
