Recent pro hardware (Mac Pro, iMac Pro, iPad Pro, and yes, the Mac mini is "pro" now) has been excellent. The laptops haven't been refreshed since Apple started firing on all cylinders in this regard.
Going all-in on USB C was the right move. I love having just one cable sticking out of my MacBook Pro to connect to a 4K display and provide power to the MacBook (and use the display as a USB hub for wired Ethernet, etc). And being able to pick either side. So for me it's the right tradeoff. For non-me's they should make a breakaway USB C charging-only cable.
(Charging the first generation Apple Pencil from the iPad Pro itself was great design, by the way, until wireless was ready. Charging the mouse from the bottom was not.)
- coryfklein 7y agoI have the latest Macbook Pro, and I hate the USB-C. I have a keyboard, stereo, and 4k monitor; none of which can be plugged into my laptop without a dongle. In fact, I do not yet have a single device that I can plug directly into my laptop. And this years after they made the switch.
