Those professionals use desktops, not the fanless, battery powered, port-less, glue and solder mess that is the current Macbook lineup.

  No? Most all of my friends are graphics pros, and they largely prefer working on their laptop when possible. My little hobby circle is audio, and the touchbar is almost universally loved there too.

    Interesting! I have a friend who does audio engineering and soundtracks for film studios here in Toronto. Him and his coworkers swear by the old cheese graters. They're all contractors so they're responsible for maintaining their own equipment. And since their work is very seasonal, purchasing new equipment is not always an option when you don't know when your next contract is coming. Edit: asked him about the touch bar, he says he doesn't want to change his workflow to use something new when he's got all this audio equipment that works fine.

  I probably shouldn't name names without consulting them, but two of the bigger graphic design firms in Australia (bigger by half the products you see in a day are done by them) that I know fairly well are pretty much all Macbooks. The CEO and team leads also get iMacs for the office, but extensively use the laptops. There is exactly one tower in each office - the render farm.
