What makes the OP think Tim Cook had any real say in any of the design of the MBP? If anything, Tim probably lets the hardware leadership make the decisions.
I think the Watch and Apple's shift to privacy are Tim's contributions to the world.
- wmf 7y agoFor one thing, Tim didn't fire the "hardware leadership" (Dan Riccio?) who shipped a garbage keyboard for N years in a row.

- mixmastamyk 7y agoBy eliminating the socket probably.
- soneil 7y agoMy understanding of the soldered RAM is that it allows them to use LPDDR. It's not about thin, it's not about spending two cents on a socket, it's a genuine engineering trade-off as part of their near-obsessive take on power management. Interesting that he starts off claiming that Apple sweat the details instead of trying to blind you with numbers - and then proceeds to completely miss such details.
