Everyone says this because they never have to put their money where there mouth is and daily drive a behemoth like the old MBPs. My mom uses my 2010 MBP. The thing is enormous, ridiculously heavy. Huge, hard to fit in a backpack. Battery life is mediocre. It gets pretty hot too despite its size.
I would never go back to then, nor would most consumers. I want my laptop to last a long time and be portable. People moan about upgrades but I doubt that is even half a percent of Apple's consumer base now.
- _qulr 6y agoI would go back to my 2006 17-inch MacBook Pro form factor in a second. Best laptop I've ever owned. Well designed. There used to be a distinction between Pro and non-Pro. If you valued light and small over power, then you'd buy the non-Pro Mac. But Apple won't let us make the tradeoff anymore. Do Pro users even want the Touch Bar? Mostly not.
- ntsplnkv2 6y agoSure you would, that's what everyone says who doesn't have to do it or can't.
- _qulr 6y agoI still have the machine. The only reason I had to stop using it is that it can't run anything later than Lion.
- ntsplnkv2 6y agoThis is my point. It's easy to say you'd do something you'd never be forced into doing. It's just rose-colored glasses "back in my day...blah blah blah"
- _qulr 6y ago> This is my point. You have no point. My point is that I can literally put my 2014 and 2006 MacBook Pros next to each other and compare them, in the present, right in front of my eyes, not wearing any glasses, much less "rose-colored".
