Really you’re complaining you can’t plug in a 4th display into your computer? The fraction of the population who does can afford the Max, together with the 3 extra monitors.
I’m not trying to justify Apple here, but this usage seems quite niche and it’s understandable to me to need a non-base setup. It doesn’t sound ridiculous at all. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of notebook users never even plug a single monitor in.
- jader201 3y agoI’m using the same Dell 1920x1200 monitors I’ve had for 10 years. And have been using them across many desktops and laptops. Including my current 2018 MBP that happily supports them (via 3 native USB-C ports, with one left over for a hub). I say it’s ridiculous because the computers I’ve been using over the past 10 years — most of them much less expensive than a Max — have had no issues with them. Not because it’s a common need.
- unlikelytomato 3y agoI might argue that what you are describing is exactly why it's a bit absurd. It would be surprising to me as a user to discover such a limitation. If I didn't read about it here, I would probably find out after the return window and then be pissed that they took a stand on this particular artificial market segmentation.
- cududa 3y agoThe vast majority of people wouldn't return something because it doesn't have a feature they weren't even aware in the first place that it didn't have, because they don't need it. That's just weird.
- unlikelytomato 3y agoPerhaps they should also only allow users to plug in an external mouse if you buy the pro or Max chip.
