Apple needs to step their game up. The Mac Pro is arguably the most interesting they have produced in the last few years. Macbooks, while still elegant, haven't had a major design update since 2009. iPhone and iPad updates were evolutionary. iOS 7 is a travesty of aesthetic shortcomings, elementary design errors and bugs. Apple can't afford to be smug any more.

The screen is arguably the most important part of a laptop and making it retina while still maintaining good battery life is a huge deal.
- erokar 13y agoBy design I mean their physcial look and feel, the industrial design. They are starting to look stale.
- sirkneeland 13y agoThe flip side of looking stale is looking iconic. (not saying I personally feel they are, but they definitely have an unmistakable look over the years, similar to a BMW 3 series)
- k-mcgrady 13y agoI understand what you mean but physically the screen is one of the major parts of the design. What really needs changed about the rest of it? It's incredibly thin, durable, attractive. I agree it's a stale design but I'm finding it very hard to think of anyway they could change the appearance that would be an improvement.

- arrrg 13y agoWhat the hell? Fingers off my beloved MacBook! They spent so much time perfecting it (and continue doing so). I want Apple to do that, not flashy fashion bullshit.
