I think this is great for everyone. Amazon will do a great job delivering this solution. They are a very creative company and this fits right in with their many connected interests. Plus it just keeps the others on their toes...

We have so many people here that could run the country and run Apple...so much potential /s...

Quite the bashing without any intelligent purpose.  If you have a point of view state it productively.

This article illustrates the huge potential to bring more manufacturing to the US. We need to work harder to keep a percentage of manufacturing in the US. It is possible but we have to fight for every job. That feels like what Trump wants to do. We will see if anything actually happens. But I like the tone. All the negative comments represent exactly what I do not want in our government. You naysayers are the ones who get the country NOWHERE. Good thing you have comment sections otherwise not sure what you would do in life.

" . . . what I do not want in our government." Right, you don't want the truth, or realism. Get used to it, because you're going to get a steady dose of it from people who aren't fooled by fakery like the Carrier buy-off.

Meanwhile, the real US businesses of the future, like personal, wearable computing, artificial intelligence, environmental sciences, renewable energy, all the stuff that Apple is heading toward, haven't made a blip in Trump's awareness.

He just hung himself on the ropes again in his interview with The Times of London and Der Bild.

It is now very clear that you are full of crap after that rant.

That will be awesome for Apple to roll out new models 4 months after I invested in their below average iteration of the MacBookPro.

If you were so unhappy with it then why didn't you return it? Obviously something made you keep it. If you thought it was "below average" then why did you buy it in the first place? What are you using it for that makes it "below average"?

I find it funny that any time a negative comment is made there are alway a group that has a little hissy about it.  I have been running MacBooks for years.  The new one is not that impressive to me.  I kept my other one for 4 years which is way too long in my world so that is why I am keeping this one.  I don't have to like it.  It really isn't any better than my 2012.  Has a little more zip and the screen is a bit better also.  It is below average because the touch bar is a gimmick.  It is below average because it and maybe Sierra is buggy as hell.  Let me guess yours works just fine and you have no issues...Save your lecturing for your kids.

This is probably the reality of the situation. However, we need to be committed and driven to improve the manufacturing situation. Many have said this is dead in the US. That it is too late. That is poor thinking. There are significant opportunities for manufacturing in the US. We need to work hard together to make it a reality. It will not be easy. We have a very high percentage of people that will not work. It is an uphill battle but one that is worth fighting. We also have to realize that the landscape has changed. This means we have to get schools that are geared right for what we need in the future. Not what we needed 20 year ago. Side note. I visited a college campus a few months ago. It is a great university but I was surprised at how ill equipped they were to build on the future. We have to adapt to the times. A bit preachy I know but some people have to wake up and move the ball down the field or we will be left behind.
