More than half the problem could have been solved if Apple offered both with and without touch bar Macbook Pros People
love MAC laptops but lately in the name of design changes, has gotten
less of value. Hope, that changes in 2019 Macbook Pros release with
Intel's Sunny Cove 10nm processors and Apple back to basics for Macbook
Pro design.
They do offer a 13" without the TB, just no 15"
Apple's fixation on thinness is the real issue here. Sure! Some folks want a thin system so sell them that in one series. But there are Pro's that want a tank of a system to use in the field.
Think of it this way ... You wouldn't take race car into the amazon forest you'd take a jeep. The 'Pro' moniker at one point meant a durable system, thats no more! I can handle a thicker and even heaver system if its durable and offers what I need for ports. MagSafe, 2xUSB-A 4xUSB-C, Ethernet, older keyboard and having the i9 CPU not throttled or cooking my legs. Having expandable RAM and storage would also go a long way too.
At least on the bolded point, to date, the 2016 - 2018 so far gave a better overall reliability in corresponding years of availability than the 2012-2015. We've talked about this before when we published keyboard failure rates, and we'll be talking more on this next week.
I’m thinking about similar things earlier. Maybe also how companies in general dealing with failure rates, and how that impacts the quality of a product.
