AirPods Max review: it's not easy to justify the price
Best non-biased review I’ve read here in a long time. For a couple hundred more you could get a pair of B&W P9. I think Apple has lost their way here. While the integration into the Apple ecosystem is great, the price is simply a money grab and an insult to the Apple faithful.

Apple preparing changes to MacBook lineup this month
Why do people feel the need to say what they are and aren't going to do? Just do it. Go to Windows and don't feel the need to pontificate. Are you needy for attention?bobolicious said:
W7 Pro is available at my local retailer (just checked). Undoubtedly there are issues with Windows, but W7 appears to have support through 2020 per http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/lifecycle, which is more than I would expect even from El Capitan sold today?thewhitefalcon said:Good luck getting 7 Pro, and that's a dated obsolete OS. Both Windows and Mac OS get a big update yearly at a minimum now, so the grass isn't greener on the other side.
One has choice when upgrading or replacing PC hardware, and can continue with existing workflows, peripherals & applications, rather than being essentially forced on to the latest version (or in some cases entirely new peripherals) to be supported for example in El Capitan, then requiring application upgrades, and retraining?
Even Apple has axed W7 in bootcamp - so do I load my needed licenses on new PCs? Parallels has been unworkable. A number of .GOV vertical PC software (ie http://www.doe2.com) does not even support beyond NT, so in fact the reverse issue might arise, yet W7 has compatibility mode...
If Apple ever wants to get beyond marginal desktop percentage adoption, do they need to be more sensitive to business needs for stability & workflow longevity?

Research data suggests Apple iPhone marketshare dropping beyond seasonal averages
I really, really tried so hard to care but I just can't bring myself to do it. The Friday slow news day is a killer. -
Ear cushions not included with AirPods Max warranty replacements
Another reason besides the sound quality verses price argument not to buy these things. -
Danish court rules Apple not allowed to dole out refurb iPhones for service swaps
The Eu has established MUCH better consumer protection laws than in the US. I think this is good. Either giver the guy a new phone and similar 2 year manufacturers warranty or tell him he has a refurbished phone which will be promptly refused, and Apple will then be required to issue a new phone regardless.
