Dak1999

Apple's (unfortunate) fixation with making everything thinner every year is one root cause of pulling ports & forcing some people to by these boxes. It's not revolutionary to take functionality/usability away. It's interesting to note what we get from ***$10BILLION*** in Apple research each year. Even if only $100MILLION is spent on the MacBook Pro (1%) _this year alone_, it's difficult to see how this translates to the limited set of features in this new version (or the fact that they won't even let the user decide about the tradeoffs to choose 16GB or 32GB -- my 4yr old macbook is running 16GB, where is the minimal *evolution* to support more memory??).
