Hands on: Apple's new 13-inch MacBook Pro has a lot of bang for the buck
My wife uses a 2014 Air for writing 2-page Word documents, uploading photos to Facebook and showing cartoons to our daughter. The important things are low weight, good battery life and ability to close laptop any time then open it later and continue working, well also a durable metal frame - nothing to do with the specs. And all the wifes/girlfriends of my friends are the same, like still using 10-years old laptops.
I thing you are overestimating the performance needs of non-technical people. Nothing wrong for the companies to have a base model $500 cheaper by using i3 and 4GB RAM. -

Study: Apple Pay at 9% adoption in US, lags far behind PayPal and traditional payment meth...
nottellinyou said:It’s very simple! Retailers do not like it or want it because they can’t trace the sale! Retailers use your credit card number to identify you. They use a hashed version of that, and other cards you use, to create a unique customer record on you! The data is used to understand shopper behavior, brand affinity, etc., who helps merchandise stores and select the assortment. Because Apple Pay proves them no traceable data it’s considered like a cash sale and non-traceable. Apple needs to further update the loyalty program capabilities to address some of this so companies like Starbucks will support it. -

Review: The BenQ EL2870U monitor is an inexpensive gateway into 4K & desktop HDR
How can it be ”HDR” with 325nits when the lowest HDR spec demands brightness of at least 400 nits? Also paying $300 for a TN panel? Looks like Benq tried to get all the fancy ”4K HDR” labels on the box without delivering any of the quality to back them up. But hey! At least it’s cheap.
