I don't care for the look of iOS 7 - it looks amateurish to me, regardless of how many people worked on it and how much effort went into it. To me, it looks awful - like something a 7 year old would put together. Through a quirk, I had to excha…

Retina pricing on the 13" models is ludicrous - they are a huge rip-off.

Sigh . . . Never mind. Clearly you have all the answers and can't fathom the possibility that someone else just may have spent more time in the field . . . E-5? Sounds like it. Another bet you'd lose - that I've been in the field mor…

Well, nice of you to imagine you understand my world. In order: Funny, the only cable I travel with is for power . . . removing capability from an all-in-one laptop defeats the point of it for a lot of people. Somehow it do…

I think this is the last iteration of the "classic" MacBook Pro. That is unfortunate. The rMBP gives up too much, and costs too much, for it to be a viable alternative for me. Three reasons: First, I require Ethernet and an optical drive. Wifi …

If true, it's the beginning of a long slide downward. And very dumb. Jobs would be apoplectic. The retail experience is part of what has put Apple where it is. While I'm sure some extra revenue could be squeezed out of the stores, I'm als…

Bye bye Blackberry. That's what I think this means - RIM just doesn't have the wherewithal to survive and compete.

A 13" retina should be interesting. If it follows the form of the 15", which seems likely, the 13" retina will be of interest to me. In a 13" I don't mind losing the optical drive, although I do dislike losing the ability to upgrade RAM and stor…

I'm glad Apple did what they did - give us a choice between two machines that both appear to be good values. I'd love to get one of the retina models for the screen and size, but I'm a bit put off by the lack of upgradability - 256 GB isn't suffi…

If so, I'd never buy one. Not having the option to upgrade RAM and HD after purchase are instant disqualifiers for me. Quote: Originally Posted by mcarling I expect the next 13" MacBook Pro to look more like this: - No ODD. - Modified Air…

I agree with you - I just hope you're right! I have a part of my tax refund allocated for a new 15". Quote: Originally Posted by wizard69 Well at least not about RAM upgradablitliy in the MBP. I simply can't imagine Apple being so far off …

Exactly correct. If the new 15" MBPs retain user-upgradable RAM and storage, I'll get one and keep my 13" for when I need an optical drive (I'm one of those who use it frequently). If the new MBPs don't, then I'll order a current top of the li…

I was unaware that you had access to Apple's internal financials regarding the Mac Pro. Unless you do, you have no idea what it would cost Apple to re-engineer the Mac Pro. Nor do we have any way of knowing what Apple's ROI targets are for the…

As I said, I feel your pain. And I hope that Apple does update the MP, even though I'm not a user. But: It takes a lot of money to re-engineer something like the Mac Pro - the case, cooling, power supply, etc. And that money has to be reco…
