  • The new MacBook Pro: Why did Apple backtrack on everything?

    marshallgmarshallg
    Spot on review! I just picked up one of these new laptops and love it!

    Not only was HDMI with dongles a royal pain, it was almost impossible to find a dongle that could deliver true 4K60 444 video. Most defaulted to 4K30 for me. Now I can get full 4K60 HDMI.

    The new MagSafe design is pure genius: The power adapter itself is USBC, and comes with a USCB to MagSafe cable. AWESOME!!! If I lose the MagSafe cable, or if it gets damaged, I don’t need to buy a whole new brick, or even another MagSafe. I can just use a USBC cable and my Mac keeps going.  Or, buy the new cable and keep the old adapter, because the cable is detachable from the charger! And I can still plug in a powered dock or standard USBC charger to any of the three USBC ports if I want. 

    I’ve been on the road without my MagSafe charger before, and finding a replacement was inconvenient and expensive. Apple put the customer first with this design, and I appreciate it. 

    And the keyboard!! OMG, a real keyboard.  How can you not fall in love with this laptop? Great job, Apple!
