  • Apple's new 16-inch MacBook Pro reveals its future direction

    kamiltonkamilton
    It’s just beyond stupid not to have the most satisfying keyboard experience possible. That is the effing interface on a laptop. Look at the engineering involved in making AirPods hang just right in the human ear. At a few effing millimeters and make the touch irresistible. Nope. They shuck and jive and defend the errors of keyboardgate. Jony just had to have it thinner. Dumb. Shot sighted and dumb. Look at the 180 done on the Mac Pro. I expected the same initiative on the MBP. Screw it, I’m not dropping 3K on the 16”. I’ll buy a 2015 15 or 13” retina and keep on trucking. Total disappointment. Stop defending

  • Lamenting the loss of the adorable 12-inch MacBook

    My hunch is that the new Mac Pro is the paradigm shift in design.  I’m hoping that sensibility will carry on with the 2020 MBP and MBA.

  • iPad Pro 12.9-inch review: Putting Apple's 'pro' claim to the test

    This is a method of market research, I think Apple invented.  Simply, in the ever-changing world of IT in human endeavors, what is best served by a tablet and what is best served by a laptop?  It’s a moving target...  X% T vs. X% L = 100%.

    How does AAPL discover the respective %?  They offer competing form factor platforms.  Whatever “X” is, they can push in that direction in about a single product cycle and make money either way.  It’s uncharted landscapes and form factor evolution.  They do it really well.

  • Apple hits $1 trillion market cap, the first US company ever to hit milestone [u]

    Booyah!  The second trillion is always easier!  

    Evidence that Job’s philosophy, acumen, focus and work ethic should be taught to all.  His team and company continue to stride forward.

    For me and I bet most Apple fans it doesn’t matter if some PC laptop has more ports, is faster by a few milliseconds, has more cores or whatever. It’s always macOS vs Windows for me and I can’t imagine using that POS operating system. I bought my wife a Dell laptop with an i7 processor, good amount of RAM because the $2000.00 software package for her Bernina 830 sewing/embroidery machine only runs on Windows. The Dell has Windows 10 installed with all current updates applied and still takes almost three times longer to boot up than my 2013 iMac running High Sierra. On the Dell sometimes it can connect to the sewing machine, sometimes it won’t and the wife has to use a USB stick to move her designs onto the machine. If I won the fastest tricked out Windows PC money could buy I would sell it for whatever I could get for it and buy another Mac. End of story.
    If it ain’t a Mac... take it back!
