Sad. Most people who buy laptops for business and general use buy 15” laptops and now Apple has made them unaffordable and added capabilities most users don’t need or want while removing feature like hdmi, MagSafe, functions keys (touch bar is stupid) and USB-a that people need and they still have the worst most unreliable keyboard in the industry. Customers want a 15”laptop, 4 core, Intel only gpus. Now apple does not have an affordable 15” laptop. I am buying an dell XPS and running win10 and unbuntu. Apple just lost a customer. John ivy and tim should be fired for ruining the MacBook family. Apple is brain dead stupid. Steve jobs is crying in his grave,

More than 10 years ago I ditched Windows and started my kids on Macs. It was a great decision as from then on I never had to fix windows issues and my kids never had to deal with slow starts, BSOD, never ending prompts and notifications, viruses etc. You see them open up their Macs and almost immediately continue where they left off. Sure I’ve replaced their Macs to use faster and lighter ones, but I don’t usually get the fastest and meanest model. 

So if the price is a bit steep, I’ll wait. Save up more then buy. But I would not want to switch back to windows. Just not worth the hassle just to save a few bucks.

Who knows, with Jobs gone, sooner or later the folks at Apple may grow heads that are too big for our good and start to lose respect for customers. We’ll see.
