  • Phil Schiller: New MacBook Pro has more orders from Apple than any other pro model ever

    torusoft said:
    Apple has opaquely, and with a heavy dose of market-speak, pivoted away from professional workflows.  The MacBook Pro is 'Pro' in name only.  The company is abandoning professionals so it can chase money.  Some have argued that Apple has no idea who the MacBook Pro is for.  I argue they know exactly who it is for: general purpose users with cash to burn.  Apple is abandoning the people who have driven and defined what a Mac is for decades.  The marketing and sales people are in control and they're letting Jonny Ive pursue his fetish obsession with thinness at the expense of performance: https://torusoft.com/blog/preemptive-multi-talking-E22
    cool story, bro. meanwhile, I'm developing software on my iMac and my MBP. did i somehow stop being a professional overnight, because 16GB RAM?! thats so fucking absurd it's hilarious.

    SD card reader is cumbersome? Really? Then all ports are cumbersome. Just remove all ports from all devices. Pathetic!
    its a big port, and one i have never, ever used in all the years of owning my MBPs. that kinda sums it up. you use it? get an adapter for your use case. i dont want to front the cost of that compromise for your use case (and yes, any port introduces engineering compromise, its the name of the game).

    You just blew the minds of every serial Apple complainer on the internet.  Although this will surely not satisfy that user who feels that his/her personal use case should be everyone's personal use case.
    I was complaining about the lack of a 32GB option and I'm still complaining about the lack of a 32GB option. 

    I understand why, but that still doesn't change the fact that I need the extra RAM and that's why, as Schiller said, "That it might not be right for everyone on day one."

    As such, I really have no choice but to wait for Apple and Intel to deliver the product I need.

    And just for the record, I don't feel that my use case is everyone's use case. I do, however, know what my use case demands and my complaint (and those of others) was that there wasn't a 32GB OPTION. Just like some people need more disk space and may pop for a 1TB option, or play games and may pop for the graphics card upgrade.
    they're not going to build two different architectures just to give a small minority of people the option. for real brah

    Great. More emojis. Wish Apple included a search function in the emoji panel. That would make emoji use a lot more functional.
    it already does. you can enable emoji suggestions in the keyboard when typing words with emoji equivalents.
