    lol. People who say that overlook all of the hard work and improvements that goes into building the best in class personal computing devices out there. It's like they believe these devices pop out of a clamshell, fully formed. Or that, somehow, iterative development, isn't innovative. (Please see the first televisions then today's, and tell me iterative doesn't work). Ah well!
    I’m sincerely curious, in what ways does Apple need to innovate on their pro laptop line? Those looking for a redesign, for what purpose?

    I can see where Apple could and should innovate for the MacPro line. They should be fusing two of the M4 Ultra chips together, then fusing two of those chips together to create one of the world’s fastest desktops. Will they do that? No. But they should. 
    Who needs an Ultra x2 at home or work, that would be an Apple Server and require fans. We may eventually hear about something like that in the near future when Apple starts using Apple Silicon in their servers farms for inferencing.

    To tell the truth, I'm really surprised that Apple still offers desktops and even the iMac. Once a person invests in a good monitor or two they only reason to upgrade is to get a new processor.

    A MacBook + monitor(s) is so much more versatile and doesn't lock a person down to a desk. Not to mention toting an iMac into the Apple store for service vs. a MacBook. 
    Who said the Ultra x 2 would be for your home? Work yes. For people who are in need of high end desktops. 

    I can see why they still offer desktops, for the I/O requirements. Not everyone wants a portable so the iMac is great for those who don’t want to have to buy a monitor. 

    Just because the laptop is right for you, doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone else.

    TVs using quantum dots in the displays have been sold at Best Buy for several years now.
    When was the first time we had this in a laptop?
    2019 - Samsung launched the first Quantum Dot notebook 5 years ago.
    A cancerous solution on their part…..
    How so?

    The quote was "Can't innovate any more, my ass!" — but yes, it's definitely apt here.

    Here's the original, from the Mac Pro 2013 introduction: https://youtu.be/KWkUab6IAts?si=nN459EsUs2BDUnrZ&t=148
    I was wondering if I had the quote right or not lol
