But he'll need more than 16GB RAM in order to be a real pro. (This is according to armchair "pros" that have been whining about the inability to exceed 16GB RAM before they've actually put their hands on a machine.)

Wait, after all the doom and gloom prognostications by all the pundit "power users" who have been yelling loudly through their social media channels, one would think no one would order the "terrible" new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar.

Personally, I don't believe any executive should gross more than 30x the amount of money paid to their lowest paid employee or contractor.
