Oh great. Klobuchar. Often has her mind made up before ever getting the facts. Some seriously cringe stuff with her. 

Great. Now let’s get back to making the iMac all it can be. 

Great move.

Disappointed by the no design refresh. iPad Pro style thin bezel screens and Face ID should have been included in the new MacBooks. Every other PC manufacturer is now making top line notebooks with modern edge to edge screen designs and Apple is still shipping a machine that looks almost identical to what they first released in 2015. Face ID is the most baffling thing of all. The Mac is the best suited platform to unlock the power of Face ID and it’s the only platform where it’s not available. 

Honestly, I think everyone who has not recently. bought a Mac would have loved to see a design refresh. However, it seems. to be the wise move with the optics of - "hey, these are the same Macs you have always loved" type of thinking. Anything else would have made recent customers feel shorted. As smooth as Apple makes it appear, this is a rather tricky transition. 

Also, we can expect the more impactful, game changing differences to show up on the Pro lineup (not to say that the budget line isn't already shaking up that respective category - it certainly is). This is the "budget" section that Apple has just revealed.  The. 16" MacBook Pro is currently a beast of a machine and could hold for a bit. The. iMac likewise. But the iMac and 16" MBP seem to be good candidates for M (or P?) series AND a hardware aesthetic (with form following function, of course) redesign. Personally, I would expect them by Spring '21. 

I don't expect two years to go by from today until we see an M series (or P series) Mac Pro. We will likely see that machine by Winter '21 / Spring '22. 

Apple sure looks great when they beat their own guidance, eh?

I notice the price is the same as before, so rather than dropping the price due to cheaper CPU and increasing accessibility for people, they're just absorbing the extra profit. Great, that's the Cook Way. ߙ䦬t;/div>

You aren’t buying a collection of parts, your buying functionality.

If you don’t think the value proposition works for you, don’t buy it.  Frankly I’m surprised they didn’t raise the price - this little thing called inflation means they are already grossing less just from that alone.  

If you want cheap crap there are plenty of other vendors to choose from out there.  Have at it.   I have no problem paying more for a better experience.

Yes, all these added bells and whistles are nice, looking better on webcam etc, faster ML, but those things are super niche. Better battery is great, but having 10 hours vs 20 isn't essential. When's the last time you worried about how you look on webcam, or how fast ML is? It's actually less functionality for me at least, as it can't run Windows which I use for parts of my job - And so does Apple. Amusingly, the Mac Pros are running Modelsim, which is a logic analyser. And it's Windows only. I used Windows on my Mac regularly at uni, if I couldn't, I would have got a PC laptop. Same for several of my friends at uni.

Seriously? I think it's time to take a hard look at your university. Most any university these days has platform agnostic web apps and integrations. If yours doesn't, I certainly hope they aren't offering any tech related classes, because they are stuck in the 2008-2010 era. get out ASAP and find a university that is a much better use of your (or your parents', or government taxpayers') hard earned dollars. In 2020, any university that has a learning system locked to a singular platform is a relic.
