  • Apple's new MacBook Pro has generated 7x more revenue than 12" MacBook at launch

    These numbers certainly also indicate that the Retina MacBook has been a big flop.

    Think about it: MacBook Air machines used to outsell MacBook Pro's several times over.

    And suddenly the machine for casual users, the successor of the Air, is only slightly bigger in sales than a machine that costs much more?

    Could it be the lack of ports in the 12 inch MacBook? It's weak CPU? The fact that people don't care that much, whether it's thinner and lighter?
    Actually, the 12 inch macbook drove mac shipments through out most of the year.

    My only beef with the new MBPs is the lack of MagSafe. It is one of the simplest and cleverest things Apple had done, and now it's history...
    TBH, I found it annoying.

    claims Apple "design decisions" prevent Thunderbolt 3 devices running Texas Instruments controller chips from communicating

    This is total bs. Its more likely a driver or firmware based problem then anything else.

  • Intel's chip design, not Apple's choices, reason behind Thunderbolt 3 & RAM issues in new MacBook P

    This is such nonsense, and the saddest attempt at shilling for a corporation, I've seen in a long time.

    Here are the facts:

    FACT: Intel Skylake CPUs support up to 64GB of RAM. Mobile CPUs included.

    FACT: LPDDR3 comes in 32GB SODIMMs these days. Samsung is one manufacturer.

    FACT: If Apple had the best interest of their pro customers in mind, rather than how thin their MBP is, they could have installed one of these, or used 2 16 GB SODIMMs

    Or even better, put 8GB RAM on the motherboard, and left an expansion port for future use. They could also have used DDR3L RAM, for those customers who don't mind taking a small hit on battery life.

    FACT: There are several ways they could have accomplished this. There are plenty of 15inch thin and light Windows laptops with 32GB RAM at lower prices than the MBP, and at a similar size/weight. Why they didn't is a good question, but the answers they've given are nonsense.

    Another good question is why Appleinsider is trying to defend Apples poor decision, rather than look out for the interest if Apples customers and their readers.
    Fact, skylake supports 64gb of ddr4 ram, not LPDDR3.

    Fact, there are no 32gb of LPDDR3 ram. only ddr3L.

    Fact, the 15 inch laptops you're talking about ddr4 ram, giving them significantly less battery life then the MBP, and they don't even have 4 thunderbolt ports to power, not even the tank laptops.

    They made a big mistake with the new MacBooks. They have been making big mistakes since Jobs died. And they have been making poor excuses to cover their big mistakes. Right now they have lost their vision and they will soon lose their following. There is no one at Apple with their fingers on the pulse of the public. Angela A . is a born snob from Cincinnati, the worst kind of snob. She appeals to the 1% and Apple has followed her lead(Wasn't the watch rollout a mess/overpriced)... and will follow her right into the oblivion of... remember when....
    Yes. you must know so much more then they do about making a laptop.

    I bet you didn't even read what was posted. christ.
