Apple unveils 16-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Pro, M1 Max starting at $2499
Oh I have ideas. But if I share them with you, you'll then have a perfect straw man opportunity to disagree with my comment on design direction. No thanks.docno42 said:
It wouldn't hurt to at least have some ideas for a direction they could go - otherwise you're just throwing out vague assurances that there is some sort of "improvement" without anything to back it up. The unlimited unknown - how bold and risky of you.Paradroid said:
You want me to do the job of Apple's design department, and accuse me of talking crap?

How would you "move it forward" though? And if you think this design is in anyway comparable to a ThinkPad...Paradroid said:
I don't think they are saying it's a deal breaker. But this is a MacBook, not a ThinkPad. The last redesign (2016) moved the design forward, this seems to move it backwards. It wouldn't stop me buying the machine but it's a fair observation.
I love it when people say crap like this without providing any further context, especially about the much better design they obviously have in their heads

Meh - how many different ways can you package laptop components? I am happy for once to see a "boring" yet eminently functional design.Appleish said:The casing looks just like my MBP from about 12 years ago.
