ShapeshiftingFish

Since we have iPhone, iPhone Mini, iPhone Pro and Pro Max / iMac 21, 27 and Pro / MacBook Air, Pro 13 and Pro 16 (and 1000 iPads) we should definitely have a similar lineup for desktop Macs.

I can't help but wonder what exactly would Chinese do with all that silly teens data.

Sounds like a talented individual. Has he done anything productive that improves the world or makes a dent in the universe?

It totally did make a dent for me. It has reminded me of how far we came since I started my visual media adventure on system 7 and Photoshop 2.5. And how mindblowingly new system 8 and Photoshop 3 felt when they came out. How bright and promising the future seemed. And look at us now.

The power of their CPU, need to use two devices to make up for one intel cpu. 

With their new CPU I guess they will be selling two MacBooks wrapped together in one package, like juice at Costco:) 

The current iPad Pro cpu outperforms intel, so my question is why are you here? 

Slow day at mom's basement...

I work in photography and graphic design. I used to use exclusively 27” iMacs since that size became available (it’s very hard to beat the display quality for the price), but last year I decided on a laptop + external monitor since I started traveling very often. I decided that 27” 5K standalone monitors are too expensive, so I got a 32” 4K LG IPS monitor. Wonderful size. For anyone wondering, MacBook’s scaling function works just fine on it, no bothersome artifacts (native 4K is too big for my taste, so I do one scale down and it’s perfect). The monitor calibrates OK, offers adequate gamut. I love the fact that I can regulate the height, I like my display pushed way down and angled slightly up, greatly reduces the neck strain (I feel the 27” iMac is to high for me, and I am 6’1”). The biggest gripe? Quality control. Display panel started fading around the edges in less than 4 months and now it’s really bad, but I can’t send it for repair since I can’t afford to be without large display for more than couple of days. Apparently it was a frequent and known issue with that series of LG monitors that I somehow missed while researching online.
