Great! Can’t wait to play some triple-A ga…. Oh wait.

Sign up for GeForce NOW if you want to play Fortnite.

MacBook Air has 2 Thunderbolts plus MagSafe port while MacBook Pro 13" has only 2 Thunderbolts but no MagSafe. Makes zero sense!

M2 MacBook Pro 13" is not a true upgrade. The platform is the same, down to the 720p FaceTime camera, the derelict TouchBar and the same exact dimensions.

That's why Apple spent FAR more time talking about the MBA in the WWDC keynote. This is the new system.

The M2 MBP 13" is the old system with a silicon bump.

MagSafe will come to the MBP 13" in due time. Apple likes getting several years of service from its notebook designs.

Shareholders will be pissed.

Not sure what you mean by this comment? 

Shareholders don't want Apple to spend $1B for $360M in revenue. That's a net $640M loss and that doesn't fit in with Apple's expected gross margins. Hell, Apple could make more money shoveling that cash into 10 Year Treasuries.

I'm not convinced that Apple's acquisition of Beats was a good purchase.

Anyhow the future of gaming is the cloud. This isn't some pie-in-the-sky theory. 

You can play Fortnite on your Mac or iPad today with GeForce NOW.

Shareholders will be pissed.

Well, since Apple engineers have been mostly remotely working the past two years they probably disagree.

Or maybe they're using M1 Mac minis at home...
