Unless he can come up with a user fixable Mac using current technology I can’t hear him.

What kind of DIY repairs do you do to your tablet? Your phone? Your television? Microwave? Car? Ah yeah, none.

Appliance computing is here to stay. DIY tinkering isn’t high on their feature set for the customer base. Get a PC and go crazy.

I have my TV torn apart, replacing the back light, I can attach a picture if you need proof. Microwave? Pretty easy to repair. Car? Maintenance all the time. Repairs from time to time, rarely does it go to the shop unless I am too busy.

If those are the 3 choices this year, what the F. The iPhones are just getting HUGE in size. Really, any screen over 6" is a little large for a phone. 5.8" is pushing it, but now a 6.5", really? Besides a 6.1" LCD?

I get a bigger phone is easier to throw more crap into it, but to me, it seems to be taking things to the extreme.

It would be nice to see the SE become a 4.2-4.5 inch phone that is kept fairly updated. Granted, it will never be on the level of the flagships but a good, cheaper, alternative for those who like the small phones. It’ll just be a poorer processor, GPU, and camera. 

Not sure Apple would like the impact on the ASP of iPhones though. 

That said, I’ll get a 6.5” version in a year or two. iPhone 7 running great.

Can this Mac run Windows as well as the Dell?

Probably better. Mac has a better Windows driver update system than Windows does lol.

Very easy to set Windows up using bootcamp.

This has not been my experience. I find the windows on Mac experience to be subpar to windows on an OEM windows machine. A good example is poor battery life because of boot camp lacking the drivers to enable auto graphics switching on windows. My 2012 just runs the discrete Nvidia. Other issues with minors errors and sleep issues from time to time. 
Runs well but not as well

People surprised about this should get a desktop, like a Mac Pro. This is nothing new. The thinner the body , the more likely the computer will throttle,to maintain temperatures. I suspect there would be even more complaints , if fans on MacBooks made more sound.

The issue is that the i9 MBP isn't performing as advertised in these tests.  That's a completely different issue from a user choosing the right tool for the job.

Did Apple say that the processor wouldn’t be throttled? Don’t think they did, no. 

It is logical that there is throttling for the burst frequency, but it is unacceptable that a there is throttling below the base frequency, which is defined as the frequency at which   the CPU can run irrespective of the load.  

If these test results are confirmed by others and Apple has no remedy in the short term, I can only have serious doubts that Apple can still be  a trustworthy laptop supplier, who does not deceive the customer by marketing claims it cannot fulfil.

Apple would better invest more time in building the best qualitative laptop available iso. focusing on thinness, which is, for professional laptop users, not that important.

^This
It’s only logical. 

Oh please.

Try find someone who can sustained the max turbo boost speed that’s not a gaming laptop.

please read the post before.

Maybe it is you that should read his post again. The post I was replying to notes that the processor should be able to handle sustained base frequency loads. 

"I can only have serious doubts that Apple can still be a trustworthy laptop supplier."

Sure.  Meanwhile your "trustworthy suppliers" still throttles like hell, but I'm sure you know how to keep i9 throttle-free.

So we are saying Apple is of the same quality as the other suppliers? You justify a fault by deflecting. It’s the old, “every else does it.”  We pay much more for Apple produxets, I’d we wanted what everyone else is doing, we could buy it for much less. He simply notes that he may not be able to trust Apple anymore. He doesn’t at mention other suppliers, you are speculating that he trusts them.
