This is not intended as a replacement for Mac Os computers, imho, this will be perfect for Apple's response to Chromebook, "affordable" small touch-screen notebook based on an evolution of iOS rather than a degeneration of Mac Os, aiming at education mainly, and moms and pops who will make the jump from iPads... In regards to Bootcamp and VMs, I've been a long time user of both (Bootcamp and Fusion), but since Microsoft released version 10 of their RDP client for Mac Os, I've mainly used my work windows desktop in remote, very smooth experience, and that is on a 12" MacBook

Oh, you mean believing in actual facts rather than your unsubstantiated claims of a sinking ship, doom, etc? Yeah no problem.

Where did I wrote anything about Apple being doomed. This post is about the Apple stock (aapl) next earning report, and the stock, lately, has been like a ship sinking, worst, the captain and his senior officers are thinking everything's fine and maintenaing course, even throwing away life-jackets (SE). Think about it for 2 seconds, would I want to get back in at a lowerprice if I thougt Apple was doomed?

Having sold my last AAPL shares at 212$ in november, I've been watching the boat sink since then. I was thinking that I might have an opportunity to buy back at a nice entry level (below 140$) after next earning reports but the current management is so disconnected from reality, plus the global context, I see more downside coming, I'll wait for 110$. Signed Ex AAPL-long

Very strange point of view. Sinking ships and management disconnected from reality doesn't build the biggest, most profitable public company in history with the highest consumer satisfaction ratings. Their P/E indicates there is more value to come despite what investors think they know about Apple. But doooom, yes, always doom for Apple...yet, 40+ years they're still here, the only PC guys still standing from then and eating up so much of the profits to boot.

Things change you know. I don't dispute that Apple WAS at a time, not so long ago, the most profitable company with the higher consumer satisfaction ratings. Then they lost more than 35% of their value in 2 months or so. And people buy less and less iPhones and MacBooks because they're much too expensive for what you're getting. And they will lose more if they continue offering gimmicky improved (faceid, emoji, touchbar, no travel keyboards...) iPhones and MacBooks at stupidly excessive high prices while removing features no one asked to remove (audio jack, home button, touch id, usb-a, hdmi, ethernet ports...) But hey, feel free to continue thinking they're the most profitable with the higher consumer satisfaction company in history if that makes you happy, that's what counts, after all.
