    Apple MBP - Those things are going to sell like hotcakes

    Was a little worried about the Microsoft surface studio coming out with its news tech. But the new Macbook has just blown the pants off it.

    Why do they make such a big thing of its thinness? I'd sooner have a chunky laptop like an Alienware

      Cause if it's something you want to carry with you, taking up less space is a good thing.
      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        Exactly how many threads are you going to start regarding a laptop - its a laptop for god's sake and one that has a few compromises that (even when you ignore the 20% price increase in $ prices) means its no longer suitable for a lot of our use cases.

          I'm counting one. How many did you count?

          Not everyone cares about looking cool. Buy a Dell, there's no shame in it.

              Hackaday seem to be underwhelmed

              Apple Sucks Now, Here’s A ThinkPad Buyer’s Guide | Hackaday

              This week, Apple unveiled the latest MacBook Pro and provided more evidence Steve Jobs actually knew what he was doing. Fifteen hundred bones will get you a MacBook Pro with a last-gen processor, an Escape key, a headphone jack, and two Thunderbolt 3 ports (with one port required for charging). The next model up costs $1800, ditches the Escape key for a dedicated emoji bar, and includes four Thunderbolt 3 ports.

              In the past, I have defended people who choose MacBooks as their laptop of choice. A MacBook is a business-class laptop, and of course carries a higher price tag. However, Apple’s latest hardware release was underwhelming and overpriced. If you’re looking for a new laptop, you would do well to consider other brands. To that end, here’s a buyer’s guide to ThinkPads, currently the second most popular laptop I’ve seen with the dev/hacker/code cracker crowd.
              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
