If you are like me you generally turn to reddit to gather a general consensus on things that interest you. You may be perplexed about the reaction of the latest MacBook Pro offerings. I too was in this boat. I thought, how can everyone be this disappointed in what seems like a great update to something people love? Then it dawned on me. I had gotten sucked into the Reddit hive mind and convinced myself I was dealing with a large representation of the population. I am not. A certain handful of people are attracted to reddit, and a smaller handful actually take the time to post, and post negatively at that. I figured I'd ask around the movie and TV sets I am on and see what people think. People are overwhelmingly excited for these computers from every department down. I'm telling you, from set design, to wardrobe, to script supervisors, to casting departments, props, actors, down to 2nd ADs, PAs and extras people are all generally excited to get these new computers. I've also talked with friends in the apparel industry, and marketing and everyone seems to at worst be happy for a spec bump, and at best super excited to see what the touch bar will do for them in their workflow so if you're wondering how at least entertainment industry professionals feel about them, they are all reacting pretty positively. Nobody at all is talking about the great Microsoft migration, nobody is gawking at the price, nobody wishes the laptops were touch screen. Reddit, for the most part you guys are just fine, but on this one I have to disagree with you. I think the new MBPs are going to be great. Happy Monday. Step back from the ledge.
