Apple’s new MacBook Pro laptops are not designed for professional

>>57428786
Yea, I've been saying this for years, now. The rMBP could passably be used as a mobile workstation, but the lack of expandability hurt it.

>>57428786
Is it just me or is this new touch bar a really really ugly and unfunctional feature?
It kind of destroys the clean aesthetics of the mbp completely, and i cant imagine how its going to be used interestingly.
Maybe i should go try it out at the store

tim cuck has single handedly alienated the business macbook users

he should be congratulated for being so completely and utterly incompetent

>Apple’s 2016 MacBook Pros carry on the Pro moniker dishonestly. At least we should all hope that's the case — because if Apple actually believes that these new laptops are suitable and sufficient for intensive professional needs, then the company's long and happy relationship with creatives may be heading toward a calamitous breakup.

Wew!

Vlad really went in

>>57428903
he's more interested in selling watch bands today anyways. I wonder if Apple will make any computers 5 years into the future

>>57428987
by the way, the moment Apple went retard with token diversity (including women everywere in their keynotes, and blacks flooding their ads) I thought things would get bad for them and now everybody's losing their minds about Apple. Why do multi-billion companies keep falling for the meme?

I don't think i have used the usb slot on my laptop since i installed the OS.

No you moron it's very important, maybe even the greatest innovation to personal computers since the keyboard. How else is a user supposed to use something like a finger to point at and launch programs?

Promotional, as in they are meant to promote the Apple brand.

Doesn't seem too useful for my use. For any program I regularly use, I'm better off using shortcuts. I also suppose there is a lack of tactile feedback.

He's given Macfags the shaft in favor of iFags, and thus far it's resulted in Apple swimming in oceans of cash that it doesn't know what to do with. They flushed untold billions down the drain on the car project, but it was just a blip on their SOAs.

Apple's products are all shit now but Cook is a monster at making profits. Pro users can fuck off and use Precisions for all he cares, because they don't make up any kind of significant market for him to squeeze for profit.

You can't replace RAM, can't replace storage except with Apple storage, they don't offer discrete graphics on the 13". Taking away the ports just sealed the deal. It's not even remotely Pro.

You can't stick any decent video adapter having only 12 pcie lanes. 4 for m2 drive, 4 for thunderbolt, the rest are for wifi and bluetooth.

>>57433078
4 lanes could easily handle a decent display adapter. The wireless could be handled by the PCH.

>Why do multi-billion companies keep falling for the meme?

Because they get their multi-billion value from their stocks, and the stock prices are affected by how everyone THINKS the company is doing, not how it is really doing.

For that reason, the more memes each company rides, the more valuable they are.

Besides, if they said any word against the diversity crap, they'd be accused of being racist white supremacist cis scum.

Macs were for creative types at the time too and had a better game environment

I don't think windows even had a photoshop port yet

>>57428987

the laptops don't really make money; the only support the image of the company

also, corporate users have never been a strength -- especially now with the i7 xeon machines that other business sellers like dell and lenovo offer

they're marketing to the "i feel like im a professional" market -- but that's been the trend for 5 years now

There's no PCH, so impossible.

Eh, not surprised. Many knew this was going to happen when Jobs died.

>>57428786
bloggers always used ultra-portable 13" for which it always was impossible to release a professional laptop. (no quad-core)
thus 13" mbp didn't regress much besides having only ports from the future.

It has recently come to my attention that blacks don't know how USB works.

There are so many complaints about the new macbook "not having USB".

Could Apple actually LOSE money because of people's stupidity? What a weird irony.

>>57434745
What a startling development.

>>57434878
I hope so, it's fucking dumb that they got rid of USB type A, Magsafe, and HDMI

They should have just replaced the two DisplayPort / Thunderbolts with USB - C

>>57434878
does any flash drive or computer accessory even use usb c yet?

I agree in that it is asthetically ugly. The gap from the vent to the top row is way out of proportion. The last gen and unibody were much better

No shit captain obvious.

Its been like this ever since they swapped to Intel to be frank.

I dont even like apple crap, only ever owned a ipod touch and its painfully obvious how bad almost all of their products have been lately

They will fade back into obscurity like they did in the 90s
