@Karen the Star - you're misunderstanding the meaning of the word "PRO" - it means hideously overpriced .... hideously overpriced products targeted at non-pros (e.g. people who can't touch-type and...

@artnaz - the old version simply _is_ massively better (if you could just put modern hardware inside it) - that is literally the general consensus amongst everyone I know. It is exactly like he...

@artnaz - and everyone I know (IT professionals) either complains about them (including myself), or has simply avoided the newer Macbooks' keyboards altogether (e.g. sticking with the older...

While it might seem superficially analogous, this is very very different. I was actually looking...

You're supposed to either realise you need more, and overpay many times over for Apple-priced upgrades .... or not realise, and be stuck with an unusable computer (Apple OS + iTunes etc will eat...

"Now, if you want something for free, that's your problem"

No, just a way to not have to overpay 2x-3x for the upgrade would be nice.

I agree 100% re. the touchbar, but one hint - you can re-map the caps-lock key to escape.

I 100% agree with everything you say there. Though it looks like the 16" is not expected to have the new keyboards, unfortunately. I'm guessing that unless you figure-out how to reincarnate Jobs,...

Real F-keys (and volume control etc) are 10x better than virtual touch-bar F-keys for anyone touch-typing, e.g. programmers. Not the most cumbersome aspect of these Macbook Pros, but just...

You do realise you're in the minority in having that opinion right? I've owned a touchbar model for years and still hate it, like virtually everyone I know who has it, just like the keyboard and...

If you "don't need IBIS" because you "only shoot in good light" etc ... then you also likely don't need a camera half or even a quarter this fancy/expensive/big.

So the brand new Canon M50 (without kit lens) is right now $131 more than the four year old Sony A6000, and $169 less than the Sony A6300 ... seems like it could be just as well compared with...
