I’m sure there were a handful of people that Apple’s newest laptops didn’t piss off after last year’s long-awaited unveiling. I wasn’t one of them. For a device that calls itself ‘Pro,’ the decision to strip away ports, use sixth — not seventh — generation Intel chips, and limit RAM to 16 gigabytes certainly weren’t doing any favors to the creative types the company once appealed to.
Apple, as Apple does, defended each decision proving unequivocally that it knows best. Battery life was the priority, and a one-size-fits-all approach was, and still might be, the path forward.
