    Apple is no longer a company that cares about professionals. Period. No fucking MBP update, the Mac Pro's are a fucking abortion, it's all less than an after thought.

    Hey Apple, you know what 99% of your "pro" market wants? Up to date laptops, and a tower that we can upgrade. Not a bitch made iMac, not a Mac mini, a damn tower like the old mac pro's. The ability to swap out graphics cards, add extra USB cards, and add ram isn't a new asking for a lot. It's asking for the bare minimum.

    But, just keeping doing you.

    • Yes. Slam that mini tower between the iMac and the Mac Pro, and call it a fucking Mac, which they somehow killed years ago. Back to what made them great.monospaced
    • They went mainstream, but they HAVE to realize that creatives are their OSX bread and butter, right?monospaced
    • If it weren't for us, they would have died in the '90s.monospaced
    • I wonder what % of their recent profits are attached solely to their desktops. They have to realise their market will disappear if they don't push forward.face_melter
    • I mean, I'll likely never go back to using a Mac for my work but I would hate to see them vanish altogether.face_melter
    • I thought the same thing. How many sales are directly related to MacBook Pros?capn_ron
    • isn't october reserved for updates on the macbooks, ipads, etc.? just wait a month.dorf
    • not many, their money is in the iphone, the other things just feed the "ecosystem"formed
    • Ha i found out the "pro" was all marketing when i used my first G4. Such shit hardware. A little boost when they went intel but usually 2 years behind.deathboy
    • and UI is probably personal tastes but I hated OSX. so sloppy for function. ugly too with. reminded me of casino promotions. do they even have cmd+X yet?deathboy
    • OS X and usability is all matter of taste. It's powerful if you want it to be and use it their way. For me I can't even use Windows it's so clumsy.monospaced
    • That part goes both ways. OS X is still great and if there ever was a fall in the phone market the Mac should be there to keep them steady.monospaced
    • what i hate is the non-pro market is larger group, and apple is showing windows they can be profitable with less tools and options and forcing one way.deathboy
    • in fact most people prefer less options and just prefer to be told how to do things one way. i see some of that in win10deathboy
    • more profit in dumbing down and conformity, especially if u create a base who is incapable of of realizing betterdeathboy
    • Where the hell is my ctrl+X?!?! The most basic thing!!!! Uuuugghhhhpango
    • You mean cut? That was in Mac OS before Windows existed. It's Apple-X or now, command-Xmonospaced
    • yea. it never existed as far as i could tell. I gave up around leopard. had to still have the "pro" macbook with win running on shitty bootcamp. such POSdeathboy
    • osx is tinker toy, i actually recommended a mac for my parents for that reasondeathboy
    • jeez and the file management with all the hidden shit to make things seem quicker can add up. I think i saw a 50GB discrepancy on backing files up on a 1tbdeathboy
    • in leopard adobe still didnt develop snapping windows. such poor UI to have floating docks and seeing desktop. focusdeathboy
    • i could probably go on but my views is outdated from last usage, which is a mistake mac users make when comparing today standards to win95deathboy
    • nope cut (command-x) still doesn't work for moving files etc. ridiculous.fadein11
    • but i guess all perspective. my mom loves her ipad. pc is too much to be concerned with. dumb it down and sell it as prodeathboy
    • its brilliant brand marketing to sell "pro" lies to the incompetent. Makes them feel good about overpriced purchases and necessity to defend them.deathboy
    • Ya I meant cmd+X. I use pc and Mac on daily bases. There are things on both that bugs me. But missing cmd X is unforgivable! >:(pango
