You guys are really weird as designers. The beauty of the design and engineering on that new Macbook is breathtaking, yet, everybody complains. (I'm not talking specs or anything, just design)
- Designers appreciate aesthetics in tools that work for them, not ones that come out stunted.detritus
- I mean, what point aesthetics, when the thing's perceived as being compromised for purpose?detritus
- it's not targeted for us, it's targeted for casual users. Don't see it compromised in that segment.ESKEMA

the grey one is cool.benfal99 - the specs on another hand... i'll pass.benfal99
- the specs are perfect for let's say my GF. She only surfs and write, etc..ESKEMA

Apple's a public company. Just look at the debacle that Icahn caused - shareholder activism is a powerful motivator. Stock prices will always drive the show.
What I personally don't understand is their unwillingness to take much risk. Jobs had plenty of failures, Apple did a whole, but it seems (and I could be wrong) they've just decided to go to sleep at the wheel and hoard their cash.
Buying Beats would just seem odd if they were acquiring other companies. They could have bought Harmon and Pandora, then hired Iovine and had the best of everything. Everyone would have applauded that, even if it cost $20b - pennies to them and consistent with their "best" approach. Then they could take the "best quality" and make it "Apple". Now they'll have a hard time convincing people that Apple isn't less quality via Beats influence.
But if all they care about is cash, then buying a low margin, super trendy company like Beats makes sense...for a year or two. Then maybe they will sell it, make even more money after they add a "quality" product to the line. Who knows, obviously smarter people there than on here, but it just seems so bizarre, like someone was at a Hollywood party, drunk and high, and said "yeah, I wanna be cool and hang with you guys!"
- I believe you could be wrong. Anyone who thinks Apple isn't doing anything is cray craymonospaced
- you're not crazy, but it's crazy to assume they aren't neck deep in R&D. Otherwise Tim would be lyingmonospaced
- When a company under this much scrutiny promises new products, they probably plan to actually work on themmonospaced
- Of course they are. It just seems so odd to be so secretive, have such meticulous attention to detail and quality, true perfectionism - which I loveformed
- perfectionism - which I love and applaud - and then buy a company I wouldn't be caught dead near, let alone owningformed
- put another way, if they bought Harmon and Pandora I'd buy their stock now, Beats I need to see an amazing plan that no one else seesformed
- no one else seesformed
- you seem like a smart guy, I'm seriously surprised you don't see the plan with Beats (hint, it's not headphones)monospaced
- it's black people?Milan
- mono - I've posted several times what Wall St assumes it'll be, but they, and me, don't see the logicformed
- hence the Harmon (cars systems would integrate w iCar or whatever it is called, that is not succeeding) and streaming, but a second level product in Beatsformed
- a second level product. "Hiring" Iovine seems like an awfully expensive signing bonus!formed
- You make it clearer in every comment your ignorance of he deal.monospaced
- its all about the streaming lol!!!!fadein11

LOL at the outrage over the keyboard button positioning. Apple just showed a closeup and the esc and power buttons are in their current positions. I'M BUYING STOCK!

Impressive internals but still near 4 year old design with that ugly notch and thick bezels compared to the more fresh looking galaxy S10
