The only thing that's fail is the insane amount of technical debt that has accumulated in the software stack that nobody is willing to eliminate bc everyone only wants to work on new stuff and they're not willing to pay competitive rates to retain disciplined programmers. This is why core apps like Messages.app keep accumulating more instabilities and UI bugs with every update. Industrial design game on point doe

yea thats part of the problem. the android experience (tm) is so variant between handsets cause theres no baseline assumption you can make about hardware. i guess you got lucky. at least the apple experience is consistent, lol

it really pisses me off that there's now

  1. Lightning
  2. Thunderbolt
  3. Magsafe
  4. USB C
  5. Apple Watch Magnetic charger
  6. FireWire RIP

any one of these is a candidate for a universal apple do-everthing cable.

they could put the lightning charger in the new Macbook and i could charge the Macbook with my iPhone charger.

they could build data into MagSafe and i could interchanged chargers between Macbook products

they could let you magnetically attach the  Watch charger to the Apple logo not he back of the macbook and charge that way.

they could charge through the loving headphone port drat it

what was the loving point of making lightning like 4 years ago, and then the whole thunderbolt push, then the magsafe update.

usb-c, at least, should eventually be a common connector you'll find on everything like micro-usb is now. it'll be a few years, though

it's slower but apparently the architectural improvements make it less noticeable unless you're attempting to use it for something other than viewing your desktop, or facebook

i had one before the rmbp 15 and I agree, form factor is perfect. when they go retina, and assuming it isn't so graphically stressed it can't handle lightweight gaming (like blizzard's stuff) at a reasonable resolution then i'll revise my rmbp supremacy opinion

it's just that retina is amazing and makes it really, really difficult to go back to standard resolutions so until the day of the retina air its a pos

the Air's won't get retina and they'll just linger along for a few more years like the white macbook did

and the new MB will go down to $999 around the time they kill the Air

I was going to make a crack about it still being faster than my four year old desktop cpu but apparently it isn't.

of course the desktop dissipates 95W compared to 4.5 but that's just lol AMD.
