What field of work are you in? Genuinely curious.

We are a medical transport and interpretation company, but even off the clock I do the same in situations where I have to use my computer. I blame my iPhone and iPad, I know I can do things after on the keyboard but it's just so much more convenient to use touch.

Are there USB-c to regular USB hubs out there? That would make a difference I guess. I just have so many USB devices that it seems like another dongle I'll have to get.

The idea for ~the future~ is that you do monitor -> laptop with one USB-C cable (or monitor -> hub -> laptop with two) and that does both data (to monitor) and power (to laptop), and then connect other stuff to the monitor or hub and it acts as a passthrough. It's annoying that there's not much hardware for it yet, but it does mean one less cable for every device once it catches on more.

I was hoping for at least a base 512gb. Hope the max is 2tb so I can grab one later down the line used.

They could've at least baked Apple Pencil support into that new huge trackpad. I'm also surprised they didn't take a jab at themselves and say "look, at least our laptops still have a headphone port!"

Think of it this way, you're paying for the R&D that brought you simulated function keys.

My only complaint with the base new 15 is the pitiful storage space. Otherwise it's the same price as the previous Radeon equipped version.

If you go to apple.com right now and pull up Macs...you can still see what once was.

Maybe this is just Apple's way of getting rid of all the old stock by introducing a design that looks like they spent a month of Sundays working on.

When Tim Cook bragged they had 800 people working on the iPhone camera, he forgot to mention they stole all the Mac engineers.
