my mistake they do have 13" mbps new without touchbar but they top out at 2.5 for an astronomical sum (relatively speaking) or else a 2.8 15" for a similar amount

same with my iPhone 7, but to be fair to Apple it's already obsolete and 2 generations behind, I can't reasonably expect it to be supported

you can get the 13" MBP without Touch Bar, and it is honestly the best model because it uses a lower power processor (that is not much slower than the model with the touch bar), but also has a physically bigger battery so you get great battery life.

mbps don't have the cooling appropriate for their processors and graphics anyways so the lower power processor is probably pretty similar in performance since it doesn't have to throttle

pretty much this. you can't max out the cores for more than a few seconds without overheating.

if you actually need computing power why do you have a thin and light laptop?

my work had this conundrum and then it was pointed out that you should just prototype on a laptop then run models in Azure Cloud

well, there's a little bit of computing power, and there's a lot of computing power. what's the point of a 2.5 grand macbook for work if it performs worse than a windows laptop at the third of the cost? i dont need it to be able to do anything, but matching current generation medium-tier laptop hardware specs would be a nice feature for a "pro" laptop to have
