Affordability is "absolutely something we care about," Schiller says. "But we don't design for price, we design for the experience and the quality people expect from Mac. Sometimes that means we end up at the higher end of the range, but not on purpose, just because that's what it costs."
Did they just really admit openly "We dont design it for usefulness or power, we design for it how it look to others while you try to use it."
Who in his/her right mind would call themself a professional when you work on a 15" screen anyway. It's just way too small for the target audience who, for some bizarre reason, prefer Apple products for photo and video editing.
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.
The people that say they use Apple for photo and video editing are usually the ones that boast a lot anyway. The amount of products for proper image and footage editing is clearly for Windows computers, not for a closed off range like Apple.
The choice between a 4.5k Apple machine and the same equivalent you could get a Windows computer for, should be obvious, then again, for a good amount of people in this world, it isn't.

You read too much into it. They did not say that.
Perhaps, it might be my connotative bias paraphrasing it my head
I read it the same way Bose (Speakers) or Cadillac (Cars) would say it, as I lump them in with apple on the "form over function" ideal.

This'll be the first time I don't bother upgrading a work machine, even though the current one pains me to use.
The funniest word in that entire quote is the word "sometimes".
Except maybe for its screen, its the single worst MBP release ever.

It's even funnier when you note that they just said they kept the 3.5mm jack on the macbook pro instead of scrapping it altogether because of "professional users".

Is it inconsistent to keep the 3.5mm headphone jack as it’s no longer on the latest iPhone?
Not at all. These are pro machines. If it was just about headphones then it doesn’t need to be there, we believe that wireless is a great solution for headphones. But many users have setups with studio monitors, amps, and other pro audio gear that do not have wireless solutions and need the 3.5mm jack.
So here you are professional users, you can keep using your headphones as long as you don't want to do any real professional work.
New MacBook Pro Has Already Outsold All Competing Laptops This Year
Quote:
Apple's latest MacBook Pro has already outsold all competing laptops this year, according to new data shared by research firm Slice Intelligence.
Slice Intelligence says the new MacBook Pro accumulated more revenue from online orders during its first five days of availability than the Microsoft Surface Book, ASUS Chromebook Flip, Dell Inspiron 2-in-1, and Lenovo Yoga 900, based on e-receipt data from 12,979 online shoppers in the United States.
The new MacBook Pro generated over seven times the revenue that the 12-inch MacBook did over its first five days of availability, according to Slice Intelligence. If accurate, that means it took the new MacBook Pro just five days to accumulate 78% of all the revenue generated by the 12-inch MacBook since its April 2015 launch.

About the dongles. I fully expect USB-C to become the only peripheral standard some time in the future. But not now.
And if anything, a unified standard for connecting peripherals is a good thing.
So I thank all those people who have the courage to buy these machines and push the standard.
By the time it is the actual standard, Apple will probably eliminate it from their Books.

What a shill. He basically defends Apple by arguing about what makes hardware a professional device, the cunt. I did a quick Google for his name and the guy is a die-hard Mac fanboy - half his Twitter account is about how great Apple is.
So he is a shill because in his line of work, this laptop does what it is suppose to best. OK
I forgot you were the resident Apple fanboy. He's a shill because he's defending a terribly overpriced laptop with the idea "well it works for basic stuff and I'm a professional so it must be a Pro laptop to some people".

Except that it really doesn't. This:

First off, It’s really fast. I’ve been using the MacBook Pro with the new version of FCP X and cutting 5k ProRes material all week, it’s buttery smooth. No matter what you think the specs say, the fact is the software and hardware are so well integrated it tears strips off “superior spec’d” Windows counterparts in the real world. This has always been true of Macs.
Is horseshit. Because of Apple's fucked up restrictions, neither CUDA nor OpenCL performs as well on OS X as it does on Windows and even Linux (oh yes I did go there).
If you're used to FCP and want to use that, sure, nothing wrong with a Mac. But to outright state it's "best in class" and that it "outperforms" similarly spec'd Windows machines is just a plain lie. APP is faster on Windows than it is on a Mac, because software support has gotten that much better. The reason to go for a Mac is the look and feel of things, not performance. I'd say that where 7 years ago the vast majority was Macs in the film industry, that has shifted towards Windows now. And the people I work with aren't small-time editors, I'm talking about people who did Harry Potter trailers and the likes.
