Many features (most shared between the two models) are huge improvements in the Pro lineup-like the SSD speed, size and weight, keyboard feel, and Thunderbolt 3/USB-C. And I've never returned a Mac, until today. 'I use a Mac as my daily driver, and have rarely made a tech-related purchase I regretted. These are important people that support and evangelize the Mac AND IOS platforms and ecosystems, and Apple has done a poor job of supporting their needs for a good three years now.' - Chuq Von Rospach, The Mac Pro, and its possible successor are serving niches within the niche that is the Mac market overall, but it’s an important niche: it’s the power users, the influencers and the developers who build all of the Mac and IOS apps we all depend on.

As does the idea of charging high prices because they can' - Chris Adamson. When they make the devices thinner just for aesthetics, at a genuine cost to their performance or utility, the old “form over function” slam rings a little more true than it used to. I’m starting to think they’re more a fashion and luxury goods company instead. 'I’m honestly not sure Apple is even a consumer electronics company anymore. It’s like being in an alternate timeline where the Newton was a smash success, so the Sculley/Spindler era went on indefinitely.' The difference is that today’s Apple isn’t dependent on computers, and indeed barely cares about them thanks to the timespace-warping enormity of the iPhone. In the Mac line, at least, 2017 Apple seems a lot like 1994 Apple: misguided products, propped up by gouging the loyalists. Until the middle of last year, they had a dedicated page for professional users and case studies.' - Nick Heer, PIXELENVY 'Speaking of the Mac Pro, I was reminded today about a time when Apple was proud of the professional Macs they shipped.
