It’s weird. New MBP is too expensive for casual buyers and not functional enough for Pro buyers. I don’t get who it’s for.

I am one of those, and support them too. Price is a sticking point with Apple, RAM with intel. Solid tech otherwise.

@Pinboard@marcoarment I wonder whether this is the transposition of anxiety about the elections. The term “cultural divide” is a giveaway. -
Otherwise, I suggest you read https://chuqui.com/2016/10/how-apple-could-have-avoided-much-of-the-controversy/ … which seems spot-on.
