    I am absolutely speechless. Apple made those things to die.

    Well lets face it in 2016 the Macbook Pro with touchbar was a stretch, but a welcoming stretch. hands down the 2010 Macbook Pro with Retina Display was a great machine and will go down as one of their greatest machines ever created or at least that series. 2018 was a catchup year for them and unfortunately it has not gone well. I will be waiting for the redesign.

    Touch bar is just a passive aggressive way to get the lemm.....I mean users to state we don’t need a touch screen, this silly dumb bar is better.

    Just WOW!

    After being sick of formatting on a regular basis due to how crappy Windows 10 is, and even posting my laptop for sale and wanting to switch to Mac and never have to format again, I was really bummed after knowing about the thermal throttling and that video just makes the Mac Book Pro a big no no with the VRM issues and non upgradeable SSD since it's soldered on the motherboard. I'd rather live with the Windows 10 mess than with the Apple JokeBook mess

    Macintosh hardware is the weak link right now, and has been for years...

    No thanks. macOS is like using ms-dos. It’s crap.

    Wow, have you ever used MacOS command line? Have you ever used UNIX command line? Neither are MS-DOS, except words on a line CLI motif is in common.

    And, if you can't type, there is the MacOS GUI. Similar to the Windows GUI.

    Most people only use the GUI on both MacOS and Windows, so no worries if you don't like CLI, but you are missing out on the programming power behind UNIX, that's where the fun is.

    You do know Windows powershell and cmd CLI are used for similar programming and management tasks on Windows too?

    Nope. I will pass. I have used my sons MacBook Air recently and it’s like using a computer form the 80s compared to my windows 10 based computer. I use my computer, I don’t mess around with programming etc. Not my cup of tea.
