Finally (almost) here, am wondering if touch bar is going to go the same way as the force click trackpad (i.e no one uses it and it becomes a gimmick), touch ID looks a winner though.

16gb max memory - my work requires more than that.

Same here. Try running BI, predictive analytics, Tableau, R and large Excel models in 16gb. I'd expect 64gb with a modern Intel cpu.

Not quite. The previous 15" macbook pro started from $1999 now its $2399.

Given what the top of the range Dell Precision 7510 I'm typing this on cost that's a bit too much.

But good try blaming Brexit when the problem is visible if you look at the $ price...

I've always hated Dell because of their proprietary drivers when I used to fix my brother's desktop. Is that still a problem?

My iPhone is 120,000,000 more powerful than the computer on board the Apollo craft than put man on the moon.

You're telling me you need a computer at least 12 times more powerful than my iphone to develop a webpage for topshop?

Ya all must have been off sick the day they taught karnaugh maps.

If there were quantum computers, I'd need at least 3 of them.
