So would buy you buy it Sup Forums if the refreshed Macbook Pro has 32 gb of 2133 mhz ram, and Kaby Lake?
Macbook Pro 2017

If they also sorted out the screen issues and thunderbolt 3 bus issues, sure.
Aaron Sullivan
No, since it will cost about 5000 dollars for that.
No one actually thinks Macs are shit, they are just shit value.
That being said, the 2016 version of the Pro is horrible even for Apple standards.
For me personally, they need to fix
>lack of port variety (I need atleast microHDMI or SD card reader and more thunderbolts)
>fix the keyboard(silence and good feel)
>reasonable GPU (460 ? come on)
>fix issues with internet and usb ports
>stop sacrificing stuff for an even thinner build (you are already at a limit at which the normal customer can't tell the difference anymore, even if he tried)
What they should retain:
>retina display
>touchbar(Sup Forums be hatin', but it is useful and aesthetic)
>thunderbolt
>touchpad
>case design
OS is kind of a love it or hate it situation, so i won't get up in arms about that.

>No one actually thinks Macs are shit, they are just shit value.
Except for all the shitty things you then went on to enumerate. What they really need to "fix" is to untie their OS from their hardware.
>this kills the company
Maybe. But my problem with Apple has never been bad design or even a bad OS (though it's not my cup of tea). It's the lack of choice they impose.
>lack of choice is good for the average dumb consumer
So I do indeed recommend Macs to idiots with more money than sense. But for that exact reason I can't respect anyone that works in tech or calls themselves a tech/nerd/geek/etc and yet owns a Mac and/or iPhone.
Plus the hypocrisy of their corporate branding. They're "all about individuality." Fuck them. At least M$ is honest if hamfisted about locking you into an ecosystem.
BTW - As a side note to all my Apple-hating brethren: As much as it hurts, recommend Apple products to every single annoying aunt, cousin, co-worker, or parent that constantly bugs you for computer advice and fixes. After they buy one then you simply say
>oh, sorry.. I don't know anything about [Apple product]
>just take it to the "genius" bar
I've done this for the last couple of years, and it's lowered my social stress level a huge amount by not having to do unpaid tech support for morons.

Maybe, they would also have to fix the keyboard.

100% honesty here: nope
macs have a dying market share which is lethal to the work I do that includes CAD/3D modelling software. Sorry but in real life macs aren't very useful for those who have real jobs.
Andrew Murphy
That's what I'm waiting for
Well don't need the 32 gigs of ram (16 should be plenty for most laptop users)
I just want kabby lake to get rid of the TB3 issues

Makes me wonder what goes through their heads when they see a real workstation like a P40 thats doing 4x the work silently while they break out their 5lb cintiq and stress about the 3k they threw away.
Julian Edwards
And do what with it?browse the facebook and Sup Forums?
Easton Johnson
Nothing. After all they bought it with daddy's credit card.
Jeremiah Wright
If it also came with a real touchscreen, better keyboard, battery life, much better I/O, at least one replaceable part, the highest spec Kaby Lake laptop CPU and proper cooling all at the exact same $1000 pricetag, then I would buy it in a heartbeat
Too bad the entire rest of the laptop market beat them to it
Charles Carter
I don't want the stupid touchbar. I don't want to constantly look down at my keyboard. I rarley look at my keyboard.
Liam Morales
NO USEFUL PORTS
I just don't see how people are alright with this. If I'm buying a premium-priced laptop and I can't even plug in my mouse, monitor and external HDD without dongles then that's a fucking shitty ass product, period. Completely unacceptable yet people are so candid about this.
Ian Robinson
why would anyone need 32gb of ram in 2017?
Jason Kelly
>keyboard louder than WWII cricket
lol
Easton Murphy
no someone fucked up and it has shit battery life. i bought a top of the line one in 2014 and it still runs fine for what i need so i won't be upgrading anytime soon considering they are $3000-$3600 USD in my country.
Mason Hughes
A $300 ACER laptop has 2133 MHz RAM and Skylake right now. Also Kabylake should be optimized for 2400mhz not 2133.
