#2A maxxed out MBP costs €5000, which is $5447.95. And you can't connect your iphone, your iphone headset, hdmi, magsafe, sd-card or usb. And you don't get tactile escape keys or function keys. Or Nvidia. Or even an OpenGL implementation from this decade! This show is over :(

#3Can anybody recommend a good laptop to replace my current macbook -
I would like 17inch screen, and runs Ubuntu ... bonus for NVidia GPU - I deep learn in the cloud but having a GPU to test on would be great.
Anybody know of this mythical unicorn?
Re: Apple, this time you made a mistake
#4I LOVE Apple products! I treasure Iphone and it's safe and fun ecosysten. I love the simplicity of OSX. I love the professional appearance of a Macbook Pro... as a user. Or as an observer even.
Because professionally, I've been on Windows, Linux and Android for years. And with Windows where it's at now, I've never been more productive.
Just can't seem to get that across to my Apple-friends and Apple-coworkers.

I don't know if you are being sarcastic because you exactly described the specs of this https://system76.com/laptops/kudu in either case I fell for it
Re: Apple, this time you made a mistake
#6I'm pretty ambivalent about everything but the usb ports. I get they its an overloaded standard and probably needs a replacement, but its a lot to give up in the name of progress...
Re: Apple, this time you made a mistake
#7While I appreciate USB-C, it's still too early to go USB-C only, especially on a "professional" laptop. And, the transition to lightning headphones is a glaring example of the left hand SOMEHOW not being aware of what the right hand is doing.
Plus, the touch bar sucks. Compensating with indentations and force touch could have made it an amazing and useful tool.

Ah I should have mentioned > 1080p (but thanks for suggestion)

#9> function keys, MagSafe, HDMI, SD Card AND the Escape key
I'm an HDMI guy too, SD cards are great, and MagSafe has saved my bacon more than once. But the function keys are being transformed into something a bit more interactive and app-specific, and if you need Escape in a terminal emulator, Ctrl-] has been around just about forever.
I think Apple's doing something new and interesting with function keys.
(But I agree, I'm not sure I agree with their all-in strategy on Thunderbolt/USB-C either.)
Re: Apple, this time you made a mistake
#10I agree. I have no plans on upgrading my MacBook Pro (2015). I'm very forgetful, so I know that I'd lose any adapter dongles due to the USB-C/Thunderbolt ports replacing everything else.
Well, it makes it easy to save a few thousand dollars this year.
