#5Still hoping for a 13/14 inch intel macbook refresh with the revamped keyboard before too long.
Or I was, now that I work from home all the time my need for a laptop is much reduced.

#6Until they offer pro-level repair service they shouldn't be considered a "pro" machine.

#7Still to be confirmed, I don't usually take "analyst predictions" too seriously but I found this interesting:
"Apple will no longer be held to the whims of Intel"
