Intel is a lot of what's wrong with the new MacBook Pro

I knew something like this had to be going down for Apple to punt on new Apple monitors.

These, of course, were "Skylake" Intel chips in the "new" MBPro, laden with limitations, so this is not the real MacBook Pro.

Mac Pros and Mac Minis will also need to wait for Apple designed chips: iMacs should also improve with new processors, hopefully first half of next year at the earliest.

Apple is being criticized like it hasn't been in a very long time for this computer design.

Intel's chip design, not Apple's choices, reason behind Thunderbolt 3 & RAM issues in new MacBook Pro






Poor decisions are being made at Apple: Steve would have gone ballistic and "Steved" this computer, throwing it back to everybody responsible.

It would have never seen a launch.

Kuo: Demand for new MacBook Pro models tepid due to high prices, disappointing specs







16 GB RAM capacity is also an Intel problem, along with nearly everything else that is wrong with the computer.

New MacBooks said to launch in 2017 with price cuts and up to 32GB of RAM






I still think there will be new MacBook Pros, Mac Pros, Mac minis, and new monitors when they have a new chip
