Return of the Mac (2005)
I think the negative reaction to the new MacBook Pro seems excessive. The only real objections I have are the increase in price and the new keyboard though I&#x27;m open minded that I&#x27;ll get used to that.<p>Apple like to make slim, light products. And that&#x27;s a good thing! There&#x27;s always a compromise between size&#x2F;weight&#x2F;power usage and performance, and I don&#x27;t think the choices they&#x27;re making are bad ones. I&#x27;m sure if they could have put 32Gb in there without sacrificing some other aspect of the design they would have done so.<p>The negative reaction to touch bar seems to be mostly from people who haven&#x27;t used it, the press reaction was positive. I use vim but the escape key is horrible to reach on a Macbook Pro anyway so I rebound it a long time ago. I&#x27;ve read bizarre complaints that developers &#x27;need function keys for single step debugging&#x27; as though that&#x27;s not going to be possible with touch bar.<p>But then I never really got the &#x27;Apple software quality&#x27; meme either so maybe I&#x27;m not representative.
