Not so long ago the best upgrade to your WinPC was to put an SSD in it. Huge difference.
Win8 killed momentum, stagnation ensued.
But, then GPU kicked it up a notch. The new 1080 is insane, but in itself that is not that cool.
The new killer upgrade is the display. After a whole decade of nothing suddenly there was a huge bump.
I just upgraded to an Ultra-Widescreen Acer Predator.
Mind. Blown.
Combine it with a 1080 (or the new 1080Ti) and your PC makes a whole generational leap forward.
And right at this moment in time, Apple stops making display and chooses shitty LG as the maker of choice.
And here I just sold my i5/gtx670 build in favor of a Macbook Pro, a Raspberry Pi, and a NAS. This one gen old MBPr is my favorite computer I've ever used(I now have two- one provided by my employer as well).
So Apple has made some controversial design decision with their newest line of laptops...I still will be purchasing one in two or three years...whenever this one becomes unusable.

Yes, Apple is losing the desktop, 100%.
