On: Apple introduces 8-core MacBook Pro

Ha! I literally typed out another comment about how I to refuse to leave my 2015 macbook pro for a newer model. The new keyboard, touchbar and usb-c everywhere is so lame

> usb-c everywhere is so lame

Do you mean "not having anything other than USB C is lame", or "I dislike USB C and wished Apple had gone with something else"?

Personally I’m still bitter about the death of MagSafe, which was the greatest thing ever.

Now that I have children of laptop-using age, I'm almost at the point where literally every single day I'm thinking about how useful MagSafe is. It was such a good invention for notebooks.

I really don't care about the "charge from either side" benefit of USB Type C. I do appreciate the fact that you can use aftermarket cables though - especially considering how poorly constructed Apple's are.

Just ordered a 2015 MBP from the Apple Store, they're still out there!

if you need to 'upgrade' there's a sintech adapter that will let you put a MUCH bigger and faster ssd in there.
