^. Apple please listen to your customers. Beauty and thinness above functionality ain't worth it.

Apple, please don't. Keep the touchbar and if it affects design(shouldn't but ok) 16Gb is enough.

Devs running docker with 69 machines are not Apple's customers. Can we just finally understand and move on?

[nicoburns → odshoifsdhfs]

Devs are the people who make apps for Apple's customers. They'd be foolish to neglect them, even if they make up a small proportion of sales.

They need two lines of laptops for sure. Dev and Creative ones. Devs don’t care about colour gamut, gpu, touchbar, etc...

[nicoburns → dzhiurgis]

Are many creatives using laptops? Most creative people I use are using desktops with big screens or iPad pros with an Apple pencil.

[dylan604 → nicoburns]

As powerful as laptops are now, yes, lots of of creatives use laptops. There's entire industry (well, were before covid) of doing fast turn time on-site on video/photo editing. Lugging desktops around in giant cases paying surcharges for heavy and extra bag charges on airlines is incredibly expensive.
