With the new MacBook Pro, Apple has angered power users. Why a Touch Bar instead of a touchscreen? Why only USB-C ports? Why only 16gb of RAM? Why no new Mac Pro desktop? And with its new Surface Studio, why does Microsoft now seem more innovative than Apple? We convene an extra-large panel to discuss these issues and more.
- Andy hates the new keyboard Alex hates the loss of MagSafe
- Rene explains why Apple could only legally put in 16gb of RAM
- Leo has a solution: Hackintosh
