Okay, this post took to long to be written, but a week ago, Apple presented the new line of MacBook Pro’s and deprecated the old superduper-no-retina display model, something that I believe is a complete mistake from the user point of view.<\/p>\n
I use a Mac not because of its processing power, but because of the operating system, I want to use a Unix OS that have a consisten interface and that behaves great 99.9% of the time and I just don’t mean freezing, Linux have issues with apps that don’t behave well, but more importantly, the hardware+software combination. So, don’t get me wrong, I do love Linux and I believe there is a place for each operating system (Windows is doing great too, but I need a Unix OS) and Linux on the desktop… well, not this time.<\/p>\n
Back to the Macs. The reason of why I use a MacBook Pro is that I want the OS which is restrictive to Apple products, If I had the chance to run OS on a Dell XPS\/Lenovo Thinkpad computer I’ll have such computers, but meh. Raise your hand If you like me uses an Apple computer just by the OS.<\/p>\n
The hardware quality is Great, I have no complaint, My older apple computer lasted 5 years and I broke because of a high voltage peak, if not I would be writing this lines with that computer, but do I need to pay almost $20,000 MXN (Mexican Peso) for a computer?. The “new” MacBook Pro that I have (non-retina) was $15,000 MXN, and was kind of hard for me to get it, so, having a cheaper computer would be awesome, you need a functional computer, a machine that allows you to do work on the environment you love.<\/p>\n
Now, Apple released a couple of computers that completely break the “functional” part of\u00a0that computer, they are Super-Duper-Looking-Great computers with limited functionality. You can do your texts as you usually do, you can watch videos\/movies, listen to music, you can do programming, edit videos\/music and all that stuff, but you’ll have a hard time to get data to that computer other than wirelessly. The new MacBook Pro have 0 (zero) standard USB ports, it have 0 (zero) thunderbold ports, it have 0 (zero) HDMI ports, 0 Ethernet ports, there is no magsafe connector, there are only 4 USB Type-C ports. Each of them allows you to charge your computer, but you don’t need that!!.<\/p>\n
Then, how am I supposed to pass the file to my friend?,You either send it in some form or wireless\u00a0way (email, Instant Messenger, Dropbox\/iCloud, etc..) or you get an adapter to connect a USB drive to the USB Type-C connector (adapter that you need to buy).<\/p>\n
What if you want to connect you computer to your big screen so you can put your movie there and enjoy?. You need either a wireless way (Apple TV) or… an adapter!<\/p>\n
What if you need to connect your MIDI device?, adapter, SD Card? Adapter, CD\/DVD\/BR Drive? Adapter, anything that is usually connected via USB or any other port will need an adapter! WTF!!<\/strong>\u00a0why would you want to have such limited computer ??<\/p>\n
