IMO they need to change the locks.
I’ve gotten very disappointed in the products Apple has turned out recently.
In particular the MacBook.
First they dumped the DVD player. So if you wanted to run a instruction CD you need a separate external device. Kinda defeats the purpose of a laptop.
Now the new MacBooks have one input socket. Everything has to connect thru that one port. Gotta have several adapters and external devices.
They removed the SD card slot.!
What is the thinking behind that idiotic move??
All to make the laptop thin and beautiful.
And they removed the Magsafe electrical connection! One of Macs selling points.

IMO they are no longer practical. And I love the several year old MacBook I have. Bought it used so it would have all the features to new ones don’t.
Love OSX, love Macs troublefree operation.

Tim Cook needs to be fired IMO.

My Mac Pro is heading towards being out of my three-year Apple Care warranty period, and I’d like to get another, but no way in Hell am I paying for three-year old technology!

They haven’t even bumped up the chip specs, let alone upgraded anything else.

It really alarms me, that they may be getting rid of their Pro desktops! I may find myself moving to Win7 and an HP or Lenovo workstations.

And I’ve been a Mac user for almost thirty years!
