    I don’t want thinner. I want more functionality. Don’t expect me to pay 2 grand for a laptop with no external USB or HDMI ports, for which privileges I can pay an additional $100 or so. I’m frustrated enough by the lack of Ethernet jacks on my Lenovo. The last time I had a Mac (work shipped me one), I was even more frustrated by how bad the built in trackpad and keyboard were and the fact that using an external device to replace them came at a premium price.

      HDMI is a trash standard and we should move everyone to Displayport at a minimum, or Thunderbolt. But also, all the MacBook Pros have HDMI.

      Weird. I think Apple’s trackpad is head and shoulders better than anyone else’s.
