You might want to hold off on buying a new i9 Macbook Pro.

Out of all of Apple's oddities, this takes the cake.. The i9 gets to hot so it automatically throttles down after a few minutes making it slower than older i7 models.

What is the point in even releasing something like that. I feel like AH is an ok forum for this so people can see it and take note.

This. They had their pros and cons, but over the last few years I really don't know what they're smoking. Perfect example: dropping their clever and very practical magnetic connection for power on their laptops in favour of USB 3 "thunderbolt" sockets(indeed the only connections on them). I suspect because "it looks good". Their aesthetic design was always part of their appeal, but it was backed up with good engineering design too. Put it this way; the laptop we use today regardless of the OS owes a huge debt to Apple's design and innovations down the years(obvious things like keyboard near the screen, palm rest below. Trackpads. to name but two). Now the aesthetic types seem to have taken over. QV Jonathon Ives.

EG: Powerbook G3 from twenty years ago.

Two decades old with USB, Firewire, DVD writer(remember those), RAM expandable to one Gb, Hard drive up to 120 Gb, wireless, ethernet, 8-10 hour battery life with two batteries on board, upgradable CPU. There wasn't another manufacturers laptop that could rival it.

When even many dyed in the wool Mac fans consider a four or five year old Macbook better than their latest models it speaks volumes. It's convenient to pin down the fall off with Steve Jobs' death, but it fits well with when the rot set in.

Meh, if you have the cash, Macbooks are good. Never had a Pro but had a regular 13" one nearly a decade ago and enjoyed it. Then Linux for two years, and now back to Windows where I'll stay.

A macbook from 10 years ago is a different beast, much better than the style over substance rubbish these days. I just pushed the button on a new pc laptop and I'm retiring my mac, I got an incredible spec for less than mac money and I can upgrade my own ram/ssd when I want to.

At €3,000 €4,000 (!) a pop, you can be pretty sure I'll be steering clear of Apple's 100% markup laptops for a long time to come OP.

Overpriced rubbish.

It's gas that you have to buy a separate adaptor to plug your apple iPhone into your apple macbook..

Sure I've been in meetings where we handed around a Macbook Air because we couldn't connect it to the projector without the right dongle. Those rare HDMI interfaces...

Have a 2013 Macbook Pro. The resale value for it is more than I paid in 2013! It was my first MacBook so I'm not huge into the history and ins and outs of the different models but it reads like my MBP was the last really good one made. They must have changed their tact when Jobs died.
I like my MacBook but don't think I'd pay the money for another one.

It will look good in Starbucks though whilst you're writing your novel.
