This is the 16-inch MacBook Pro and when I bought it last year I thought this would be it. Finally my dream machine. It's actually the first product that started a very interesting trend. See Apple has always been known showing consumers what they should want instead of listening to them, and its 15-inch predecessor was, in a word: a mess. From bad keyboards, to display issues, to thermal throttling, it was clear that Apple's obsession over thin and light was ahead of its time. The solution was to just cave in and make the product larger. To own the title of being a Pro product, function had to follow form, and not the other way around. The problem is that this product was either late, or the catalyst Apple needed to prove that it was time to transition. It patched the problem the 15-inch model had, but then notice how it hasn't been refreshed since 2019. Transition periods are always complicated, and no company is more notorious for them than Apple. This is the company that pushed the market to adopt the CD-ROM over floppy drives, only to kill the slot early for digital media. USB over Serial Ports, only to kill that for USB-C. It made the headphone jack popular again, only to kill it later over Bluetooth. Yes it's a pattern, but even if Apple has been right most of the time, what happens when you're caught in-between? Here I was thinking this computer would be it, so I spent an insane amount of money in maxing it out to its full potential. Yes, that amount.. And then about two months into living my dream, I realized I made a mistake. A very expensive one.
