As a developer, I am not unhappy about the new MBP. I have a feeling that they are abandoning me. I can understand that they are focusing on making profit, but at least they should keep me/us informed of the mac future.

I want a desktop machine with modern GPU, at least 32gig ram. That I can upgrade if needed.

My hackintosh runs fine, but it is, well, a "hack"intosh.

And Apple should remember that their platform is very little with no third party developer.

Ive ordered parts for a beefy Hackintosh, for 3 reasons.

The 17" MBP that had to have the logic board baked to reflow solder - took Apple 4 years to acknowledge that one.

My 15" 2013 MBPr whose battery swelled up to the point of breaking the touch pad.

New MBP announcement.

Looking forward to user upgrade-able gear for once.
