    New MacBook: M1 RISC 8GB RAM 250 SSD 1440x900 resolution Touchbar that prevents touch typing? No touch screen $2200+

    Decline in demand is sooooo mysterious.

      Weird take.

      Even the lowest end MacBook Air is 2560x1600. The touch bar got dropped years ago when they transitioned away from Intel. Pricing for the specs you listed starts at $999.

      There plenty to criticise. No need to make shit up.

        Weird take indeed, but I personally don’t understand why macs don’t have touch screens yet. I’m using laptops with touchscreens for over 8 years now and can’t imagine using one without it.

      1400x900 what? I though they all have those Retina displays something?

      But in general yeah. A time to throw away stones and a time to gather stones.

      First they’ve been building reputation and product image, then those became so strong that their actions, useful or harmful, had no apparent effect, and then it turns out they no longer know how to build reputation, product image and the product itself.

      It’s funny how many things can be explained just in control theory terms, with feedback loops, response times, sensitivity etc.

        1440x900 is the native resolution of a brand new MacBook. I don’t follow gibberish terms used in Macintosh hardware. Retina is eye tissue.
