Re: Actions speak louder than words.
I am still using an Early 2013 MacBook Pro (i7, 16Gb RAM and 512Gb SSD). In benchmark tests I can see that there is a speed gain to be had by upgrading to the 2017 model, but it is relatively minor ... such as 20s boot time compared with 13s in the MBP 2017. Certainly it is not worth the £2,669.00 that Apple want for this ... even with the £150 trade-in for my existing MBP.
My point being that the 'improvements' that Apple are making to their range are so negligible as to make a new product pretty much irrelevant. Unless someone can come up with a 1,000 core processor or a new amazing 20 hour battery (why can't make the battery life on the MBP longer?) then I don't see the point of investing in new Apple kit. I also suspect that Apple's R&D is so, almost exclusively, focussed on the iPhone, that this is to the detriment of all other products.
Sorry Mr Cook.
