Complete with keyboard and actual, literal, 'physical' escape key: Apple emits new 16" $2.4k+ MacBook Pro

Re: Selective deafness

13" comes with 8GB, 16" comes with 16GB standard RAM.

If it had a replaceable battery, you'd still need to lug that around, wouldn't you?

While user-upgradable RAM and SSD would be nice, the reality is that most users never do that and rather enjoy sleek and portable devices.

It's a bit like insisting that every car come with feature X, because you need that feature.

Even though most people wouldn't care.

Why should everybody else pay for your special requirements?

Same as USB-C vs. the rest. Apple has decided that the future is USB-C and Bluetooth - and it seems that consumers are currently voting with their feet to support that decision (witness the rising number of non-apple BT headphones and in-ear headphones on the market).

Yes, you need batteries etc. but with the exception of the headphones, I'm with Apple on this one.

For a portable device, less is more.
