I want a mobile workstation, not this weird obsession with making it thinner, lighter, etc. It's cool that it's thin and light, but function needs to come over form. The keyboard is trash (literally causes me knuckle pain compared to the old chiclet keyboards), the loss of magsafe has caused some pretty severe damage to my last macbook (somebody wasn't looking where they were going in a coffee shop and tripped over the cable -- took the entire laptop with it, dented the case where it hit the ground, and screwed up the USB C port), and the touchbar gets _hot_.

Give me a 2016 Macbook Pro with a retina display with an upgraded proc + ram + user servicable parts. Or even better, open up macOS to other hardware so that I can choose the system that works the best for me.

I don't need an appliance, but damn, I miss macOS.
