I recently purchased an over priced over powered MSI gaming laptop, not my best life decision.. but not my worst either....... it out performs all the brand new macbooks all the hipsters around me purchased. They all paid about 25% more.

Indeed. If you want a shabby slapdash spyware filled OS which is the bastard offspring of CP/M and VMS then Windows is fine I'm sure, but if you want a proper UNIX machine then a Mac is still the best choice. More to the point, despite what this article says, Macs are still the best laptops if only because they're a fully supported UNIX and they don't lie about the battery life so when they say they'll get 10 hours, they'll get 10 hours whereas DELL claims 9 hours and actually delivers 5. http://www.which.co.uk/news/2017/03/which-laptop-battery-tests-manufacturers-overstate/

This gen did NOT entice me at all. The Pro no longer seems pro and if it goes up $4k for a base line model .... Fuck them.
$2500 was always a stretch but at least you knew you were getting something nice.
If only Adobe would go Linux ...
