I have the ability to put myself in someone else's shoes and be happy on their behalf.

Someone out there is happy that the machine is faster, even if that person isn't me. But you don't see me screaming in the comments thread "how dare Apple put a faster processor in their Macbooks instead of shaving off another few MM of thickness!" because that's just ridiculous. To me, a few hundred Mhz or another few GB of RAM doesn't sound like a lot. Way too often people on here see something and think "that doesn't help my use case, therefore it's a stupid decision" and never stop to think "hey maybe someone has a use case I don't have, and maybe this helps them". But if they stuck with a 2013 CPU in a 2018 Macbook, people would go ape shit even though for people like me, the faster processor doesn't change a single thing about how the machine works. "At this point" does a marginally faster CPU make a big difference? Not to me, my "workhorse" laptop is a 2013. I would probably be concerned too about fumbling, especially if wearing gloves. Fair point on micro SD though, but I have never used them for photography.

I did however dent the ISO knob on my camera when trying to tether it to my laptop when sailing across drake's passage, and a wave tipped the boat and I instinctively grabbed the macbook and let the camera hit the deck. I've never had an issue with pushing dust into the SD slot of my camera or laptop. Unless the photographers in your own office are war photographers or dirt-bike specialists, I've probably given my kit a harder life than they have. Aswell as just being the camera i throw into my shoulder bag when going out. As for dust, my favourite camera has been to Syria, the desert southwest of the USA several times, morocco, antarctica on a sailing ship (so being sprayed a lot), and not to mention my local beach. Makes a big difference when you want to dump 64GB of pics. SD cards - I've never had an SLR or a high end mirrorless camera (but i haven't bought either for maybe 18 months) that's been able to transfer through itself at anything like the speed of a fast SD card in the slot. I do have my own HDMI-VGA though, but the VGAs seem to by dying out thankfully). SD cards are just for passing off to other people.)Įasy - half the conference venues don't come with dongles, or if they do the AV guy is dealing with a crisis in one of the other 17 conference rooms and won't be able to get to your one within your 20 min slot (this happens A Lot. All in all, cables are just easier if it's your own camera and your own computer. And for cameras that take micro-SD, when moving the card they're always a little paranoid they might drop the thing on the floor and lose it. They say they've had SD card slots wear out/break before. (I asked one just now, and they said: if you're trying to transfer photos outdoors, moving an SD card also has the chance of pushing dust into the SD card slot on the camera. Is there a reason you can't plug the camera into the computer (using a USB cable) to transfer the photos instead? That's what I see the photographers at my own office doing. > It's next to the SD card slot where I can put in the SD cards from my rather nice digital camera The dongle requirement is nearly-universal for connecting modern devices to projectors, to the point that you may as well just buy a set of dongles for each projector, rather than for each laptop. They either have mini-HDMI ports, or OTG ports. I would point out that modern non-Apple PCs don't tend to have HDMI ports, either. > which is cool because I have an HDMI port right there on the side of my macbook pro These people are also likely to be more accustomed to typing on shallower and lighter keyboards (including virtual and mechanical) so the change won't be as big a change for them than people who grew up with typewriters and Model Ms. I bet there's a large swath of young professionals right now who grew up with ultraportables like the macbook air but are looking for just a bit more performance right now. > Why does the (likely) most expensive full-size computing device need to lose weight vs everything else, especially when it's infringing on the actual user experience of working with it? Some are old, some don't have time to exercise, some choose not to, some don't have the choice and some others are and just prefer the convenience.


Are you walking 50 miles? How would you notice an extra pound? What about the rest of the stuff you carry, your clothes, your shoes? Is everything else already optimized?
