    New Macbook Pros look like Powerbook G4 Titanium

    Did you recognize that also? That was the first thing when I saw them and loved the new design. Also, appreciated that Apple made the new models thicker and heavier. No more thinness craze after all, huh?

    Poll: How long will it take Apple to add FaceID to Mac notebooks?

    The new 2021 MBP is chonky & thicc - do you like the design/form factor?

    Am I the only one that loved the weight of my 3lbs Macbook Pro? The extra 0.5lbs on the 14" (3.5lbs total) does something to me where it could cross the threshold of just being to heavy and I hate that on my back. The 2021s 14" ~1cm thicker in width, ~1cm thicker in depth, ~0.6cm thicker in...
