Yeah from certain angles, good looking computers these ain't, though that could be forgiven if the view of the display and keyboard deck which you'll be looking at 99% of the time was good - and for the most part it is, but the black keyboard surround just bothers me. It's like why have you done that? It neither looks good nor serves a functional purpose... and now I'm starting to sound like Jony Ive, but in this case I get it!
It’s your own fault that you expect impossible things. 99.9% of the renders out there aren’t realistic. This is a perfect example.
If that's how you evaluate your purchase decisions, then you're not really the target market for this machine, anyway. Let's be honest.
This is one hell of an ugly MacBook ?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 height* (compared to my 13" 2017 MBPs @1.49cm. The outgoing MBPs are 1.56cm, so 2021 would be 0.1mm thinner than current, but not thinner than previously)
The design aesthetic is also very resemblant to the bottom of white Macbook, which was released in 2006, the earliest I can think of this design being used. Also imagine this in silver for the aluminium Macbook Pros, which practically had shared the same design
Yes, no dongles and blazing fast and pro but it is a very very very thicc boy.
And the feet... the big fat feet.
I had one of these. It was my 7th or 8th mac, since 1986, starting with the apple 2, actually. MY first real mac was the Plus back in 1990. I had a Cambridge Sinclair programmable in 1976.
