I owned the 2015 MacBook, sold it after about a year, but not because I didn't love it. Granted, I have a desktop to do intensive tasks, so it wasn't my main machine. I recently bought a 2017 MacBook Pro 13 and having to choose between the two, I went with the MBP. Guerin Catholic High School is a 1:1 laptop school, and below are the. (MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro). REMAINING 2017-2018 ALL-SCHOOL MASSES*. Please check the online Mass calendar on GuerinCatholic.org.
As sure as the Earth sweeps through its orbit around the sun, the changing of a calendar year is a time to reflect about what’s happened and ponder what’s to come. Last year I from the Mac in 2016; the results were. Truth be told, 2016 was a. There were new MacBook Pros and a slightly updated MacBook, and of course OS X became macOS, but there were no new Mac desktops for the first time in a long time. Keeping in mind that these lists are always a mixture of informed guessing and sheer wishcasting, here’s a list of some of the things I hope we see from the Mac in 2017. Mac Pro: Wanted, dead or alive The all-new Mac Pro was unveiled in 2013, a groundbreaking new design with a near-silent fan and loads of CPU and GPU power. Phil Schiller boasted about Apple’s Mac innovation.
It was an interesting, if controversial, approach to a high-end computer. And then: nothing. What's the latest microsoft word for mac. For three years, the Mac Pro has sat on Apple’s price lists with no price or specification changes to speak of. At some point, it becomes embarrassing to even attempt to sell such an out-of-date product at the full price set in 2013.
You could argue that Apple crossed the line into embarrassment in 2015, but it’s certainly reached that point now. This needs to end, one way or another. Either it’s time for the Mac Pro to be discontinued and shown the door, or it’s time for Apple to update it–either by keeping the existing design but with the latest Intel hardware, or by tossing the “trash can Mac” into the trash and doing something new. Which will happen?

It depends on which tea leaves you read, apparently. I’m inclined to be optimistic: If Apple truly wanted to kill the Mac Pro, wouldn’t it be dead already? The lingering suggests to me that Apple really is working on a replacement, and delays have left the company in this embarrassing position.
Also, I think there’s a place in the Mac product line for a Mac that can fulfill needs that an iMac simply can’t match. I’m pretty satisfied with my 2014 5K iMac (which, last time I checked, was still faster than the lowest-end Mac Pro models), but there are some people who really want lots of processor cores and workstation performance. It would sure be great if Apple could please them–but at this point even admitting they won’t ever be satisfied would be an act of mercy. The Mac mini, dead or alive Speaking of Macs that need a final disposition: What’s up with the Mac mini?
It’s been the most neglected Mac in terms of updates for a long time, but it seems like it’s past time for one. The Mac mini is never going to be a huge hit, but it’s a useful product for schools, as a server, attached to TV sets, and all sorts of other wacky places.
I’ve had a Mac mini running in my house for more than a decade now. I’d like the little guy to survive. Or maybe Apple should solve both of these issues with a single new product: a desktop Mac without a display that can be outfitted with processors from the mid-range to the high end, something that’s more like a Mac mini at its base price but more like a Mac Pro at the high end.
But if it happens, I’m going to point at this paragraph and nod like I knew it all along. Roman Loyola Second port, please. Next-generation MacBook This was on my list last year, and I’m bringing it back until I get satisfaction: I’d like to see Apple take a second crack at the MacBook, two years after introducing it. Adding support for Thunderbolt 3 would be swell, and adding a second USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port would be even better. While Apple’s at it, how about some more color in the Mac line? The MacBook–already available in gold, rose gold, space gray, and silver–seems like the best place to start.
I’d like a metallic blue MacBook, myself. Bite the bullet and eliminate the spinning disc Another item I’m replaying from my 2016 wish list: Apple needs to clear spinning-disc hard drives out of the iMac line. I know that flash storage is expensive and the drives are small–that’s why I consider the Fusion Drive an acceptable transitional form. But it’s absolutely criminal that the base-model 4K iMac is still sold with a spinning disc rather than a Fusion Drive. The Mac experience is vastly improved with fast storage; those slow spinning drives in the low-end iMacs don’t cut it. IMac revisions–and Touch ID After major revisions in the falls of 2014 and 2015, Apple’s iMac line went untouched in 2016. That needs to change in 2017.
