Have we reached peak laptop? Is it now about weight and finesse rather than performance?
Contradictory to each other no? If we had reached peak laptop then both would be benchmarks, its still kinda 3-ish year old spec for twice the price. I was really hoping Apple would give me less reason to hate at this keynote. I might evangelise on Medium how photoshop is actually much better than sketch just so I can use a cheap windows machine.
Tbf a lean workflow means a 12 inch macbook can also handle 'work'.
A great example of peak and then finesse is DA9000 to DA9100.

Have we reached peak laptop? Is it now about weight and finesse rather than performance? So my 1 year old last gen macbook pro is pretty much on par with the 4 year old macbook pro I had after upgrading it to a ssd and 16gb ram. It's of course not exactly the same, but the difference isn't worth the money unless my old laptop was worn out. Haven't tried the new ones, but looking at specs it seems to be kinda the same thing again? Nicer laptop for sure, but faster? Not so much.
Makes me wonder if the next setup I'll have will be an iMac at home for work, and a 13" macbook for travels, on site work and sofa.
