>Can I ask what you mean by 'I really don't like where the new macbooks are going'?
1. Lack of ports. USB-C is cool and everything, but I'd rather have a bit of extra bulk in the laptop body and get an HDMI or thunderbolt display port. Also, only one port on the MacBook (non-Pro) is crazy. I don't want to carry around 6 dongles with me everywhere I go.
2. No upgrades of anything. RAM & disk are now inaccessible and soldered in. On my current macbook pro (~2012) I popped off the back and put 16GB of generic RAM in it the day I bought it. That's not possible anymore.
3. Disk upgrade is tied to everything else upgrade. You can't get a basic macbook with a 512GB SD. You have to buy the premium processor to get the larger disk... wtf...
4. Butterfly keyboard. I haven't really tried this yet, but there are lots of complaints about the feel and durability of the new keyboard. At least Apple has acknowledged the problem and has started a warranty program to fix broken ones.
5. $$$. Ok, macs have always been more expensive, and you get better build quality for the price. But it seems like many PC brands have closed the gap without hitting those price points.
