They’re just not updating it anymore. It will still work

The first iPhone got 3 years of software support, first generation products always get screwed.

It's incredible and I know tons of people that would buy them if they were a monitor and not a $5k PC that will age.

I still use 30" monitors from 2008 that are not 4k but better than 1080p. A monitor should last a decade.

I remember when I was a student there was this company that took MacBook hardware and put it in a custom casing along with Wacom tech to make an ipad before it was ever a thing, crazy to think that it took 15+ years for it to become a legit product.

Except we’re not seeing a new VR headset each year.

Amazing! The future is now! I just can't believe I'll be alive to see the day that apple invents an interactive screen. Maybe next they can invent the toaster

Oh yeah all the features that make it special are 100% in the screen, like I said it's crazy overpriced and not worth it, but I just think it has a couple neat things about it. I had heard that something with the screen had increased that they could do with the tilt angle of their styluses which I was interested to hear more about, that was the day they were announced though so I may be misremembering.

The 3 is expected to be out this year so I'd say that's definitely the upgrade path they expect

Yeah that studio is awesome. If they'd released it five years ago.

It should be a monitor.

Apple, always one step behind.

Personally Id say one of the only things surface has done effectively is advance their pen tech, have you seen what they've done with the new all-in-one surface studio 2+? Overpriced by 3-4x but undeniably a pretty cool and decently high quality design device.

Just imagine the commercials

Touting it as the most advanced laptop ever when the Surface has been out for 5 years

None of that makes any sense. Iridium was a private company between 1999 and 2008. You could not buy shares in 2007.

It IPO'd in 2008 for $9 per share and has only gone up from there to $60 today.

I would buy an iMac with Apple Pencil support in a heartbeat ngl. If the prices were the same it would be a steal compared to other offerings

something something Android years ago.

Bout. Damn. Time.

I purchased 50,000 shares at a whopping $0.04 in 12/13/2007. So actually 16 years ago

Someone will port that old school Microsoft Surface app that would let you touch the pond with fish in it. And they will all freak out

Not if you talk to an Apple fan

As someone who owned the Surface Pro 1,2,3, Book, Book Performance Base, Book 2 and now has an Intel MacBook...I would love it if Apple did this.

Microsoft is utterly clueless with the Surface line. The Surfaces are all under-spec'd and over-priced and they've never bothered to advance their pen tech.

I bought an iPad Pro and the pencil is just great. It just works.

Give me a MacBook where I can rotate the screen like a Lenovo Yoga and turn it flat and use a pen and I'll pay whatever for it.

Isn't that the definition of apple?

So... overpriced 10-year-old hardware "new" concept I'm assuming every fanboi will swoon over?

Good. I love my MacBook, but I wish the screen had more smudges all over it.

The first touchscreen laptop I owned was in 1995. Mac is a bit late to the party.
