I always figured I would get whatever was equivalent of the current $1799 four-port MacBook Pro — the base “real” Pro with the higher-watt processors — and then bump the RAM up, because of course the base config wouldn’t have enough. So, like, $2k.

I’m sure the 14-inch Pro will come with a bit of a price bump, because this is Apple, but there’s a big difference between $2200 and like $3300 for me. If the 16-inch started at $2399, like the current 15-inch, I would maybe stretch and get it, even though I’d really want something smaller. But at $3299 or thereabouts, I just wouldn’t, even if that was a fair price for the computer. I’d probably just get the cheapest Pro I could (because I am not spending $2k on a computer with that keyboard) and be sad about it.

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
