[QUOTE="BigD, post: 1856080, member: 37520"] I respect what Nick has said regarding agreeing to disagree and agree with you ferrarr that on its own the decision to get rid of the Dashboard is insignificant. The problem arises when the loss of multiple 'minor' features outweighs the new features. The USB-C ports, Touch Bar and now soon to be more optimised and highly efficient Arm processors do not outweigh the 'lost' features in my view. You are entitled to your view of the future / progress but what is useful to you or I should NOT be dictated to us especially at an immovable price point. If there are significantly less features in a future product then the price should be lowered to match or an alternative product line / backwards compatibility enabled product should be provided. My triple booting MacBook Pro is functional but it required an overly strenuous setup exercise in order to retain an acceptable level of backwards compatibility with older OSX Mac apps and games like Elite Dangerous that demand platform agnostic technologies that Apple showed no interest in maintaining. That's all fine if Apple want to throw away all that code base, useful apps / what games support the Mac once enjoyed and rather demand that we all relearn our work flows for different Apple approved Arm software / buy additional hardware. However, we can still ask ourselves whether Apple is making tangible improvements that warrant the price point. Enough said. [/QUOTE]
