Voenix Rising

Are you trying to make me fall in love with you again?

The company announced its new 16-inch MacBook Pro yesterday, and reviewers were uniformly orgasming. While still not a perfect machine (the ports are never coming back, fellas), Apple has fixed everything that was wrong with the previous generation—most notably the keyboard.

Current financial restraints prohibit me from rushing out and grabbing one of these bad boys (the base model would more than serve my needs, but even that clocks in at $2399), but six months down the road (maybe sooner) will be a different story. By that time the rest of the line should’ve been updated as well. I’m hoping for a 14-inch to replace the current 13-inch models because—while it would be nice to have a much larger screen than I currently do, Ben has the current 15-inch model and It seems much heavier than mine. I’d also need to get a new shoulder bag and yada, yada, yada.

If one of these new 16-inch models were to fall into my lap, however, I certainly wouldn’t turn It down.

Plus, six months will give the inevitable “gates” time to rear their ugly heads because as sexy as this new machine is, it is new, and will undoubtedly have its fair share of issues. Hopefully the newly redesigned scissor keyboard won’t be one of them.
