Sincerely hope that this Pro doesn't destroy its LCD screen when closing the lid, whilst the slightest little crumb is in the hinge. A very poor design for the once great Apple Company. Not to mention the disasters with the keyboard, LCD and some more issues with the flagship MacBook Pro.

The key phrase is “starts at $3,000”. As usual, the base model is barely functional with little memory, a trivial amount of storage, and likely substandard graphics (even if ALL you’re doing is ‘browsing the web’). More significantly, though, they’re releasing this knowing that it’s hamstrung (OLED) so you’ll need to upgrade after only a year.
