Have you ever been to a FAANG campus? There are thousands of engineers walking around with MacBooks. I’m pretty sure those engineers would be considered to be professional


Where it doesn't matter that the maxed out specs at which point you can call the machine "Pro" cost something like €3000?

I'm sorry, but 8GB LPDDR3 and 256GB SSD with 2 USB-C ports and jet engine fans aren't really that "Pro".


You are moving the goalposts. So the high end version of the laptop is “pro” but the cheaper one isn’t? Doesn’t this follow for other similar ultra books?

Why does a computer have to be cheap-ish to be “pro”?


Because it carries the "Pro" label. Why not just call it Macbook then? Why release what is essentially 2 products under one label, confusing consumers. It's predatory because Apple charges way too much for way too little when it comes to the Intel Gen8 models of the 2020 MBP.
