What would your take be on a computer that had not been updated or upgrade in 1100 days? Would it be one of sadness, knowing that the writing is on the wall, knowing that sometime soon the machine would be lost to the ages? Or would it be a "wait and see"-approach for a machine that just hasn't been out of the dark for almost 3 years? The choice is certainly yours, but it's not like CEO Tim Cook is passionate about the machines. How does this sound?
Via: https://www.technobuffalo.com/2017/03/01/tim-cook-insists-apple-isnt-giving-up-on-pro-computers/ Certainly this can't be because of recent reports of new viruses for Mac coming on strong, right? And the problem here with using the word "pro" is certainly that now, unfortunately, there is a iPad Pro, which while neat and sporting a monster screen, is not exactly a computer for designers, now is it? But, the likelihood that the product line is dead is fairly unlikely: Macworld's latest issue's article on battery life for the MacBook Pro suggests that the platform is still living, and still looking pretty good in terms of longevity.

And certainly, it's not as if we're dealing with specific hard drive issues that cause people to lose data, which would certainly be far more catastrophic to say the least. We also are not dealing with a Samsung-like scenario where these machines are actually burning up, which is good. The Way Forward Fortunately, it appears that there are at least rumors that MacBook Pro will release some new models in 2017. Now, the likelihood is that there is simply no way that these computers are complete redesigns, but at least the guts should be solid. And as long as you don't find yourself with data problems like these, well then it's about time. But if the new versions don't come, what then? iPad Air Pro with add-on keyboard? We hope not.
