If Apple released a new phone or laptop this September and specifically marketed it as being better built and longer lasting (and therefore thicker and heavier), I'd buy it. Am I the only one?
I'd buy a fatter, easier to repair, MacBook Pro (like the old model they still sell), but only if I could order it with 32 GB of memory.
The thing is Macs used to last a very long time. I kept my 2008 MacBook for about 8 years and it was still a fine laptop until the last day. Today, my work requires a little bit more memory and 16 GB doesn't quite cut it anymore.
This is probably why I'm getting a hefty Thinkpad E for a fraction of the price of the laptop Apple can't build yet because thinner parts don't exist.
