[a-no-n]

Apple, as a laptop manufacturer, is done.

The company is continuing to regress, having lost its edge (SJ).

They're completely on the process bandwagon of requiring more accessories, having lost the beauty and functionality of clever, practical simplicity which advances the user experience, instead of making it crappier and inconvenient for change's sake.

Tim Cook's gotta go, they need a more forceful visionary than a bean-counter. MacBook Pro's need to consider detachable displays, alternatives to keyboards, other modes of interaction, so on.

> detachable displays, alternatives to keyboards, other modes of interaction

Add built-in always-connected internet and you have an iPad Pro. The software isn't there quite yet, but it's really damn close.

Tim Cook is fine. Ive need to quit.

I haven't seen "Ive" at the beginning of a sentence before and it's surprisingly hard to parse.

[anentropic]

Agreed

he's beautifully designing a load of nonsense

Apple is what - the biggest single laptop manufacturer? It seems hyperbolic to describe them as "done".

Apple isn't the biggest laptop manufacturer. http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/apple-2015-notebook-m...

It's irrelevant if they get eaten alive by Microsoft.

MacBook Pro's don't even have a touchscreen, which would be the least innovation necessary to keep their heads above water.

Right now, Apple is a sinking titanic like Woolworths.

By profits they are for sure.

[a-no-n]

Three straight quarters of sales in free-fall.

No significant new products.

Done.
