With all of the (deserved) internet outrage about the MacBook Pro, Apple’s sales of Macs aren’t showing thier direction is the wrong one.

That being said, for a personal development machine, I would much rather have a 27 inch 5K iMac with the same specs. Work provides me a decent laptop.



It's hard to tell from the data. Sales should perhaps have been higher. The macbook pro hadn't been refreshed for a bit in late 2016.

Me and some other pro users were insta-buys for the new machines. But then they had few ports and no function keys. We're still on 2015 machines.

I'm holding out for the mac pro, but I would have bought 1-2 macbook pros if they had been suitable.
