These are no longer computers designed to be updated and maintained by a user, but as machines designed to be disposable and require replacement within two or three years.

Hey. That's all fine and good. But they need to move the decimal point if that's their plan. $4000 every 2 to 3 years for a new computer???
Yeah, because that Forbes guy has an inside line to both Apple and its customers. Therefore, "every two or three years."

Has your WTF? brain circuit gone bad, DP?
Haha. Yeah. I forgot. Apple doesn't release new machine but once every 4 to 5 years.

Cupertino’s future does not feel like it is focused on the classic laptop form and macOS, but on sealed Pro tablets running iOS.

I don't care what the author feels. I think he's full of merda.

I can see, 4-5 years from now wanting to upgrade the storage or go to 32GB of RAM or more. For now I'd still need a card reader and USB dongles.
