The problems with the new macbook "pro" seem to keep on growing. I am really surprised that Apple did not find the connecting to external display issue in internal testing.
I agree, Microsoft has been really leading in innovation over the last few years, with the surface book last year and the studio this year. I have been really let down with Apple lately and their lack of willingness to innovate. Hopefully we will see something truly innovative from Apple on Friday, but I doubt it.
