Yeah, its amazing that they sold 170 million iPads all because of shrewd marketing.

The new 15" MacBook Pro looks pretty damn great. 1TB SSD, Iris Pro graphics, Thunderbolt 2.0, faster SSD. I don't really care if it's "exciting" or not. My four year old Macbook Pro has been the most reliable computer I've ever owned. And those improved specs matter to me; it's a powerful tool and I'm happy to drop $4k (tax, Applecare, etc.) for it.
