I must admit that the lure of the new MacBookPro16" was strong-However, in the light of day it is an expensive ticket to an exclusive club (cult of mac) that I can still appreciate, but long for the features that I love on my older MBP's (13"Mid2010 & 17"Late2011).Miss the venerable startup chime, activity light, charging status button, magsafe charging port not to mention the illuminated Apple Logo, and all the internals that used to be "USER CONFIGURABLE" (ie, battery. ssd, ram, etc).IMHO this is only cost effective if it's the last computer you ever own.Otherwise, there are many more sensible (and practical) options available at half the cost.Still, I am frequently at the mercy of Mac's alluring spell, only to come to my senses in the morning...
