Price wise its to damn expensive. Performance wise its just as good as competition in the same size, built. Not sure why people complain about this to be honest. Give some specific what you would have seen instead so we can talk about it. I mean putting a nVidia in this small and thin laptop i think would be sort of not possible considering cooling. I want this small form factor myself. It might cost me the same as the 16" but thats just to damn heavy and big to carry around.
Geekbench has confirmed the new MacBook Pro is running "N" Ice Lake-U processors, just like the MacBook Air. At least one identifier for the new generation has been detailed, too.
