And that's OK

The editors didn't like

Among other things
To that point
GPU technology is moving quickly
But the eGPU upgrade path is not yet open
The Apple Magic
Upgrading storage or memory requires a professional
Very expensive
Poor upgradeability/repair options
Integrated display
Inflexible nonmodular design
Pricey
Performance gains depend upon workflow
Uncomfortable keyboard
No access to RAM slots without voiding warranty
Price goes north quickly if upgrading components
Fan stays too even under extended load
