MacBook Pro i9 Throttling Megathread

I disagree, thinness/compactness is a huge selling point for a lot of people. It might seem like you don't care about it, but go back to a previous model of MBP from what you have and you will probably realize that you like it too. It's important that something you take everywhere with you is portable. If you want more power than maybe a laptop isn't the right fit. Even still, inch-per-inch Apple is able to cram way more power into the MBP than any other laptop manufacturer. The arguments about the cd drive, non-replaceable batteries, etc all pretty much go away once people realize that they like Apple's "obsession with thinness" - even if only subconsciously.
