Is Apple a phone manufacturer now? The bluetooth module on my mid-2012 MacBook Pro is malfunctioning, and I don't know if a reboot would kick it back in operation. I have been using this laptop for (you guessed it) 6 years. I often joke that I plan to use it till 2020. But deep down, I have been yearning for a new computer for the past 1 year. After all, I would like to play XCOM 2 and Civ 6 on my laptop without the fan overspeeding the whole time. The PC side of the aisle has produced some interesting products in the last 2 years: the Dell XPS series, Lenovo X1, and sometimes HP Spectre. I have read their reviews and contemplated switching to Linux. macOS has stopped innovation in recent years. The last big update features Siri. Which for all the love of dog I can't use in the office. But my recent exploration of useful software made me rediscover DevonThink Pro Office and OmniFocus. I spent hefty bucks on them a few years ago while I was fascinated by all those shiny apps on Mac OSX (yes it was how macOS was called then), but only learn to appreciate their power and elegance recently. They have made macOS obligatory again. ... and highlights how Apple itself overlooks its once glorious hardware and software platform. The iPhone, sold at over $1,000 a piece, is where profit and attention are. The Macs are becoming thinner at the cost of reliability and performance. Apple computers are becoming a difficult deal that I only take because of third-party software. I bought my first Mac when Apple still calls itself "Apple Computer Inc." I understand phones and watches are where the profit lies, and no one says Apple should stay in a business not so profitable just because that's their first business (IBM no longer make and sell typewriters). But if Apple no longer consider itself a computer manufacturer, maybe it can do good by stopping designing and making computers and allowing hackingtoshes.
