Hi Believer, Rightly said, however here’s a few points.
there’s a product called usb to thunderbolt converter I’m forced to buy because i bought an apple product. Not saying this because I don’t like it, but its a design decision against standards that one or other company forces which forces me, the end of the food chain, to buy because I have other products which I use which are not compatible. All a matter of choice, and choice we have yet don’t have. you know why? Simply because we’re visually impaired and are restricted to what is available. I’m sure if you or i were sighted, we could very well be happy with a chromebook or an android. I reported this via mail because I was actually infuriated by the big gap between what was presented to me during the apple keynote and what I felt touched and heard from the apple store. And the freaking price. Same price as an iphone 6 64 gigs. Food for thought. And if you look at the reviews, they are mixed already, not unanimous like other quote unquote revolutionary products such as iphone or the good iteartive outings of macbooks and airs. So its more of a warning to others than my personal I think yada blahbbling.
