The father of the Macintosh is rightfully nonplussed.
Marco Arment is less rightfully less diplomatic about it.
John Siracusa doesn’t like it.

Best,

I just can’t say what I’m wanting more: significant upgrades or a thesaurus for Apple’s speechwriters since there must be a couple of words that can replace the “awesome” and “thrilled” that ring hollow after you hear them to describe every change and every gathering. Apple doesn’t need engineers as much as some sensitivity training towards customers’ concerns. That said I understand it can be difficult to please everyone and the much desired roadmap would play into the hands of its competitors. Still those competitors must clearly see that next generation Thunderbolt for example is going to happen and Apple will be the one to take advantage of it first, perhaps even in driving these large Retina displays.
