Hasn't it? They still sell nearly twice as many iPads as all Macs combined. Relative to units sold I think Apple invests heavily in the Mac platform you may (dis)like the new MacBooks and MBPs but clearly a lot of time and effort has been invested into their design.

And I wonder if many people crying here have actually tried it. I am a coder so remap esc -> caps which is actually better. It is a very good laptop; not sure how people can even compare the hardware to the Surface book. So the gripe must be about the touch bar which you get used to in a less than an hour. If you read my history you'll see I am desperate to leave Apple but not for the hardware quality ; only for openness.
