本杰明·巴顿评新款 MacBook Pro
Benjamin Button Reviews the New MacBook Pro
2016 — 2021，它一次次回到首页
黑点是上首页（≥ 50 分）的那次投稿，空心点是没冲上去的投稿，点越大分数越高。
导读
这是 Pinboard 博客上一篇讽刺性的 MacBook Pro 评测，借“本杰明·巴顿”（时光倒流、越活越年轻）的设定，用“反向”视角点评 2016 年带 Touch Bar 的新款 MacBook Pro——通过抬高上一代来暗讽新款的接口取舍、键盘与内存上限等变化。文中也顺带讨论了 USB-C 统一接口等当时的热点争议。
为什么经久不衰：它用巧妙的时光倒流梗记录了苹果设计争议的经典一轮，而后来苹果真的“回头”加回 MagSafe、去掉 Touch Bar，让这篇讽刺更耐读。

苹果一贯如此，吐槽的人最终还是会买单。
有些人似乎认为 MacBook 只面向开发者，苹果有义务只听他们的反馈。醒醒吧：世界不是围着 Hacker News 转的。说实话，苹果历史上从来不是等市场适应新技术的那一个，而是一有新技术就立刻用到产品上、淘汰旧标准，大家早知道，真不该惊讶。总的来说，不管你喜不喜欢，没人在乎 ESC 键是在 Touch Bar 上还是传统实体键，更没人在乎有没有 32GB 版本——大多数开发者连 16GB 都用不满。给了 32GB 人们又会喊为什么没有 64GB；没有 Touch Bar 人们又会抱怨苹果不再创新。苹果做的就是它几十年来一直在做的事。不喜欢就换别的笔记本跑 Win10 或 Linux，但我们都知道你不会。你迟早会买，然后 2018 年出新款时又来抱怨，然后还是会买。

Some people seem to think that the MacBook is only for developers and Apple is obliged to listen to only their feedback. News flash: world doesn't revolve around hacker news. Let's be honest for a moment. Apple has never in the history been the one to wait for market to adapt to some new technology. They have been the one who immediately puts it on their products and gets rid of the old standards. Everybody has known this for years so this really shouldn't surprise anyone. Generally speaking whether you like it or not, no one really cares if the ESC button is on the touchbar instead of being traditional physical button. Even fewer people care if there are ridiculous 32GB models available when most devs dont even need 16GB. Not to mention average consumers. If Apple would give you guys 32GB option then people would cry why they can't get 64GB option. If the new MacBook wouldn't have touchbar then people would complain why Apple isn't innovating anymore etc. What Apple is doing with their new MacBook is what Apple has been doing with their products for decades. If you don't like it feel free to switch to other laptops and run Win10 or Linux. But we all know you won't. You'll buy this MacBook sooner or later, then in 2018 when Apple releases new models you'll be here complaining about something again and you'll still buy that one as well.
16GB 内存上限是硬伤，令专业用户失望。
但新款出人意料地没有增加内存，停留在有点让人抓狂的 16GB 上限，这对虚拟机用户、图形和视频设计者可不是好消息。

But the new model surprisingly hasn't had any increase in memory, sticking to a somewhat frustrating limit of 16GB, something that won't come as welcome news to VM users, or graphics and video designers.
点明“本杰明·巴顿”反向评测的笑点，以及标题年份造成的误解。
标题有误导性（链接页面里并没有 2022）。笑点在于这篇是 2016 年 Touch Bar 版 MBP 发布时写的，它把上一代当作比新款更好的产品来评测。我觉得很多人因为各种原因没 get 到笑点，而标题里加的 2022 更加剧了这一点。

The title here is misleading (there's no 2022 in the linked page). The joke is that this was released in 2016 when the new MBP with the touch bar came out, and was reviewing the _previous_ version as an improvement over the new one. I feel like people are missing the joke here for lots of reasons, but the addition of 2022 to the title here contributes.
苹果回归实用接口与键盘，是对过去错误设计的承认。
我认为新笔记本对苹果意义重大。有人觉得我们是在庆祝苹果把本该一开始就有的接口加回来、键盘本不该变得那么糟。但我把它看作一种庆祝：这基本等于承认他们之前错了，并造出了一台更重、更“丑”但人们真正想要/需要的机器。正如乔布斯所说，设计就是它如何运作。转接头之城加烂键盘是糟糕的设计，现在他们重新把可用性放在首位。

I think that the new laptops are a huge deal for Apple. Some folks argue that we're celebrating them putting back ports that should have been there from the beginning. And that the keyboards should have never gotten so bad. I see it as a celebration. It's essentially an acknowledgement that they were wrong about all that, and they've built a heavier and "uglier" machine that people actually want/need. As SJ said, design is how it works. Dongletown + bad keyboards was a bad design, and now they're back to prioritizing usability.
