They've said that a couple of times. I'll believe it when I see it.

Why? I mean I've worked as a sysadmin using macs since they switched to Intel but at this point I'd switch to an X1 Carbon running Fedora if my 2013 Retina died. (And yes I had one of the newer ones at my last job)
I always pity the people who think they are "more productive" with a MBP while our Linux-on-TP users seem to be quite fine with their tools for at least half the price.
On top MBP users seem to need much more money for stupid little apps which happen to be free on linux to be even "more productive".
The newest keyboard is a piece of sht - it feels like no physical feedback at all.
When they need an upgrade they need a fin new MBP! Most of the parts can't be replaced anymore - this is really insane O.o
Maybe it was the plan all along, to get people used to a virtual keyboard once they get rid of the physical one (yes, I'm joking).
