MacBook Pro

I like the machine, but whoever came up with that name needs to be spanked. I have the feeling that if I ever get one I’ll still call it a PowerBook. At least they didn’t change the name of the iMac to something stupid like iMac Pro or iMacScreen or iComputer. Am I alone in thinking the name MacBook Pro is just stupid?

    ‘PowerBook’ is just barely okay as a name for a product line. Apple’s other hardware offerings…ALL stupidly named. ‘MacBook Pro’ *is* the worst yet, though.

    Any ideas for an alternate name? Nothing like iPoopMachine?

    I imagine it won’t be too long until a new name evolves for the all the Macputers. Who knows, maybe it’ll be something even dumber like Macputer.
