Read in a Jony Ive voice:
 
"Here at Apple, we realize that our customers touch the Power button only once throughout their entire session. And because our new new new MacBook Pros automatically turn on when the lid is opened, we've removed the unnecessary Power button. In the extremely unlikely event that your MacBook freezes and you need to restart, simply plug in a USB-C Power Button Dongle to restart your machine."

Yeah, but don't you run a business on selling computers? It'd be a good tidbit to let customers know, if they ever buy a 2016 MBP from you.
 
 

That is not true. Just because people buy something, doesn't mean that it actually suits their needs. That's the problem with "using your own judgement" when it's about a subject you have very little knowledge about, there is a high chance that you make the wrong judgement.
 
Argumentum ad populum

Most people I've seen are not complaining solely about the specs of the Macbook Pro not being "pro". They complain about lots of other things too such as the laughable amount of adapters you will need.
 
 
That entire article is shite for a number of reasons.
1) We don't know if he was using GPU accelerated encoding or not. He does not say which Mac he uses (not all of them supports QuickSync) either so I can't even guess.
2) His comparison is idiotic. You do not use JPEG to compare quality, ever. You use a lossless format. For all we know, the artifacts we see in his comparison images might not be in the original file. They might 100% be from whichever program he used to create the JPEGs. When you do an image quality comparison, you ALWAYS use a lossless image format like PNG. Anything else renders the comparison shots completely untrustworthy and useless.
3) He did not post the original image (before the transcode taking place) so we have no idea what the scene should actually look like. He says the Adobe one has a red tint but for all we know that might be the correct color, and FCP is adding a green tint.
4) The Premier image is a lot blockier, but the FCP image is a lot more grainy. Artifacts like the ones you see in the Adobe image are very common JPEG artifacts, so like I said before we have no idea of knowing if those are from the image being converted to JPEG, or from the actual video encode. JPEG does however not add noise to an image so it is pretty safe to guess that the noise is there in the original Final Cut file.
 
There is a quality difference. It's just that the video gets transcoded again when they are uploaded to YouTube, so the extra quality would mostly be wasted and so the extra time it would take is not worth it. Besides, Adobe's encoder is crap so it might not be that much better than QuickSync (and I doubt many people feel like exporting from Premier in a lossless format, then run that file though a good encoder like x264).
 
 
It is QuickSync, and it's not magic.
It's not a coincident that all devices that supports QuickSync, such as the dual core 13" Macbook Pro outperforms the 8 core Mac Pro when exporting from Final Cut. This benchmark should also disprove everyone who thinks it is because of optimizations because "OS X is great because it runs on specific hardware and that allows Apple to optimize it really well". If that was the case then the Mac Pro 2013 would destroy the MacBook Pro, which it doesn't.

 
 
Well that's because you are ignorant.
 
I do, because it is. As you can see in the benchmark above, because of the media engine the dual core Macbook Pro outperforms the 8 core Mac Pro in this particular test. Remove that piece of hardware and the Macbook Pro would be terrible slow and the Mac Pro would run circles around it.
 
It generally does actually, at least for comparable tasks. It's just that you need to know what specs to look for.
A dual core AMD CPU at 3GHz will be slower than a dual core Intel CPU at 2.9GHz. Does that mean that "specs doesn't matter because the CPU with lower GHz is faster!"?
Of course not, because most people on this forum will know that because of Intel's superior architecture 1GHz on their chip does not equal 1GHz on an AMD CPU.
 
I've been here. I just haven't posted in Macbook Pro threads. Believe it or not, but I don't actually post in every thread I see, nor do I particularly enjoy posting bad things about Apple (or any company for that matter). I post when I think that I can contribute something to the thread. In the case of the dozen of threads about Macbook Pro adapters everything I want to say has already been said by someone else.
 
Anyway, I am one of those people who do think specs is everything. It's just that specs are more than just the GHz of a CPU, or the number of GB of RAM.

Now imagine turning a proper specced laptop into a hackintosh to run Final Cut Pro... THAT would be a nice apples to apples comparison. 
These comparisons tell more about Premiere than about the Macbook.

Some info before the story itself - before going to university I saved some money and bought myself an Aspire laptop(i5 540m, GTX 540m, 6 GB DDR3(upgraded from 3GB, still don't know who had the bright idea to combine 2GB and 1GB sticks) and 5400rpm hdd). It is a good mid to low end machine, which I used as my main rig for 3-4 years. After starting my first job I bought myself my current PC and a year later - a G751, so I decided to send the old Aspire to my parents to use(the thing still works).
So a friend family went to visit my parents. They have a kid, which is 12-13 years old. My parents gave him the laptop and after 10 minutes a shout came from the room:
 - Wow, this is a gaming laptop, isn't it?
 - Why do you think so? - asked my father.
 - It's red and is so fast...
P.S. I'm curious how will he react to something with ssd in it
 

I upgrade parts when needed, don't see the point in buying a whole new pc when upgrading 1 or 2 parts will work fine.

With adapters though, you can't just plug a HDMI port into USB, there aren't enough pins even.
Thunderbolt 3 natively supports USB, so all you need is a type C cable for plugging in any USB device.

Can this be an idea for a youtube video - full case decals?

I want that child's intelligence tested thoroughly.  
 
"It's red and fast so it must be awesome.  Derp derp."  ?
 
I joke but seriously if he thinks that old computer is a fast gaming laptop then yikes I fear he's in for a shock if he ever gets to use something newer especially if it has a SSD in it like you mentioned.

Hillary Clinton as President is realy realy scary.

So true, compared to my current Macbookk, if i were to replace it with this one i'd need:
an Ethernet to type-C adaptor
a SD card reader to type-C
a HDMI to type-C adaptor
a......... and i just run out out of ports considering the last one must be used for charging
so no keyboard, no mouse, no stand cooler, no external hard drive (all things currently plugged to my macbook in addition to the ones above)
 
And since i love OSX i'm either screwed to use my macbook till it dies and by the time it does, hopefully, Apple may have pulled it's head out of Ive's butthole or i may find myself with no laptops and only rely on my gaming rig for my compute needs 
sad really 

May not make sense, dont try to learn how to programming in one language learn how to just program. That is learn theory, that way you know the core basics that most (Most popular languages) for all the languages, and then can learn the little tricks for each languages as you go.
 
Key thing is learn why not just how. Ie try to learn the low level workings of software, which can then help you with problem solving later down the line.

Thank you all very much and with all this I've decided to start with Python. Thanks for all the advice not just about which to use but about personal experience. There's nothing better than to learn from someone you hope to be. In short it's not as much about what to learn its about the drive to learn. Thank you all for your answer and I'm happy to say I'm excited as hell to start college (which is a weird thing to say).

On the topic of the hotter CPUs - should've used AMD ones. Some of them give away a ton of heat and are easily overclockable for even more heat.

I like Windows Phones(not kidding).

I completely agree.

Dropped a CPU on the floor and bent some pins.
 
But Windows Phones are awesome.
