True they have some products which has not been so well received, but they didn't exactly bomb either. Most of their products have managed to make a pretty good earning.

I do actually have the Trashcan Mac. It has served me quite well even if I wish a number of things were different with it. Must frustrating is that I cannot replace the SSD with a regular SSD.

In terms of aestethics, design, quality of materials it is really well made. You slide the shell off really nicely, so if it was just a bit bigger it would have been a machine that could have been serviced and upgraded very easily.

But this is the normal Apple problem. They fail to give us the flexibility and expansion solutions a lot of us would have liked to have. I don't want to have cables everywhere. Although I could have embraced Apple cable oriented expansion thinking if they only powered all the device you connected. My issues is having tons of power adapters under my desk. I don't want that.
