Description

Wall Street Journal tech columnist Joanna Stern talks with Recode's Kara Swisher and The Verge's Lauren Goode about Apple's new MacBook Pro lineup and Microsoft's new Surface Studio desktop and Surface Book laptops. Stern says she has found the new MacBooks' most prominent feature — a touch-enabled strip above the keyboard — to be intermittently handy, but it's not a must-have. She argues that Apple may struggle with increasing the price of its laptops, as competing computers with equally good design and better specs can be found for half the cost. The trio also answers your questions about USB-C, battery life and dongles.
