Neil Young born in 1945, with several Grammy awards and Juno, named in 2000 as one of the best Rock & Roll soloists, twice included in the hall of fame for that musical style has stated that the MacBook Pro "sucks."
Harsh words for this Apple device in which the company has put so much effort and technology. Especially in the new 16-inch MacBook Pro, which is true that has had its problems, but it seems that everything is going smoothly.
Neil Young claims the MacBook Pro's sound is toy
At Apple's celebration of emerging artists using the MacBook Pro to record their music, surely Neil Young's statements they weren't what fans of this laptop expected.
Worth literally reproduce what the artist said about audio quality MacBook Pro when editing and manipulating audio. Something fundamental for a musician who is what he lives on.
"It is a piece of garbage. Are you kidding? That's Fisher-Price quality. He's like Captain Kangaroo, your new engineer. A MacBook Pro? What are you talking about? You can't get anything out of that thing. The only way you can take it out is if you put it on. And if you put it in, you can't take it out because the DAC is not good on the MacBook Pro. So you have to use an external DAC and do a lot of things to compensate for the problems that the MacBook Pro has because they are not aimed at quality. . They are aimed at consumerism ”.
...
"Now, when you talk about doing that on a MacBook Pro, it disgusts me ".
In addition, the artist stated that in his moment spoke with Steve Jobs himself. He answered something that surprises us a lot:
«We are making products for consumers, not quality »
Hard words from an expert in the field against one of Apple's star products. One of two, or Neil Young does not mince words and says truths like temples or moves him a kind of resentment-resentment against Apple for having spoiled (in his own opinion) the advancement of the device created by him (Pono, a player quality music).
Be that as it may, these words will not go unnoticed and although the normal of the mortals we do not have as much sensitivity with the audio as the composer, it can make certain experts think twice before using a MacBook Pro.
