Thinking of upgrading to the 1080 from R9 290. I am gaming on a 34" ultra-wide 1440x3440 right now and the 290 seems to not quite cut it in many places. With selling my current card plus selling Destiny 2 looks like I can nab the 1080 for $300-330 net. But would be silly if I got this and then...
Yep, I know exactly how you feel. It's a strange place to be in in the computer world, when a 6-year-old chip is basically the same as the latest and greatest, unless you go for something with more cores and have a workload that can actually take advantage of them.

The new screen and general operating smoothness are a huge improvement, but my concern would be the longevity of the new iPad with its 2GB of RAM. I would prefer for the new iPad to last a while...
That keyboard is definitely not the future. It's a compromise forced by the small form factor.
Just because the low profile, low travel keys from the other MacBooks are common on laptops these days and people are used to them, does not mean that I find my desktop mechanical full keyboard...
