Saving money by using an older spec which only an idiot would find impressive

While the Tame Apple Press is hyping the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, it seems to have ignored the fact that Jobs’ Mob is using a steam driven HDMI spec which is complete rubbish.

While the newly announced 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models have HDMI ports, but they have a limitation that could be frustrating for many users over the long term.

According to Apple's specs page for both machines the HDMI port has "support for one display with up to 4K resolution at 60 Hz". That means users with 4K displays at 120 Hz (or less likely, 8K displays at 60 Hz) won't be able to tap the full capability of those displays through this port.
