Apple's head designer Jony Ive says he 'hears' your MacBook criticism (AAPL)

Perhaps Apple's planning some changes to the MacBook lineup.

In the past year, some of Apple's most vocal fans have been expressing issues with the company's oldest line of products: Mac computers.

If there's a silver lining for Mac users, it's that Jony Ive, Apple's chief design officer and one of the most powerful people at the company, says he's listening to user complaints.

"Absolutely, all of your feelings and feedback around the MacBook you use, we couldn't want to listen to more," Ive said earlier this week in Washington DC. "And we hear — boy, do we hear."

It's the second time this year that Apple has said it's listening to Mac user complaints. In April, Apple executives told journalists that some Mac models didn't "well suit some of the people we wanted to reach." At that event, the company said it planned to release a new, powerful iMac desktop for professional users in December.
