Hmm, I wonder if they should've made the touchbar slightly taller to fit more stuff.

 

That being said, that trackpad is really big. I wonder what's to gain by having it that large (The previous MacBook touchpad size looked good to me).

 

I also wonder how fragile that touch strip is (Not that anyone should manage to break it) and how hard it is to fix if it did break somehow.

I kind of agree, I don't necessarily see myself using it much, but I'd rather the OLED bar than the traditional function row.

Yea same. I WOULD like to be able to just scan my finger and checkout on a website though, but not enough to switch operating systems.Yet. But again, something Windows won't really be able to do.

I see the touch bar thing distracting. And it is shame that they removed the F# keys to put this. They could have added it over it. I think it would be good for professionals, but now it is silly.  It would be OK if they were physical keys. Try hitting F10 to skip to the next line of code when debugging, you can't rest your finger on the screen...

not even close

Assuming it's a full 460, then it's like a fifth of a 1080?

That touch bar is annoyingly something that will never really be seen on Windows PCs (at least in a way that's decent).

This is where Apple's closed ecosystems pay off since they can build this contextual stuff right into the operating system and optimized per device - and no doubt it will be easy to implement for developers.

It was attempted before on Windows. Behold, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2nd gen.

It failed. Miserably. Lenovo has never attempted this again because of how poorly it worked in the real world.

Hmm, since they're showing going through footage with the touchbar, I wonder if it's better than using the arrow keys or a mouse.

The difference is that Apple has more power/control to push it successfully.

Yea, I used one of those, was the basis for my point. It will never work on Windows properly because device fragmentation and different hardware interpretations will make it impossible to develop for and provide a consistent experience across devices.

 

Apple's will work a lot better, especially by second or third gen because they have complete control over hardware and software and will make it really easy to implement by third parties.

So there's no MagSafe, no SD card reader and it's thinner yet again, for whatever reason.

 

So there goes your photographer audience. Those Polaris graphics, who knows what those may be. At least the SSD is a beast.

Ye ole' train

Lol this presenter is super cutesy and quirky but its working for her and the presentation. 

 

DJ demo is kind of cringy but it shows the responsiveness of the touch bar. Was worried about that.

I don't think it will cost any photography customers, has contextual controls that *seem* to work well and it has a HDR, color accurate screen. 

 

SD card readers are a moot point - most photographers use external readers anyway since they're offloading SD Card, Micro SD Cards and CF Cards among other media types AND the readers tend to be USB 2.0, so it's almost always quicker to use an adapter.. Plugging the camera directly into the computer will/is also be a popular option, and there are a good amount of cameras that support offload by thunderbolt now. Most photographers and videographers I know use desktops and offload using external readers.

 

Not sure what magsafe is and it's 4AM here and I'm not going to watch some wannabe DJ play on a laptop, so I'm going to go to bed instead of researching that.

Magsafe is magnetic charging port.

 

There are third party magsafe usb C chargers if apples isn't (Griffin breaksafe)

Got DAMN that music was good!

SSD is BEAST also.

Too bad the lack of card reader and "normal" usb jacks.

 

I have an Macbook Air now so I´ll be getting a Macbook Pro 15, easy.

If it ain´t broke don't try to break it.
