"Sensel, is trying to take Apple's force touce idea a few steps further. It's launching a Kickstarter campaign today for what's essentially a giant version of the MacBook's Force Touch trackpad. But what makes it even more interesting is that Sensel's trackpad doesn't have to look like a flat slab — it can also transform into other input devices."

I like this. Now you don't have to have 12,000 different devices that do different things. It would just be one device for a mixer, drawing tablet, DJ table, piano (although it's only 1 octave), or anything else.

Nope, the kickstarter says the will go as far to support linux and the arduino (though the arduino is more for development purposes)

this is one of the greatest thing that has happened to me recently, and it happened on this forum, those involved have my eternal gratitude http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/198850-update-alex-got-his-moto-g2-lets-get-a-moto-g-for-alexgoeshigh-unofficial/ :')

i use to have the second best link in the world here, but it died ;_; its a 404 now but it will always be here

Fully maxed out early 2017 Dell XPS 15, GTX 1050 4GB, 7700HQ, 1TB nvme SSD, 32GB RAM, 4k display. 97Whr battery :x 
Dell was having a $600 off sale for the fully specced out model, so I decided to get it :P

 

-Crapbook

Fully specced out early 2013 Macbook "pro" with gt 650m and constant 105c temperature on the CPU (GPU is 80-90C) when doing anything intensive...

A 2013 laptop with a regular sized battery still has better battery life than a 2017 laptop with a massive battery! I think this is a testament to apple's ability at making laptops, or maybe how little CPU technology has improved even 4+ years later (at least, until the recent introduction of 15W 4 core CPUs). Anyway, I'm never going to get a 35W CPU laptop again unless battery technology becomes ~5x better than as it is in 2018.

Apple knows how to make proper consumer-grade laptops (they don't know how to make pro laptops though). I guess this mostly software power efficiency related, but getting a mac makes perfect sense if you want a portable/powerful laptop that can do anything you want it to with great battery life.

force touch worked fine for a trackpad but i would hate it for a keyboard. As it stands i find the macbook keyboard really uncomfortable to type on due to the low travel and having no travel at all would not be a fun or in my opinion accurate experience.

Desktop -  i5 4670k, GTX 770, Maximums VI Hero, 2X Kingston Hyper X 3k in raid zero.

Laptop - Lenovo X230 Intel 535 480GB, 16GB Gskill memory, Classic Keyboard Mod, Triple USB 3.0 Express Card.

I like this idea, hopefully it will get some traction and not end up costing a bomb.
