Good, new innovations for other laptop makers to copy. Without Apple we'll still be having DVD-ROM drives and hard disks.

JUST COOK MY SHIT UP

>only 4 USB type-C ports and a headphone jack
Good to see someone pushing a modern standard. Although one mDP would be handy

But there were actual viable alternatives that were making those technologies obsolete. The vast majority of people and devices out there still rely on regular USB ports. It's not like everyone is already using USB type c devices and hubs and wondering why they even need the bigger USB ports anymore like we did with CDS and DVDs

> no HDMI
> no SD-reader
> USB-C only
Fuck, time to throw all my adapters to the trash.

$999 for 64GB version

Wait, no HDMI? Isn't plugging MacBooks into televisions and projectors a common use-case? Is there any alternative?

Or does USB C have some weird thing in its spec that makes it usable for projecting? Or does Apple want you to use Lightning Bolb?

Why is every sentence in my reply a question?

>Headphone jack

But how are they supposed to make it thinner?

When you can't innovate, imitate. :^)

thank God Lenovo got rid of the fucking thing.

people will simply counter this common sense question with: 'use a projector/tv with wireless projection capabilities'

Official Apple usb c to hdmi cable for $100

usually when they imitate they're able to make it a million times better than the original...

god, this caused so much shitstorm that even the chinks cancelled it

Why no miniDP?

No SD card slot no purchase.

What is the best laptop on the market right now anyway? Something useful for college would be nice.

Apple break, you buy.

home/end??
wtf? how do vim users get into normal mode without a caps lock and escape being so far away.

you might as well not use vim at this point

Everyone is already used to the fact that no mac can be ever plugged in directly and always needs an adapter that now they essentially follow this 100%.

Before we had dreams on mDP becoming the next standard and having mDP cables in our meeting rooms instead of HDMI that replaced VGA could become the norm, but now the hopes are gone. Whoever wants to present must have a big dongle.

Dropped ice cream always fills me with so much anxiety.

Please delete your post.

DELETE THIS
NOW

Who uses function keys anyways?

It's not going to be anything special. Just exactly what it needs to be

>iphone has no headphone jack
>macbook has headphone jack

>>function keys replaced
So macs have no function now?

It is and was never about the Apple Hardware nor their Software.
Their succes is and was always because good Marketing and the Apple Logo.
Apple will be finished when normie plebs stop believing that Apple is cool.

hehe

>Apple is successful bcuz good marketing and logo!

Technologically-illiterate dunce. Keep telling yourself this.

i like this user. i am going to use it a couple of weeks from now.

i use to have a laptop that had a touch sensitive function key bar, it was the most annoying shit imaginable
>watching youtube video
>go to type something in another window
>accidentally brush finger across F5 as i start to type
>refreshes youtube page and brings me back to start of video

That's not even real ice cream

It still hurts just as much, user. Please delete it.

>digitiser damaged
>can't turn on computer

ok sorry user :)

>only 4 USB type-C ports and a headphone jack
sales are going to drop. Of all things why the fuck would you drop Magsafe?

Thunderbolt is now capable of being banged into USB-C which allows you to just buy a cable I would bet that half the ports are this standard.

>post your face when you bought a rMBP before they went to shit

>now

>Technologically-illiterate dunce
>coming from a mactoddler

>butterfly keys

Those shallow things on the new Macbook? Literally why?

>before they went to shit

That would imply they were every anything other than shit.

...

You're complaining about having 4 USB ports? Sup Forums can't be this autistic.

>>post your face when you bought a rMBP

I've used the ports on my mbp a total of 3 times this year.
The majority of things are done thru the wifi or the cloud.
people want to cling to the past, apple knows how their products are being used. usb-c is the new standard get with the times.

2 rupees have been deposited in your shit eating hands Rajeesh.

>OLED touch strip to replace function keys
holyfuckingshit.lha

>mfw my 15" rMBP is the last great laptop Apple will ever make
>mfw my 17" DLSD PowerBook G4 (that I'm using to shitpost right now) is the best laptop design ever and will never be surpassed again

>800mhz facebook machine
>great laptop

>thermonuclear wmd
>best laptop design

lmao

I said
>17"
>Aluminium
>DLSD

You're thinking of the 15" Titanium PowerBooks, which were a shit design in comparison.

It's a 1.67GHz processor, fyi. And it's the most durable computer I've ever owned. I got it in late 2005 (when it was released) and it doesn't have a scratch or bend on it, and the keyboard on it is by far the best keyboard of any laptop. It's truly GOAT design.

>17"
>no numpad

Truly a facebooking machine.

Looks dated and shit.

>Wanting a numpad
Do you work as a fucking airport check-in assistant, D'Marcus? Who the fuck needs a numpad.

I disagree, I still think it looks lightyears ahead of any winshit laptop manufacturers design. It's been over 10 years and no company has even come close to this design. Also, remember back then when all winshit laptops were 2" thick black plastic pieces of shit. Actually, that hasn't changed, they're just thin, flimsy plastic pieces of shit now.

Modern display connections can make use of the Type C port. There no longer needs to be a dedicated display port.

I blame Ive's obsession with anorexic computers.

If you can charge from either side... ambidextrous charging would be quite nice.

Ive needs to go, he has no real innovative ideas.
cook is a numbers guy and lacks vision. people go to apple because the quality and build of machines were so far ahead of everyone else.

the mishaps and slips in quality just wasn't acceptable with gates.

It'd be nice if they can pull a new designer who has some genuinely exiting ideas. It'd be great if they experiment with ideas besides aluminium again, at least for their non-pro ranges.

I mean, i do like the whole "premium" aluminium thing, but it's not so premium any more now everyone can do it even on semi-budget machines. Polycarbons, Carbon Fiber, hell maybe even wood. Just Shake up computer design again.

>finished
For anybody with more than two brain cells to slap together, it never began.

>tfw won't have a polaris macbook now

>Who the fuck needs a numpad.
Spoken like a true mactoddler.

kek

Do you seriously use a numpad? If so, when was the last time? Give some real world use cases for the numpad. I'll wait.

You didn't answer the question faggot.

Typing this post. :^)

...

What are the function keys even for?

>numpad

I like to play oldschool FPS games sometimes, such as Marathon. The only sane way to play it is if you use the numpad.

>tfw you're browsing this thread feeling good with your last gen MBP until someone posts a webm

>ITT macfags seriously don't know what the fucking numpad is for

That actually makes sense, I suppose. Quite niche, though.

Unless you work in banking or a job that requires you to be inputting a lot long numbers, there's literally no advantage over the typical rowed number key layout. Plus, we're talking about laptops where real-estate is limited.

It's funny because Microsoft had an input method that was exactly like this years ago.

You just don't see it because that keyboard uses real keycaps.
microsoft.com/appliedsciences/content/projects/SideWinderX4.aspx

It's a keyboard that uses a resistive touchscreen (as seen on the Nintendo DS) instead of switches.

There are still "keycaps", but they are technically not switches.

Presumably the apple tech is following the same idea, but I don't know whether or not they're using keycaps.

Can't make this shit up, folks.

Oh, nevermind.

I thought they were replacing the whole damn keyboard with a segmented OLED touchscreen.

Yes, very niche. But otherwise life is perfectly fine without a numpad, and I don't miss it at all.

Plus, the Al PBG4 does have a numpad, it doesn't look like it'd be great to use, but it's there.

I've pretty much given up on apple laptops having acceptable performance & cooling, so nothing like this suprises me anymore.

Poo in the loo Rajeesh.

I use an embedded numpad like this on my X220 regularly. It's not so great, but you can get used to it.

>15 inch laptops
>Numpads on laptops

You people need to fucking stop

Get a fucking desktop

>macfags
>shitting in the street

You Pajeets need to fucking stop.

Poo in the fucking loo.

>everybody must no nothing of worth with their computers just like me

>doing anything of worth
>facebook machines
Did you expect otherwise?

4 usb-c is a good advancement in terms of adapting to new standards. also probably 2 of those ports are thunderbolt 3 (maybe all?). in any case, usb is a free standard and backward compatible, you can easily find 50 cents chink adapters to fit your needs

Opposed to all the geniuses on here who shell out thousands of dollars for a Sup Forums shitposting machine?

>Buying overpriced "performance" laptops instead of just using much cheaper desktops

t. "Smart" consumers

This. Also, the facebook kiddies have friends and go outside...

I use mine all the time whenever I need to write a number, which is almost every post

>that keyboard curvature
nigga, that looks sexy and comfy to type on.
why don't OEMs produce decent keyboards anymore?

I'm okay with the function key thing

I wish I had just one regular fucking USB slot, but I'll be okay. (As I mutter "fucking dongles")

But that butterfly keyboard, that thing is fucking shit.

I'm a mobile apps developer, so I kinda have to use a macbook.
Should I buy a macbook pro now or wait?

No one cares about your fart apps Pajeet.

They've already soiled the pro name with their trash can mac pro

and now they're soiling the macbook pro name

fucking eh man, no hdmi? no sd card? no usb?

I can understand them trying to push the new standard for usb. But hdmi isnt going anywhere

If i had to guess, this is their new macbooks, not pros. But its only cause deep down I don't want to believe it.

Apple left its professional market behind to push laptop-shaped ipads

And the worst part is, nobody elses quality even comes close so we have to accept the dick ramming :(

>And the worst part is, nobody elses quality even comes close so we have to accept the dick ramming :(

This desu senpai.

Nobody builds 800mhz throttling molten 20lb 2 minutes battery life facebook machines quite like applel.
