May flights of angels wing thee to thy rest...

I still can't believe they did this, God that little thing was one of the best thing about MacBooks. They literally had the best power inputs of any laptop by far. They got too much fucking 'courage' and axed it.

The trade off is USB type-C and you can charge from any of the 4 ports instead of just a single port located on a single side.

You can also do passthrough and charge through the same connection you're connecting a monitor or any other peripherals through

But can I charge from all four ports at the same time?

Macbook Pro with optical drive also discontinued.

I imagine it would detect that and only draw the needed/safe power.

The reason I'm pissed is that there's nothing stopping them from having their fucking USB-C ports while also including MagSafe 2. The internals behind it and such are small enough to fit in that chassis easily. They just didn't fucking do it.

I guess? There are magnetic breakaway USB type C cables if that's all you care about. There is no need for another connector.

I don't care, that's a shit tradeoff.

How is it a tradeoff? It offers identical features, it's reversible, there are magnetic breakaway options, and it provides data connection for monitors, speakers, hard drives, networking devices, etc, as well as power delivery.

Those pieces of shit are not and never will be as good as MagSafe. There's no need for all of the connectors on the laptop to be the same. USB-C connector is fine for TB3, since it's smaller and reversible unlike the Mini-DP connector. MagSafe should have stayed.

Did they ax the card reader too?

What is that even used for

>Those pieces of shit are not and never will be as good as MagSafe
I can almost guarantee you've not tried a USB type C cable with magnetic breakaway.

NEVER FORGET

>buy extra shit to replace a feature the laptop already had
holy shit, kill yourself.

You don't have to buy it if you don't want it.

If magnetic breakaway is so fucking important to your lifestyle that THIS is what makes or breaks the laptop for you, you have no hope of survival on this planet.

indeed, rip. one of thier nicest technology.

They axed the SD card slot AND HDMI.

>they're unironically killing the only good thing they ever originally invented
morons.

USB type-C supports HDMI and Displayport. Hell pretty sure it supports VGA too.

I'm ok with HDMI being axed, but the SD card slot? That's some bullshit.

What professionals want a thinner laptop with reduced connectivity and no real performance? They need to take a note from that HP Zbook.

Always missed.
Never forgotten.

WHAT IS IT WITH THE FUCKING APPLE THREADS FUCK OFF YOU FUCKING FUCKERS HOLY FUCK LIKE 10 OF THEM ABOUT SOME STUPID NOTEBOOK

If you can't see that the magnetic USB-C breakaway cables you mentioned are far inferior to the original magsafe cable I don't even know how you function in society. How are you actually going to say it's as good as magsafe?

how can you be this deluded? kill yourself.

But you had it included in the previous models, and now if you want it back, you pay extra and considering the competition for good laptops at this price bracket it's pretty ridiculous to think people should. I see apple's profits dropping again for at least the next year.

On the bright side, Apple will stop patent-trolling the "magnetic power connector" patent r-right? That means we'll start seeing magsafe on other laptops instead of those ancient barrel plugs.

kek, butt mad autists.

Doubt you'd have been able to afford one of these anyway.

If a $20 cable is what is the deciding factor for you on a $2400 laptop, i'm willing to bet that isn't your primary issue with the laptop.

I never really cared about MagSafe and now you can use whatever cable you want to instead of Apple's notoriously prone to fraying cables

>Doubt you'd have been able to afford one of these anyway.
Doubt away. Not my problem you see these laptops as a status symbol because you're so poor.

If they ever refresh the Mac Pro imagine how shit it'll be.

Good thing about it is that I have no more reason to be jelly of macfags.

MagSafe was really a nice thing, emphasis on "was".

They do have headphone port. All others are correct.

I'd honestly be impressed if Apple made something worse than this.

sssh. ;)


wait, the smalles touchbar-macbook is 13" 8gib ram (lol) 256ssd (LOL) at 1800 bucks(LOLLERCOASTER!!1)?

Holy fuck.

Sure but plugging a video connector straight to your laptop is much more convenient tha buying an adapter and carrying it around.

>Apple has launched the first new version of its MacBook Pro laptop in 18 months with a new OLED touchscreen on the keyboard capable of inserting emoji into text.
>The new laptop does not come with the SD card reader, HDMI port, the two Thunderbolt ports that doubled as a mini DisplayPorts, or the two USB-A ports that the last model did, so will require adapters to use existing accessories. It also lacks the MagSafe power adapter, instead relying on USB-C. It does have a 3.5mm headphone socket, however.

Apple what the fuck are you guys doing? It's like you're deliberately trying to send your brand into the gutter now you got enough money to not need to worry about things any more. All this pandering to the "meme generation" with emoji keyboards and hundreds of dongles for "muh thinness" is making you look like tryhard microsoft trying to be cool and hip when they talk about minecraft.

Surface line has magnetic power cables and they're pretty nice. It's just shitty plastic Dell and HP laptops for $200 that still use shitty barrel plugs and that's because they're cheap as dirt and pretty durable.

It's not that bad. It's the tiniest workstation ever made, so if you care about that it's great. Other than that, it's a mistake. Should have just kept the old Mac Pro and put the Sandy/Ivy Bridge-EP in it.

>buying an adapter
Just use a native cable....

>thinking that being fine with having to pay extra $24 in order to get basic functionality from a $2400 device is a sign of wealth

Did you steal mommy's credit card again jimmy?

>mfw

Is the Saint-Steve-RDF finally imploding?

MagSafe is still a nice thing. Good thing I bought an MBP before they fucked it up.

If I can get an HP ZBook with factory Linux support and the magnetic connector or a Dell Precision notebook, they'll be my next laptops.

I didn't know that these existed, thanks user. However regular video cables are much more common than these. I just don't get why they are pushing the "just buy more uncommon stuff to be able tk get basic functionality from an already overpriced device" this hard.

>tfw VGA, Ethernet and 2 audio jacks are he reason why I didn't drop my 5-year old netbook

Tales will be told, chants will be sung.

If you have a USB type-c capable monitor you can plug the macbook into the monitor, then your peripherals into the monitor (the announced LG 5k monitor has 3 USB type-C port)

That way you can plug an adapter for VGA into the back of the monitor for your VGA display, another USB type-C port can be used for an ethernet adapter.

That way you can have a desktop setup, plug your macbook into a single USB type-C cable connected to the main monitor, and it will all just work as if it were plugged into a docking station.


If you have the $ to spend, you can get a much more seemless setup using USB type-C. It just costs a decent bit right now because all USB type-C devices are basically brand new products within the last year.

>tfw using a 2670qm laptop with 16GB of RAM + 256GB SSD

>it just werkz

What is the best macbook pro to buy then, if this 2016-2017 lineup is complete garbage? Which macbook had all the proper ports while still having modern specs?

>MacBook Pro
>Pro
>PRO
>Emoji keyboard

tfw it's a thinkpad

>have to briefly stop what you're doing to look fucking down at your keyboard to use a shortcut
>not just clicking on it
>this is a feature

Real Pros communicate only through emojis to optimize time.

True courage.

a n53sm actually

>tfw it has a shit keyboard

close but no cigar

>tfw been born just in time to witness the Second Downfall of Apple Inc.

>Downfall
It's like they know their audience pretty much

It doesn't bother me really. The cooling is good btw.

It will come back in 2017, trust me.

They really don't.

>iPhone 7 ships with Lightning-to-USB-A-cable
>MBP Late 2016 has only USB-C-connectors

>1 year warranty
So it's a piece of shit

>all the jokes about minijack and people asking what feature will they take away next

>they actually do just that

THE ABSOLUTE

You're looking at one side of the machine you fucking cretin. Its on the right side.

None of my display devices support USB type C. I am guessing that's their motivation: make you buy more over-priced apple crap.

All of your display devices support a connector that is natively supported by USB type C however.

HDMI, Displayport, VGA.

Why did Jobs have to die?

OH SHIT THEY DIDN'T

>Why did Jobs have to die?

Cause he was a hippie

But now everyone loves emojis, isn't it?

you bet they did.

I bought a i7 laptop with a 128GB SSD and 4 GB RAM on sale and got 16GB RAM and 512GB RAM before I turned it on. That's fine for a $200 laptop but .. paying 1800 for something you would want to/have to upgrade right away?

The dealbreaker for me is the keyboard. Tried one on a MacBook in an Apple store and fuck it was disgusting.

I have a rMBP from 2015 now, and I love it, but it's the last Apple product I'll buy. A shame because the other side's offerings are all utter shit too.

The ultimate Facebook machine, oh god.

>The dealbreaker for me is the keyboard.
Its a brand new keyboard, and they werent available in store until this afternoon for you to try it out, so you're talking about the old keyboard.

Shamelessly stolen from MacRumors. THose guys are on suicide watch now, lyl

the previous usb-c macbook had the butterfly-keyboard already.

Never owned a Macbook before. Is Magsafe good? It looks like it can snap out with light pressure.

Its not the same keyboard, watch the damn Jony Ive softcore porn promo.

First question that came to mind when seeing the touchbar was

Why not make the screen a touchscreen and sometimes use the bottom of it for that crap?

The butterfly-keyboard released in 2015 is NOT the butterfly-gen2 in the macbook pro.

>It looks like it can snap out with light pressure.
That's really the point, so if you trip over the cable, you don't pull the MB to the ground.

I thought the whole point of the MacBook Pro vs the Air or original MacBook was to be professional oriented?

Why would the 'professional' consumer buy this pile of shit now instead of switching over to one of the several other workstation oriented laptops?

I was all hyped about the new MBP before I saw the leaked image of the gimmicky touchpad...

Can't wait to see what they do with the next Mac Pro...

Pretty good, saved my laptop many a time in meetings when someone has tripped over the pile of cables.

Doubt I will be swapping my 2014 MacBook Pro now, probably get HP Elitebook or Dell XPS next.

That is the point. It comes out with a sharp tug so people can't trip over your laptop charger and pull your laptop onto the floor. It's also really easy to connect since you can just put it near the port and it'll snap in.

rather make a laptop that can take a fall to the ground tbqhf family

Kek where the fuck am I supposed to plug my USB stick in

>Why would the 'professional' consumer buy this pile of shit now instead of switching over to one of the several other workstation oriented laptops?
They won't. I was hoping this thing would have:
Better cooling
Xeons
Quadro/FirePro
ECC RAM
USB Type C TB3 ports
in an attractive package. It's not that. And Mac OS is getting worse every release. Apple lost me as a customer with this.

You're not. It's 2016.

Read your post, you suggest a mess of adapters to solve issues that should not be there in the first place.

any of the four USB ports?

>"Pro"
>literally turned into a basic facebook machine

This is so cringeworthy. Any sucker that buys these should be publicly shamed.

I'd rather not have my laptop fall to the ground, whether it will survive or not.

I suggested two adapters permanently fixed BEHIND the primary monitor in order to turn a desktop space into a single USB type-C dock.
