Speaker grilles on new MBPs are "cosmetic"

Can Apple sink any lower?

only low enough to still be the top selling laptop

applebots will defend this

The only high-point from the new MBP design.

They made the logic board look like titties to fit in the fans more tightly into a slimmer chassis.

You could not have drinks around your 3000 dollar Facebook machine you fucking inbred

>top selling laptop

>only three models
>macfags have been starved of real upgrade since Retina first came out in 2012

How could they not be the best selling models when 1) pent-up demand from macfags and 2) Dell, HP, and Lenovo have like 30 models each, dividing up sales.

i still dont believe its the best selling laptop even by model. think about how many latitudes and thinkpads they sell to big corporate and government clients

Thinkpads get broken down into T460, T560, T460s, X1, X260, P50, P50s, etc.

Latitudes have 3000, 5000 12'', 5000 14'', 5000 15'', 7000 13'', 7000 15'', 3000 (2016), etc.

Apple just has MBP gimped 13'', MBP 13'', and MBP 15''.

>increasing chance of motherboard getting wrecked from water spill
jesus christ, have you even seen how tiny the holes are? water can't get in on normal pressure.

OP as always is a fucking faggot.

>he thinks his little chart is correct

lol nope, new macbook pros have already outsold every other laptop released this year

nice try tho

yeah man those dells and lenovos are selling like hotcakes to the college crowd

those stodgy old IT suppliers are dying to get those cool new dell latitudes brah

>one port occupied if charging
It seems like you don't understand how USB C works.

It looks like those mustaches hipsters tattoo on their fingers.

>no source
>nice try tho

It looks like those titties mustaches tattoo on their hipster

>"i have never worked in a real company and i have never been to an STEM campus"

Dude shill, everything's okay macbooks are cool and you are totally rich because you have one.

I see a lot of Macs in STEM.

>the college crowd
have to be 18 to post here man

>i know fuck all about physics

this is the kind of shit you would expect from budget knock offs
apple just keked themselves

It's technically top-selling because Apple only has 10 different models while HP has that many models just for the business market.

>We sell the most of our one model, so that makes us the best than other brands that have tens of different models to suit different users

running windows are they?

The non-speaker grille holes actually dents and don't go all through. Won't let water trough either way like explain.

The soldered SSD and RAM are shit though, if idiots manage to damage the motherboard it requires desoldering to get their data back

Both of these seem correct, Apple only releases like 2 models every so many years whereas HP releases like 10 models every month.

Louis did a video about the new macbook, the SSD wasn't soldered

The ones with physical function keys don't have SSD soldered, but has new custom connector.

The ones with OLED Touch Bar has SSD soldered onto the motherboard.

What are the chips in orange and yellow? If they have high heat output the speaker grills might function as little heat sinks

its proprietary though

Orange: Intel Thunberbolt controllers
Yellow: SSD

>tens of different models to suit different users
>each SSD/RAM configuration has it's own model
>requires you to sift through tons of models with specs you don't want instead of just configurating a good base model

underrated post

Companies buy HP and Lelnovo laptops in bulk for their employees.
Considering that the business market is 99% dominated by Microsoft, 10% total marketshare is still pretty good.

Only the 15 is soldered.

Oh my fuck

Best sounding, best looking, and all around best laptop I've ever owned. Stay mad poorfags.

>mactoddler bragging about an overheating throttling toddler toy

>There are two parts to the speaker. The tweeter sits under the bottom part of the grille and that portion definitely has the grille passing though. The woofer part sits below it and the grill. You can clearly see the perforated part of the grille in this image and where the tweeter goes in this image.
>The speaker grille is only partially cosmetic. A portion of it is used for the high frequencies. The rest of it is cosmetic for symmetry.

I'm also using the laptop right now, covering up the grilles dampens the sound, clearly debunking the "cosmetic" claim. Oh, Sup Forums is circlejerking about misinformation and something it knows nothing about again. What a surprise.

There is no escale for Apple

>keeping your data local in 2016
>owning a mac and not performing time machine backups

what are you some video game playing kid?

>Considering that the business market is 99% dominated by Microsoft
That's not been true for a while.

LOL, i'll be not a poorfag and enjoying my Surface Book while you justify your Playskool laptop. I bet you purchased your car based on how shiny it was too.

dont undock it you might burn your hands

>post screenshot with the low end specs
nice shitpost

>t. mactoddler with 3rd degree burns

>super serious 3d rendering
>on a laptop
nice meme

>buy "high end" """""pro"""" laptop with top of the line CPU
>b-b-b-but don't use it like that!!!111

Literally a fruity toddler toy good for nothing but updating facebook.

The Dell Precision Mobile Workstation doesn't have this problem.

>touchpad as big as the whole keyboard
Am I the only one who think it looks like shit?

It doesn't bother me. Apple has without a doubt the best touchpads on the market, so a bigger one isn't really an issue. Rumors are they're making it larger to move toward allowing Apple pencils to be able to draw on it which would be cool.

Yeah, i too love how their touchpads have no buttons and are unusable even on the highest speed setting

No, I think it's great. Palm rejection is excellent so that isn't a problem.

>best touchpads

my thinkpad W520 does not have any throttling

>needing buttons
it's called one finger and two finger and three finger clicks. You can program hundreds of gestures into their trackpads, enjoy your fucking buttons from 1989 caveman

>t. mactoddler that still cant wrap his tiny rat brain around any device with more than one button

>not having one hand resting on the button and the other moving the mouse
Fucking plebs, I bet you can't even use circular scrolling

Its probably made for cooling but apple is shit anyway

no it isn't made for cooling, it's made for the fucking speaker. The article is retarded and you're all bitching about something that isn't even true.

>t. mactoddler

>Sup Forums btfo
>m-mactoddler!

like clockwork, I love it

>it's made for the fucking speaker.
>doesn't line up with the speaker at all

Christ Apple is a fucking joke.

The smaller component is the tweeter, it sits directly under the grille, the length of the grille is used to broadcast the higher frequencies. Stop being dumb.

>t. mactoddler

kill yourself

>"PRO" model macbook
>has only a dual core ultrabook cpu and integrated graphics
>$2000
Literally made for retards.

>t. mactoddler

or you know

adults and not gaymers

>what is surface tension

>fruity toddler toy brand
>for adults

Good joke.

Guys help I bought a new mbp and my touch bar doesn't turn on at all.

What do i do

Just press the Esc key. :^)

I think it looks strange that there is so much free space to the left and right side of the trackpad.

I could be wrong since I'm not an expert.

>t. mactoddler

lol

Because water on your laptop usually just casually rolls onto the surface as gently as can be.

Know what would easily force some water through those holes? Oh idk, maybe a raindrop hitting with some velocity or a drink being spilled from any height onto the laptop?

...

This is now a tech tattoo thread

>t. assblasted mactoddler

Thank God, I was worried Mactoddler poster wouldn't be around today. There's something strangely uplifting about such desperate psychopathy.

>mactoddler calling others poorfags

I'm not calling anyone a poorfag you dipshit, but I find it especially ironic that someone with a low-end MacBook would call other people poor.

>t. mactoddler

I love how buttblasted you get about Apple. It's incredible desu.

>MacBook owner thinks he's not a poorfag

Will this go down as the best laptop ever created?

The model before with ethernet was better
