The lack of escape key could cause me major issues in some windows apps..... will see how it goes.
Okay but that's Microsoft's eventCancel tomorrow's event. We've seen it all.
Agreed. This photo is not blurry enough. Get this fake off the MR front page.I only accept product leak photos that have been clearly taken in a lift, not buried deep in a build of the operating system!
No jack on the macbook either? How am I going to connect my studio speakers and sound equipment now? Do I have to buy yet again more adapters? ffs.
I imagine the fact that there's a touch screen where the Esc key used to be. Just maybe.
What makes you think the Esc key is even going away?
People will get used to it, in time. Not before too long, many users will understand it as the new keyboard standard. In the long run, this is not a major issue.Cool.
- @ just noticed the butterfly keyboard. Good luck pro-folks with not being able to type normally.
I need to have multiple out and in. Some is already over usb. usb-c would certainly help, but also means yet another one.The article quite clearly states that the MBP will have a headphone jack.
Do you really rely on the onboard sound for studio output though? You would get much better quality audio using an external interface with balanced outputs to your monitors rather than using the unbalanced 3.5mm jack on the MBP.
This is where we find out that every game and app where we use the [esc] key now needs to be updated to support the 'new way to escape' ..
Did you look at the images from this macrumor?
esc is easier
Magic Toolbar is awful. So now if I want to change volume/screen brightness it will probably be easier just to use System Preferences instead of trying to switch to the right program (Finder?) to bring to front so that the "magic toolbar" displays desired controls. Hopefully it doesn't get burn-in too fast either. Remember, people don't swap computers every year. Well, at least they didn't make the entire keyboard awful... oh wait.
It's a shame that (unlike the existing rMBP) Apple have decided to slap "Macbook Pro" branding at the bottom of the screen. I always though the lack of in your face branding while using the machine was pretty classy.
It's so beautiful.
