Alleluia!USB-A ports and SD card readers, NAH. But THIS I can get behind.
The Surface Books are and always have been Magnesium (which is lighter than Aluminium) it’s probably heavy more because of its chunkier detachable design.Well, Microsoft used Titanium for years in their Surface Books, they are ridiculously heavy..
This but unironically. USB-A ports are ugly and antiquated. Just buy a $9.99 adapter and move onUSB-A ports and SD card readers, NAH. But THIS I can get behind.
Or stainless steel, like the DeLorean.Just use cold-rolled steal like the Cybertruck. That should do.
MacBook casings are not high gloss.So...you hate the gloss of all the MacBooks?
I have fingers, not suckers. The textured finish of fingers does not provide suction.Well that's not true - high gloss finishes are always grippy in the hand. Matte isn't as it doesn't stick to the hand - think sucker pads, they only grip to smooth gloss.
I concur, same issue.I’d imagine these would even more expensive. I don’t know how Apple’s supply chain works, but I believe the US government still gets first dibs on titanium procurement for national security purposes. That was the reason stated to me when I asked why a particular part of a scientific instrument was ridiculously expensive ($12k in 1999 dollars).
I was so sad when they got rid of it! I've actually come to appreciate that it doesn't glow now, just for working in the dark or trying to be a bit more subtle in client settings etc. But I still miss it.And bring back the glowing logo on the back, for crying out loud!
Agreed, everything's back to the future once more. Knowing they'll nail the case/design this time round & chuck a butterfly keyboard back in to ruin the user experience! ?Those old Titanium Powerbooks certainly didn’t wear well - the area on either side of the trackpad wore pretty badly over time, and eventually looked rather trashy. Apple would really need to get it exactly right if they decided to move forward with Round 2.
Don't worry, I'm sure TC could ask Craig to include an on/off switch in MacOS to dim the backlight, though I suspect it'll be a long time coming with TC at the helm as I reckon it was removed due to costs (both in manufacturing & for replacement top covers).I was so sad when they got rid of it!

IRC the TiBooks were painted which is why they didn't wear well.Those old Titanium Powerbooks certainly didn’t wear well - the area on either side of the trackpad wore pretty badly over time, and eventually looked rather trashy.

It was arguably THE most beautiful apple laptop every designed and shipped. Still my all time favourite in terms of design.The TiBook really was a beautiful computer and it had tiny bezels before other computers had tiny bezels.
