Apple Unveils macOS 'Sierra' With New Continuity Features, Window Tabs, Apple Watch Login, Siri, and More

[cube]

No they aren't. But they're good at under the hood stuff, not shiny user features.

NeXT was usefully shiny

 

[Peace]

Haha RAID is back.

Thank you.

lol. here you are.

Apple wants to see your files .

I doubt that. Security and privacy are fundamental in the design …

lol. here you are.

Ugh.

So with all these new features, Apple has essentially said that Macs are just a glorified iOS accessory. Since I don't have an iPhone or an iPad, perhaps it's time to go back to Windows...

I'm not even gaming on my new PC.

Don't really know what that has to do with anything...

 

[cry]

They should re-think that mountain range icon. Stylize it, come up with a general macOS icon, or get rid of it.

Time to pony up the dough, young man!

Pshh, I'm keeping my 2008 MBP a couple more years. Wish an SSD in it, it's still plenty fast for anything except intense processing tasks. I like the features in this new version, but I'm fine skipping it for now.

I will hand it down unless I need it for work again.

There's no innovation anymore. Seriously there is NOTHING that jumps out at me that screams 'this is amazing'. Guess I stay on Mountain Lion for yet another year.

Not being a fanboy with the whole range of Apple trinkets there's not much here of interest to me.

I'm guessing the graphics chip - the 2009 MacBook has GeForce 320M, the 2009 MacBook Pro (which came out earlier in 2009) has GeForce 9400M, where the 2010 MacBook Pro has 320M.

Note that SOME 2009 MacBook Pros have better graphics, but they're still 9000-series. GPU cutoffs seem common to Apple. I'm disappointed that my 2008 Aluminum MacBook is left out (also has GeForce 9400M.)

All 2009 MacBooks have 9400M graphics. As well as the late 2008 Aluminum Unibody MacBook, 2009 13" MacBook Pro or late 2008 15" Unibody MacBook Pro (which has an additional 9600M GT).

No Mac was equipped with 3xxM series GPU until mid 2010.

As is, the range of models supported by Sierra just doesn't make any sense.

Complete and total nonsense.

"Siri, find porn".
"Again?!?"

 

[toddcharvey]

No mention on updated native apps (mail, calendar, Safari, etc) ???

 

[Candlelight]

Complete and total nonsense.

What, my post or Sierra? Cos if it's the latter I agree with you.

 

[juanmaroy]

It's really sad that the "most advanced OS in the world" ofers just this. They are good things but not worthy an annual release. Nothing that pro users can take advantage of. Just funny toys.

 

[T909]

to be fair, at coming up 9 years old, its had a good run. I'm yet to see a 3 year old PC laptop where the plastic keys haven't fallen off and doesn't need leaving plugged in all the time because the battery has died a death and the replacement ones cost more than the current value of the machine.

There are many great PC Laptops out there. Some of them have lasted for over 10 years. The most important thing is to stay away from HP and such manifactures.

So, we don't call this 10.12 right? This is just macOS 1...?

By early 90s standards, sure. If there's anybody still at Apple turning out cutting edge, exciting features, their work was kept secret today.

Your post. If you're still on Mountain Lion, you are short a ton of great features.
