Live Coverage of Apple's 'Hello Again' Mac Event

I type 80 WPM, I need the physical depth of travel. I am not bashing my fingers into a sheet of metal all day.

This obsession on thinness at Apple is a sickness.

Everyone types 80wpm these days. I've never tried one of the new butterfly keys. I'll try one in store before I buy.

[neander]

Thats nice.. customize easily

 

[Traverse]

Ooh, fast user switch....iOS perhaps!?

 

[RightMACatU]

Enough with the smoke and mirrors... What about CPU/RAM/SSd/Graphics??? Price?

Touchbar is so underwhelming - it just reproduces controls that are already on-screen.

If this was one feature out of many, then I'd say its a great addition, as the major feature, I find its underwhelming

Thank you craig...it's 10:48am...please leave.

I hope it pisses it down on them all while they are sat in their copper pyramids

Touch ID uses fast user switch if someone else uses it

 

[iThingsGurl]

How about having the Dock on the Touch Bar so that it doesn't jump up every time I go even near the bottom edge?

 

[BeefCake 15]

That's awesome!!! (fast user switch) opens up to a lot more uses in the future

Phil really looks like he's dressed to be begging for money on a highway ramp somewhere.

 

[shyam09]

Fantastic Fingerwork ... woah 18+

 

[pjarvi]

You all share your MacBook Pro's with other people right?

 

[Icaras]

Craig and Phil double teaming it up there!

Because you have it to change to alternate keys. You won't have to anymore.

As an example of why this is a problem, in any programming IDE I know that F8 is "step over" when I'm debugging, because it's been standardized that way forever.


Now it's.... some custom thing???

 

[Barrierfreeman]

It's a no from me. Sticking with my 2015 rMBP 13 for another year.

 

[Geordiekeith]

How many people share their laptop? A family desktop, sure? But a laptop?

 

[macduke]

Craig is the best, lol.

 

[mrxak]

Because you have it to change to alternate keys. You won't have to anymore.

Uh, actually no, I will still need those function keys.

 

[dashwin]

I WANT IT, Apple's execution of TouchBar is awesome. I love it. I want it.

 

[syphern]

new iphone confirmed to have touch id integrated into the screen! OLED screen too!

 

[BMcCoy]

WHY don't we have 'fast user switch' on the iPad?????????

 

[scottish]

I thought I was a cynical person but I'm not sure anymore reading through this thread..

 

[Barrierfreeman]

Not seeing how touch bar is really any better than keyboard, trackpad, gestures, keyboard shortcuts ??

It's not.
