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

[Traverse]

I want to know about SSD space... 2TB maybe? And I dreaming?

 

[yaxomoxay]

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

My thought. It COULD be a neat solution, although I think it will end up being confusing, but... meh. It's minor.

 

[maflynn]

It's not a replacement. It's an accompaniment. Use it if you want to. Don't if you'd rather not.

but its hard to hit the f keys when there's no tactile feedback (provided that you have them showing)

 

[sober2ndthought]

"English is passe. It's all about emoji now."

And a million adult souls who use their computers for professional applications cried out at once and were instantly silenced.

Next time you are typing up a 20 page report, you can impress your boss by adding emojois every time you try to save the document.

But the trackpad is closer to my fingers than this touch bar, so how is it easier?

 

[dan9700]

Apple can do one im done, they have become a joke company im no longer an apple fan boy

 

[shyam09]

Craig and Phil double teaming it up there! 😀

Intense fingerwork 😛

 

[navier]

I'm kidding man, its bull**** 😛 it doesn't fix anything, because there wasn't a problem to fix...

What a relief... I was shocked someone could blindly affirm it's an step forward!

 

[George Dawes]

zzzzzzzzz

if this is the new apple , you can keep it

once eddie 'i haven't got a clue' cue started squawking like a chicken and clapping like a drooling retard i could see the writing was on the e-wall

total non event

bring back scott forstall please , apple are now utterly BORING

 

[syphern]

lol that was female version of mayweather!

 

[jdillings]

The Touch Bar will require you to be courageous. Are you up to the challenge?

 

[H2SO4]

Mac Pro! Mac Pro! Mac Pro! Mac Pro! Come on guys - altogether now Mac Pro! Mac Pro!

 

[drewyboy]

I have no problem with emoji support in the Touchbar. However I do have a problem with them spending time in the Keynote showing it off. It's a PRO machine for pity's sake. Good christ.

It's a PRO because you CAN use emoji now.

 

[jeff7117]

If this is the best they have to offer, Apple is screwed.

 

[guzhogi]

I wonder how you force quit with Command-Option-Esc if the Esc is hidden and can't get back to it?

 

[amegicfox]

the touch bar should have been placed below the display or made part of the display itself that should have been TOUCH.

who wants to bend their head down to look at it ?

apple is a disaster

 

[Traverse]

😱 67% higher contrast...nice!

 

[pat500000]

"Siri, how do I move forward...?"
"Touch me and i'll show you!"

 

[BoxerGT2.5]

Porn is the number one thing the world uses their computers for, no one is sharing their computers to make fast user switching necessary.

 

[32828870]

No "Magic Touchbar Keyboard", no new iMac's, Mac Pro's, displays...

 

[Since1987]

"Enroll your finger". I got a finger you can enroll Craig !!! Take your smarmy crap to the Laugh Shack

 

[wallysb01]

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

Its compromise to not having a touch screen and making keyboard short cuts more readily accessible to those not willing to learn them. I'm not thrilled about it, but honestly, I hardly use the function bar area anyway, so what ever.

 

[rwilliams]

Most people don't look at their keyboard very much when they're typing/working. This is adding something that changes our behavior. A touch screen would have been a better idea.

 

[jdillings]

"Best Mac display ever" I beginning to think they use the same script every year.

 

[frifra]

They should have put an oled display in the track pad.
