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

[Barrierfreeman]

I have to be in iTunes to control iTunes? Did they even think that sentence through? I can control whatever is playing right now using my function bar, no app switching needed!

That's a pertinent question. Can you use the touchpad to control out of focus apps like media players.

Microsoft's presentation was much more interesting. Apple shows off really useless TV app, while Microsoft shows off a giant upcoming update to the OS making it 3D friendly.

Who is this team they keep referring to?

 

[greenmeanie]

Radeon no thanks Apple.

 

[darkandlong]

Where are the whoops coming from? I don't see anyone whooping. It's like canned laughter on an 80s comedy.

 

[jdillings]

All new speaker design

 

[DevNull0]

Those really are nice specs. Too bad about the keyboard and ports.

 

[yaxomoxay]

If it was he wouldn't be tripping all over his words so badly right now lol

They're tired. The board of directors probably forced all of them to an all-nighter watching the Surface Studio presentation in continuous loop.

 

[pjarvi]

Looks like the new SurfaceBook thermal design, Apple stealing from Microsoft again.

 

[duervo]

Larger SSD .. not surprising. That was expected.

Larger RAM capacity is probably a given as well.

 

[sofila]

Was that from a movie? If so...what was it?

Sam Raimi's "Army of the darkness" 1992. A must if you're in the genre. Even if you're not

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.

Apple wants people to slow down their typing apparently. Sorta like the original invention of the QWERTY keyboard to stop typewriter jams.

 

[Barrierfreeman]

To think I took the piss out of Window's presentation. Holo lens vs TV app...

 

[Kobayagi]

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

Hahaa well a hardcore Apple fan will

 

[nfl46]

2TB!!!! And 3GB read and write!?

YEEEES!

Lol, I said the same thing!

 

[jdillings]

13 inch only has Intel Iris graphics

 

[pat500000]

Phil's new term "It flys"

 

[Stella]

dGPU looks good.. but the price? :shudder:

Oh wow, no integrated graphics for the 15"!!

 

[peterdevries]

Being smaller is not an innovation.

You don't understand how innovation works.

 

[djcgeez2189]

Saw radeon pro graphics and shutoff.. rip apple for the price there are 2-3x more powerful than this for less

 

[DonutHands]

Such BS. why cant we have a dedicated GPU in a 13" laptop, no 2 TB option either?

 

[syphern]

intel iris eff off man ruined the device

 

[Geordiekeith]

I think the two guys they took off working on the iPhone to update the MacBook were short on ideas...

 

[maflynn]

13 inch only has Intel Iris graphics

Yep, not surprising but I was hoping for dGPU

 

[compute]

Am i the only one who thinks this touch bar looks kind of corny? Also not a big fan on the Iphone like functions - using fingerprint to open the computer...etc. The way i see it, the more crap they integrate the bigger the chance the computer is not going to work the way it should...name me one Apple product released in the last years that just worked the way it should...there's always something not working....i had it with my Iphone, had problems with the old mac pro i owned...had problems with the new mac pro i bought...actually they had it replaced two times because it simply did not work the way as advertised....i'm guessing this is going to be a complete disaster in terms of quality.

And whats with the clapping fan club....looks like a sect of some sort

 

[scottish]

They really need to ditch the "best ever" nonsense.
