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

[amegicfox]

no magsafe, 10 hours instead of 12 hours battery life

apple keeps going backward

they add one features and remove two

 

[The Weatherman]

Give me new iMac or I'm out.

 

[melendezest]

I hope the 2TB drive is compatible with older MBPs.

I don't need this MagSafeless, dongle-hellish machine.

And no f'n 17".

I need a bigger screen to edit video/photos in the field, dammit!!

 

[mcdj]

Haptic feedback on the touch bar?

LADY!!! GET OFF THE STAGE>...WE NEED MAC PRO NEWS>

 

[oftheheavens]

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

i saw the rumor news but didn't watch the windows presentation. Everyone seems to be talking about it though, maybe I should give it a look.

 

[Traverse]

So far this is more pathetic than the keynote in which they spent half an hour speaking of environment.
If you use the "Hello." Slogan for a mac release you better deliver.

Not over yet. Impressive MacBook Pro, but I really want desktop love.

 

[magicschoolbus]

okay but really is anyone seriously going to be scrolling through this stuff on a keyboard? is the touch bar really going to be useful in real life?

I don't see this changing the way I work

As an eX pro video editor, I have always thought Final Cut Pro X was garbage, but having to edit, professionally with that TOUCHBAR, is single worst idea any human could ever think to do. I would love see someone under a deadline looking down at a little strip trying to move their pointer finger to a spot on the timeline.. Unreal...

 

[6836838]

Man, they're gonna charge a fortune for all the adapters and leads. Form over function. You've have thought they could have added a couple of USB ports!

 

[32828870]

The LG display announcement has us bewildered. There are new display prototypes that couldn't make it in time for this keynote but are most definitely due for release.

 

[BoxerGT2.5]

There could be pom-poms under that podium and a marching band in the back for her conclusion.

 

[Barrierfreeman]

Cursor is always going to be more accurate than using your finger.

It's a nice novelty, but selling is as a protool, is a reach.

 

[shyam09]

Wait, wait, wait. I can't connect an iOS device without a dongle???

They'll probably include one adapter

 

[TheCoolGuy]

It is a Touch Bar Event.

 

[TMRJIJ]

Hey I'm late, what's everyone been bitching about the most ?

• GPU
• Opening Filler before MBP
• People complaining about Touch Bar and saying that no pros will it (Maybe your usage is different from ours.)
• USB-C

 

[omenatarhuri]

The bar is retarded, I'm sorry but Steve was wrong. Bring on the touchscreen!

No other macs?

 

[arkitect]

So you have a 15" or 13" screen right in front of you, but instead you're squinting at a little strip above the keyboard all the time?

Perhaps I just don't get it.

Perhaps I really am just getting old.

 

[ppmpeme]

I think that Apple forgot that a magical device called mouse still exists. I guess the target group for Macbook Pro are no longer professionals but hypercool hipster millenials.

 

[oftheheavens]

I don't like how she has that pecking finger out, makes the touch bar look rather inconvenient.

 

[Traverse]

LADY!!! GET OFF THE STAGE>...WE NEED MAC PRO NEWS>

New Mac Pro with Touch Circle

 

[Nimrad]

I just tuned in. Is there any way to watch the keynote from the start now?

 

[syphern]

Wait, wait, wait. I can't connect an iOS device without a dongle???

nope its going to be £59.99 iphone connector!

 

[C. Cole]

What is the supported refresh rate on the external 5K displays?

 

[The Captain]

Yes, "Pros" want to use an inaccurate small touch slider to adjust volume on a clip, not enter the exact decibel number....
