Live Coverage of Apple's October 2018 iPad and Mac Event

The Mac Mini is waaay better than the Macbook Air. Way better.

Inertia, of course. But it’s clear Apple is pushing USB-C and Thunderbolt. Third party adapters are cheap and plentiful now.

I carry 4 adapters for my work Mac book pro - this is not a positive .

Well done on the ports though!

This guy has an annoying way of speaking with his dramatic pauses. Keeps saying "wait for it" "Here it comes!" "Get this" "Believe it or not....(dramatic pause)"

Waiting for people to go nuts over the Mac mini announcement.... riot on MacRumors... here we go

They probably will do when they announce how much it's going to cost.

I'll stick with my 2014-era Macbook Air. The new one is just disappointing from a legacy port standpoint. I'm sure it's leagues faster, but meh.

 

[Val-kyrie]

But did Apple solder in the SSD?

Ports!!!!

I'm going to put it out there, they may just pull out a new wireless keyboard with TouchID in it....

Like Joanna Stern says, where was this product 4 years ago? And something called the Air is heavier than its brother the MacBook.

And the woman doing this video sounds like a robot, they should leave the videos to Jony.

Thought it was Siri’s little sister.

"Four... count them, four..." LOL

 

[Dorje Sylas]

looks the same! lol

Its a good design, why change what is proven to work? This is the problem with some people, you don't have to have constantly new designs if the design works for the function.

I saw some old Apple Cinema Displays for a second

 

[xalea]

They stack....

 

[ChrisChaval]

Expandable memory , nice !

 

[clangers23]

1199...

honestly... until I do some good old fashioned spreadsheeting, This doesn't seem like all that unreasonable of an update.

it's one of the only times you might hear me say that an increase in price matches the increase in updates to a machine. a high res screen does cost more than a lower res one. plus the addition on TouchID is new to the Air lineup. both of these as an update from the old air is not bad for $1200.

the problem will lie in what's the purpose of the MacBook then. especially at $1350...

i'd be bitching about that price if they were still using a < 1080p display while raising the price. But at least here, there's a tangible increase in technology for once

It's expensive for basically the same spec as the 2013 with an updated CPU and retina display, which the MBA should have had 5 years ago.

"SO-DIMMs, so memory is expandable". I hope it is really true.

 

[citysnaps]

10 gig ethernet! Awesome!

 

[harriska2]

[max.ine]

[SJ Burnett]

[ondert]

I might sell my iMac for this Mini!

It's Space Gray now.

 

[xalea]
