Or better. Add a special function key on the top row.
buy a new mac if you want one-press siri.
I generally use it for setting timers and alarms. Also reading and dictating text messages while driving, but that's pretty hit or miss.
Siri on the Apple TV however is a big help if you want to search for something or type something, huge pain with the remote alone.
Otherwise it doesn't get much use, just doesn't understand what I'm saying when using more complex words or phrases so it's easier to type than repeat the question 3 times.
Offline Siri would be great. the fitness chain I exercise at decided to use thick stone hangar type buildings . It pains me to try to use Siri or Apple Music there as I usually don't have signal inside.

Why do you want to touch your notebook screen? Why do you want to lean over the desk and keep your arm extended? That's uncomfortable and useless. I'd only want that if the notebook were also convertible. But I'd rather have a trackpad with a display and Apple Pencil compatibility, or just the ability to use an iPhone or iPad Pro (with the Pencil) as a drawing input device on the Mac. I think those are specialized uses anyway.
[doublepost=1463621042][/doublepost]I'm curious if they've solved the problem of having multiple devices respond to "Hey, Siri." Sometimes my iPhone has responded along with my Watch (before I turned it off on my iPhone). The devices need to be able to communicate, so I can say "Hey, Siri" to my Watch, for example, without having other devices listen, but to also be able to say something like "play MGMT on my Mac (on my AirPlay speakers)" and have Siri follow that.
I use Siri alot now, and to be fair it has improved amazingly since the first release. Yes, it should have been on Macs a LONG time ago. Also where is the third party support? A couple of new questions each year vs. what the developer community could do doesn't really cut it. I am Australian, I don't really care how tall the captain of the best team in American "Hand egg" is. All I would like is better Siri integration that if I am driving and I ask sirir a question ( or a failed one) it doesn't sit on the Siri interface till the end of time, rather than going back to my previous task.
Also better graphics cars Apple, not 3-4 year old ones in new macs.

How about "Hey, Jony"
[doublepost=1463617392][/doublepost]
Hence it says "... connect to the internet", at the end

It's like a vegetarian going to a steak house and complaining they only sell beef based food
"Hey Jony, open Safari"

"We have always thought about design as being so much more than just the way something looks. It's the whole thing: the way something works on so many different levels. Ultimately, of course, design defines so much of our experience, take this Hey Jony button we designed it from the ground up in an intuitive way."

Yeah!
Release a new mouse with integrated microphone and call it the "Scotty Mouse" !
Technically, there's no Siri icon on iOS. A microphone doesn't make sense for siri since it could be used for many applications... the waveform makes much more sense... and, it's gorgeous.
I really dont care about siri or apple watch... Please focus on something else, for example the pro apps?!
Nope, it doesn't need a touchscreen.

Make Siri better that should be higher priority instead of porting it to other OS's .. Instead, let's spread less-than-mediocre across the whole line. PC makers have their bloat ware, Apple has this I guess
Actually, the more Siri is used across platforms- the more likely it is to get the attention it needs.

Or, more likely, that someone else did.

Then it's good that you don't put your computer in your pocket... /s
In other related news, it has come to light that cleaning - and generally taking care of - your smartphone and other belongings, has the general benefit of prolonging the items' functional lifetime, as well as keeping it closer to full function for longer, in comparison to treating it like a loaf of bread...

You really think Apple would hold it back because a relatively small user base (Mac users) would gain the ability to use it? You do understand that iOS users (with Siri capability) are in the 100 millions correct? No, that's not their reason for not having introduced it on Macs yet.

What kind of selfish post is this? Next you will be asking Apple to allow folders on top. /s
I love that Siri icon, it looks beautiful. So it will definitely be changed before the release. I expect something like this:
...only of course with super-saturated colours.
laughed out loud really
If Siri will automate such things as Hey, Siri restart the computer, please, reconnect my wifi, open 3rd party app... this will satisfy me
This. It's already a problem for loads of people with multiple devices and those whose partners/friends also have Siri "listening out". We need to be able to give our individual Siris nicknames.
How can you be sure? Siri might be the selling point of the next generation of macbooks
You know Apple...
