Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

[Ampidire]

Craig is a *much* better presentation/performance giver..

 

[blackberrycubed]

not impressed so far

 

[yanksrock100]

Damn, that trackpad is huge! And the touchbar seems pretty useful actually.

 

[jeh72]

Good, function keys still available

 

[Blatboy]

fn-ESC for VIM now

 

[Mkondrak]

look at that 15in bezel. its almost dell xps like.

 

[ThisBougieLife]

Thank God it has emojis. Almost had a heart attack there

oh, so while on safari i can't change brightness of the screen, great

"Siri, type 'escape'".

Touch Bar seems like a solution for a problem yet to find

No, it is a solution to not having a touch screen.

I'm kind of "Meh" on the 15" design. The forehead above the keyboard on the 15" is kind of annoying, and I still don't like the touch bar. I hate to say it, but this new MBP doesn't make my rMBP feel dated like new hardware usually does. I actually prefer my current rMBP in terms of the inside keyboard/trackpad design. Meh. I don't know.

so space gray is technically the color we have right now in the apple watch 2 series and iphone 6s?

 

[jeh72]

I'd say it's halfway between the XPS and the old mbp

 

[ultraman982]

Space Grey, take my money!

Can I trade in my jet black iphone for a space grey?

 

[Speechless]

That's pretty damn cool..

 

[nonm]

not impressed so far

expected a flying macbook?

 

[mrkkbb]

fn-ESC for VIM now

hmm, maybe there is a fn lock

 

[Baltimoron]

If I have to look down to know what I'm pressing on the touch bar, that's a problem for workflow

 

[BenTrovato]

What are we looking at 4 USB C ports?

 

[stevenv321]

this is game changing!!!

 

[onVacation]

oh, so while on safari i can't change brightness of the screen, great

You can, there was a little icon for brightness.

 

[jeh72]

This seems kind of gimmicky to be honest.

Edit: here come the emoji lol

 

[volcomvenom]

emoji again, what is their fetish with it?

 

[IndigoDesign]

IM NOT A FAN OF THE TOUCH-Bar...
It forces you to look down onto your keyboard if you really wanna use it.
I think you'd be faster using the touchpad and the onscreen icons never removing your eyes from the screen...

and... Emojis...

 

[voyagerd]

It's a good replacement for keyboard shortcuts
