Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

[volcomvenom]

They are acting like nobody ever has had a touch screen on a laptop or computer.

I'm just so happy to see Craig.

Agreed. Craig is the only one who I actually like seeing on stage, especially over Eddy Cue and most of the women.

Look at all of the things I can already do with the trackpad...

 

[Alakagom]

Macbook Pro should be called '' hipster teens show off new macbook'' all these changes are targeted at that crowd it seems

 

[IndigoDesign]

Anyone else underwhelmed?

 

[mehdijobs]

honestly, it looks weird to use the touch bar when you already have your finger on the trackpad. Why would i go all the to top of my keyboard when i can just click on the button.
Same for play... We can just hit the space key...

 

[mrkkbb]

I want to know what is under the hood!!!

 

[Hyloba]

That bar can just be shown on the bottom of the screen! I would rather use the mouse or trackpad.

 

[andiwm2003]

I already don't like it. Thinner is meh. Touchbar for emojis is a joke. Lighter means not optimized for power.

I'm sure I will buy one anyway. Not ready for Windows yet but I'm close.

I feel like they use the touch bar as a replacement for touch screen except it's tiny.... I have mixed feelins about it, now you have to look at the keyboard instead intuitively using the mouse/trackpad.

 

[OriginalStix]

Champion of truth.

 

[jeh72]

Customization is good.

 

[Blatboy]

ok. drag and drop... cool.

 

[Stangy123]

Ok thats cool.

 

[stevenv321]

I applaud them for thinking outside side the box, but I won't be looking at my keyboard when I am normally glued to my screen.

 

[myscrnnm]

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

More like a solution to having a touchscreen. I don't want fingerprints all over my main display.

 

[Saturn1217]

Ok I do like the ability for the user to customize the touch bar.

 

[idark77]

No for Touchscreen but Yes for Touchbar...

 

[boxwno]

Out of curiosity is there a resident Steve Jobs authority, did he have any feelings on technology like the touch strip? I wonder if he'd be on board or not.

the only useful thing is the touch ID. Stop.

Anyone else think that this could be really dated in a year or two? Have to take your eyes off the screen so much. Seems like it's a gateway to an Apple convertible or touch screen laptop (which I have always wanted).

 

[rainbowdementia]

Everything is hilarious and wonderful and beautiful now that Tim Cook is off the stage.

 

[Yaemon]

I'd like to move all my Dock bar in the Touch Bar..

 

[jeh72]

Hardware?

 

[Speechless]

what are the specs tho..
