Good morning guys !

March or June... it's either Wait or Wait, so I'm still waiting for my new retina MBP13 + :apple:Display. I'm even learning not to look at the kbd each time I'm writing, so I can look at my new 4k display while I'm working :D

This interview was really annoying to me.

I still have hope for a refresh for the 13"atleast. Like a lot of hope. Nothing holding that back and refreshes aren't picked up on by rumors and such. Stay frosty.

That's what i believe, too.13 upgraded to Skylake with appropriate 28W DualCores, maybe TB3 and a change in memory (like up to 32GB). I just want to replace my early 2013 Laptop since it's out of warranty and still has like 1000 resale value according to eBay etc.
 
While we're waiting, I did some photoshopping on the current Retina 13".
(The Rose/Gold colours came out oddly. Maybe the thin design is a little ambitious?)

That space grey one looks great! The amount of USB c ports looks funny but would be nice and those bezels!

If Apple doesn't refresh their lineup in March, at least i hope they give us a preview, just so we know the wait will be worth it.
 
sooo the event is 2 hours long, no way in hell they could talk about Apple Watch bands, 9.7in iPad Pro, iPhone 5se and some stats/store updates....
 
For those who are waiting for the proved-reliable insider's information on feng.com, sorry for the delay.

And here we go.

  1. We do have the 13'' update, and it'll be thinner than the 2015 version.
  2. The new 15'' MBP will come this fall with a re-design. New colors. New keyboard. Hidden functional keys. Touch screen. Much thinner.
  3. No MBA update temporarily.
  4. Earlier posts include the rose-gold NMB. But later he said it is postponed. (But the event is also postponed. Maybe it'll be a One More Thing?)

I don't know how you guys feel, but this arrangement sounds reasonable to me.

But, still, don't take it too seriously. The rumors about Macbook in feng.com now is also a mess. Those I picked are posted by the guys have hit it a lot of times before. Hope they don't miss it this time.

How in the blazes can Apple make a MacBook with a touchscreen after explicitly stating that a touch screen computer is straight up painful to use?
I absolutely agree with them and refuse to pay extra for a worthless gimmick.

They already have touchscreen portable, the iPad Pro. And using the touchscreen with the Smart Keyboard on is a bloody nightmare.

Let's say it together now, so it can sink in:
Touchscreen laptops are stupid.
Touchscreen laptops are stupid.
Touchscreen laptops are stupid.

That's why actually I don't want to post it here.

To most people things are just getting more and more complex and disappoting.

So really, if you can't accept, just ignore, and keep waiting.

Honestly, I hate it either.
It is so not elegant, and make the screen full of finger print.
But after they announced that copied keyboard cover for the iPad Pro and that ugly charging case for iPhone, who knows?
It's clearly not that Apple we used to know.:(

sry but to many ports on one side. maybe 3 ports on 1 side and 3 ports on the other side, more ergonomic

I feel the exact same way about touchscreen laptops, except it's flipped around.

With immensely small areas, like the top menu bar on a mac, you would have to press several times just to click it in the right place.
Then move your hand out of the way cause you cant see anything, then repress whatever option it is you were looking for, repeat process of getting your hand out of the way multiple times and touching your screen again.
At this point you have been holding your arm up for at least 30 seconds to a minute and now your arm is feeling heavy so you put it down and use the trackpad anyways, which would have saved you alot of time and the discomfort in the first place.

The only useful application I see to having a touchscreen laptop is for programs like photoshop where you could draw with an Apple Pen just like on an iPad pro.
But like I said, using a touchscreen on a vertical screen is very uncomfortable, so ideally you would want the screen laying flat on the table in front of you like a piece of paper. (dont even get me started on the hinge when using the screen)
And at this point the new rMBP has become a Surface book with a detachable screen because Johny Ive would realise that everything about a vertical touch screen, at an armlength away, isn't really intuitive and ergonomic after all....

Seems like a great innovative idea.
Jezus f*cking christ man.....

EDIT: I'm doing ok now, phew

well the rMBP already has five ports on one side and 3 on the other. could take out a TB3 port maybe.

I think touchscreen can work well on laptops. especially windows 10 where you can have a large taskbar as opposed to a small menu bar. I see people using touchscreens at school frequently. It's a 70-30 between the trackpad and touch screen but it has its uses.
