Where's the F8 on the new MBP? *HELP*

[kokhoong0624]

Just an image I saw on a Chinese Forum.

Btw, anyone who already have the new 15" MBP, can you please report your battery life? I've received a few helpful feedbacks from a few members here... and they range from 4-8 hours.
I already ordered one for light use during classes (webpage, pdf, powerpoint) and I definitely hope it would last at least... 7-8 hours. If the battery life is garbage I would have to cancel my order because there is no returns in my country. Please report your battery life if you don't mind.. Thanks in advance 🙂

You might find a better selection of feedback on battery life in the existing thread. Only mentioning this as there are over 100 replies there so far.

if you hold down Fn, F8 will not appear on the touchbar?

No it doesn't appear because it's in windows recovery

External keyboard is your only solution.

I guess apple doesn't do QA anymore ... too much bugs, maybe it's a feature

Until there are updated boot camp drivers then this will be a problem.

I ran into this as well when my Windows install ran into an issue. No function keys to press. 🙁 Had to start over.

They definitely didn't do their homework with Bootcamp, I can tell you that.

Apple has no obligation to support anything Windows if windows want their software on Mac computers then thate down to them boot camp Is just a courtesy from Apple.

probably that's why they didn't mention it during the mac release, why include it.

Users concerned that Leopard would devalue third-party virtualization software such as Parallels Desktop for Mac or VMware Fusion need not worry. Jobs called Boot Camp "a great complement" to those products and said, "There are three great ways to run Windows on a Mac." Apple is helping VMware and Parallels "as much as we can," said Jobs.
