I seriously thought its under 1000$

... Not with Apple's investors and profit margin success. I want a cookie because the skew that I want is $1600.

SHIT GETTING REAL as they announce the watch.

Spoiler

Never buy a first generation Apple product.... EVER word to iPhone owners, first gen intel iMac owners, and retina macbook gen 1 owners. I'm not saying people are sleeping at all but Apple iterates rather quickly on devices and there's a strong chance your first gen device looks like a bad purchase in 12 months.

If you're balking at "that price for those specs" you're missing something very important that you can't get anywhere else.

An Apple logo?

 

[RuGalz]

ew core M

 

[Deleted member 22576]

I can't believe anyone cares about specs anymore.

 

[flyover]

That's a good way of putting it.

 

[Einbroch]

They updated the UI. Thank GOD.

 

[Namikaze]

I feel like the new MacBook would be good as a college laptop used exclusively for schoolwork or something. Like just using Pages/Word and some light browsing etc.

 

[LyleLanley]

He's been wanting to do this since he was 5? Why didn't he just buy one of those Samsung watches?

 

[Majine]

Tim Cook never had a walkie talkie as a child.

 

[Enco]

Worst thing about smart watches is the idea of always being connected.

Constantly checking my wrist for an update.. no thanks.

 

[Angelus Errare]

So they just gonna keep selling that non-retina MBP whose specs haven't been updated since 2012 to people like that?

lol

 

[GSG Flash]

Seems like Tim Cook has never heard of Samsung -_-

 

[Corgi]

hope the thin fever hits apple watch soon. Seems like a giant compare to the rest of their lineup

 

[Incognito]

Zzzzz. This watch thing is gonna be a dud. Who replaces their watch every year or two? Watches are timeless; but this from Apple isn't supposed to be.

 

[Guess Who]

A "bit" high?

It has a freaking weak CoreM.

It's also two fucking pounds and has a Retina display and is fanless and gets 10 hours of battery life.

Processing power isn't everything. Core M will be plenty for people who use their laptop to write book reports and browse the internet. This will be an incredible college student notebook.

 

[scotcheggz]

I'm not sure I get these watches, I'm quite torn.. I bought a real watch to stop myself being so stuck to my phone when checking the time. Like connection fatigue or something, sometimes I don't want notifications all day every day.

At the same time, the functionality is cool.

But my watch looks far sexier.

I just don't know.

 

[Treythalomew]

Can't wait to draw something that turns into a dick at the very end.

 

[Dreadnought]

Those poor lefties that have to deal with the digital crown

 

[rinse82]

Watch doodles. Megaton.

 

[WarMacheen]

A new era of penis drawings incoming

 

[EroticSushi]

hope the thin fever hits apple watch soon. Seems like a giant compare to the rest of their lineup

Gotta wait for the 2nd/3rd gen.

 

[Poker Face]

lmao this is so dumb

 

[AlexMeloche]

Apple Watch Snapchat. Amazing! >.>

 

[Ominym]

Thank god that dick I drew on my Apple Watch will show up EXACTLY as I drew it on my friends watch.

 

[Gandie]

Bad (digital) Touch

 

[Kadin]

This friend to friend stuff is... awkward.

 

[silentQ]

Apple Pictochat!

 

[kiguel182]

So will there be another macbook upgrade later in the year?

 

[thenexus6]

Little bit bummed the 13" pro got a slight bump with new trackpad, CPU when I only got one two months ago. But whatever, you can't have the latest thing all the time.

 

[Fuchsdh]

I feel like the new MacBook would be good as a college laptop used exclusively for schoolwork or something. Like just using Pages/Word and some light browsing etc.

Yeah, but then you can get a regular Macbook for cheaper. The retina Macbook at this point seems to be akin to the original Macbook Air—for people whom battery life and extreme portability are the most important features in a laptop.

Wonder why the 15 inch didn't get updated too. Limited supplies maybe for the trackpads?

 

[Big Dog]

Tapping someones wrist sounds pretty awesome actually

 

[bud]

this looks like the psp os

 

[Zaph]

I feel like the new MacBook would be good as a college laptop used exclusively for schoolwork or something. Like just using Pages/Word and some light browsing etc.

You'd be surprised how versatile the Air's are. My 2011 can happily run Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign when I can't get to desktop. Most prohibiting issue is the low screen res, which has been solved.

 

[Nastrodamous]

I'll never understand why people don't "get" Apple's pricing. They sell lower spec'd machines that have a much higher build quality than most/all of their competitors.

I definitely see why someone wouldn't want to buy one, but to be shocked at the price? Haven't we all seen this enough times by now?

macbooks have similar build quality to everything in a similar price range but they like the MacBook are outclassed by business model computers.

 

[subrock]

That digital touch thing is awesome. Can't wait until my girlfriend gets one

 

[darkwing]

does the watch require an iphone?

 

[Fliesen]

that drawing thing is so goofy, but then again, i might just be out of touch. (heh.)

 

[Radec]

Core M?

Isn't that weaker than the i3 ?

 

[OmegaFax]

Tim Cook getting excited about answering phone calls from your wrist just felt forced and awkward.

 

[ScepticMatt]

That price is competitive with the Yoga 3 Pro and Surface Pro 3, which are similairly specced.

not even close, also the Pro 3 starts at 800 with an i3

Core M?

yes

 

[ReAxion]

An Apple logo?

You can buy stickers. Guess again.

 

[nhlducks35]

So will there be another macbook upgrade later in the year?

Probably for the 15 inch around WWDC in the Summer, unless they're going to go straight to Skylake for that one

not even close, also the Pro 3 starts at 800 with an i3

yes

With no keyboard and 64GB of storage

 

[Cloudy]

AAPL watch will be a huge success just for the status symbol factor. Hope it has anti-theft security features built in

 

[Hasney]

My friends have never text me to tell me to be more active.

 

[zychi]

The watch isn't for me. I dont wear a normal watch, I'm not buying a $500+ watch
I can do 99% of this stuff with my phone/computer. I'm good Apple. Like the innovation tho.

Spoiler

This reeks of NSA figuring out a way to know exactly where everyone is all the time.

 

[Derpyduck]

1300 dollars for a laptop to write book reports on and browse the internet? Yeah huge market for that.

 

[freenudemacusers]

this seems like a rev b or c product when they see how it gets used in the real world a bit. so far it's interesting but not particularly desirable for me.

Apple Watch Snapchat. Amazing! >.>

plus you can pay for nudes with applepay!

 

[hwalker84]

Stream just died.

 

[Corgi]

So why is this activity thing an apple watch exclusive? WAsn't that the whole point of the M processor in the phone?

 

[mrklaw]

I never knew before now that I glance with my finger
