3lbs Macbook Pro is useful for all walk commute.

4lbs for 15"? That's .4lbs less than Dell XPS 15.

Trackpad is nearly as big as the keyboard itself.

 

[Ensirius]

Oh it looks fucking SHARP.

God I have sudden tech lust and I have a 2015 MBP which is still amazing in every aspect.

I got the same.
I think I'm selling it and getting this.

 

[giga]

4lbs 15" I'm in.

 

[kaskade]

That color is awesome. Apple, why do you do this to me?

What's the best way to go about selling my Air?

 

[Owari]

you get that there's a reason they haven't done this yet, right? Something to do with the fact that NO OTT service has all all the major providers... and none have local channels.

pretty sure they tried that couldn't get the providers on board and this is their Plan B

Well then they shouldn't act like the half baked half measure is the most innovative app they've ever created. They acted like it was the AppleTV subscription service everyone wants. Very misleading.


Also RIP Gold and Rose Gold, hopefully the iPhones follow suit next year.

 

[Ikuu]

Man who gives a shit about 4mm when it's already so thin.

 

[RSTEIN]

When are we gonna stop caring how thin these things are?

Never? Jobs was obsessed with thin.

 

[Stat Flow]

SPACE GREY THE GAWD

 

[Hoo-doo]

Can we get a little Federighi later for no reason?

Man, I wish. I love that guy.

 

[Zeyphersan]

4 pound 15" is sexy

 

[Smiles and Cries]

give me the price for that 15 inch

 

[Vanillalite]

Uggghhhh

I abhor the current MacBook keyboard, and now the Pro is going to it cause it has to be thin.

Fucking hell

 

[VanquishUK]

Holy shit that trackpad is HUGE and so are the speakers.

 

[BruceCLea]

Holy shit that trackpad is HUGE

 

[RDreamer]

When are we gonna stop caring how thin these things are? Even with increasing efficiency in architecture, you are setting yourself up for a physics brick wall and reducing space for other components

I stopped caring like 4 years ago. I don't need anything thinner. I need more functionality and battery life.

 

[Laekon]

What part of my current MBP is made up of something besides metal?

 

[molnizzle]

USB-C only on the "Pro" line?

 

[dc89]

Did he just say "It is incredible extreme"?

Extreeeeeeeeme

 

[giga]

Uggghhhh

I abhor the current MacBook keyboard, and now the Pro is going to it cause it has to be thin.

Fucking hell

2nd gen breh

 

[Dany]

They're saying the keyboard is better than the ones on the macbooks.

 

[Owari]

Let's see if the smaller one has a GPU. My money is on no.

Also eager to see how the touchbar works with Windows. My guess is that will be conveniently ignored.

Edit: hey I guessed the name

 

[CrunchyFrog]

Never? Jobs was obsessed with thin.

But honestly, 3mm difference? It's hardly noticeable, and you're kneecapping yourself in space utilization.

I stopped caring like 4 years ago. I don't need anything thinner. I need more functionality and battery life.

Like, holy crap, imagine if instead of making it thinner they put enough battery for it to last several days on a single charge. That's WAYYYY more useful on a portable product than a 3mm difference in thickness

 

[theultimo]

Holy shit that trackpad is HUGE.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Hmm 2nd gen switches. Maybe they took some of the feedback from the Trackpad and rMB and made them better, we'll see.

 

[dallow_bg]

When are they going to stop with the "thinnest" bullshit?

When are we gonna stop caring how thin these things are? Even with increasing efficiency in architecture, you are setting yourself up for a physics brick wall and reducing space for other components

When people like me stop caring.
I LOVE thin notebooks.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Ohh here comes the dickery. COURAGE.

 

[biosnake20]

More travel for the keys

 

[dc89]

What part of my current MBP is made up of something besides metal?

The hinge is black plastic.

 

[Zeyphersan]

They said better travel than the rMB

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

My $2500 is ready.

 

[Marty Chinn]

It seems to me they could have not increased the size of the trackpad, included the row of F keys and escape key, and then above that include the OLED keys too. You'd get all that without sacrificing the row of keys.

 

[EmptyCanO'wupass]

How are you not supposed to hit that trackpad with your wrists?

 

[sankt-Antonio]

Oh again, if something is old its shit and has to go...

 

[Darryl M R]

Apple killing the headphone jack and function keys.

Homicide rate going brazy.

 

[Owari]

Man who gives a shit about 4mm when it's already so thin.

Especially when regular USB and HDMI ports would still fit on this Mac.

 

[borghe]

USB-C only on the "Pro" line?

It's still USB. You get that, right? If you can afford a $2000 MBP, you can afford a $5 cable.

 

[victreeb3l]

Forgot Sierra has the picture in picture feature. Makes it super easy to watch this and work at the same time.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Courage incoming

 

[Living the Dream]

Mention 45 year old technology yet keeps 100+ year old technology.

 

[Joel Was Right]

I'm so glad Apple have given us a thin notebook. It's just what they've been missing.

 

[Fuchsdh]

It seems to me they could have not increased the size of the trackpad, included the row of F keys and escape key, and then above that include the OLED keys too. You'd get all that without sacrificing the row of keys.

Except then the OLED strip is less easy to access, and you're prioritizing F keys over trackpad, when most people will get way more usage out of the latter.

 

[see5harp]

You know what else what multitouch? The fucking Function keys.

 

[Chris R]

How are you not supposed to hit that trackpad with your wrists?

Maybe it's smart and ignores certain touches? I hate how the trackpad feels now in the current MBP tho with it's fake clicking

 

[Hoo-doo]

Not going to lie, this new touch thing is going to be ten times as functional as any function row of keys.

 

[Sony]

Such a huge contract with what Apple emphasized and Microsoft emphasized. Apple really spends the time to show how mm got trimmed off of it and Panos went through the design and specs like a seasonned rapper.

 

[gimmmick]

Touch bar looks pretty nifty.

 

[Aiii]

I want to buy this as a keyboard for my Mac Mini, Phil, please provide.

 

[The Real Abed]

Apple gave us the trackpad?

I knew I hated Apple for a reason

Haha, yeah. Well I guess you could say they "gave" it to us in the sense that they "gave" use the GUI OS. In that they made it the thing everyone uses and standardized it. Before that it wasn't standard and no one even knew what to call it.

So basically typical Apple invention.

 

[Frustrated_me]

I'm so glad Apple have given us a thin notebook. It's just what they've been missing.

 

[MGrant]

Function keys are just more keys! They're not old technology! They still have useful applicatioooooooonsss...
