Can't watch the stream, any info on Pascal for desktops if they've showed them yet?

I'm watching a live blog just now (on mobile)

What is context of this pic exactly?

Dongles.

 

[Owari]

What's the point of having the video on the touchbar if it isn't saving any screen space whatsoever on the screen?

Someone please explain this to me.

How is any of this different from what you would already do with a trackpad?


Apple, fire the yes men and get someone like Jobs in there telling you these ideas are BAD.

The ports replace all those if you buy the right dongle.

 

[The One Who Knocks]

So is that a good GPU?

I assume it's only the 15"? So the 13" gets the shaft?

I'd gladly downgrade to a 13" if... oh, I see. 103% faster. Haha. Faster than the last 13"? How does it compare to my dGPU 15" from 2013?

Also wondering. The 15" seems like a more attractive proposition at the moment.

And AHA, it's saying that USB-C can be used for those purposes.

 

[wachie]

This has to be the worst Apple product reveal ever.

 

[Living the Dream]

Why is this woman yelling

 

[Jayayess1190]

Sucks they waited all this time just to equip these with Skylake.

You will need to buy a converter to use those ports.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Agreed. I'm not spending money on hardware with old tech like that.

I am fully in Poe's Law territory with posts like these

 

[BeforeU]

I am confused as hell, they really demoing how to control video editing tool from touch bar and not from trackpad? what??? in the world is happening.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Holy fuck.

As someone who has cut at least 100 video packages for broadcast news in FCP, I can definitively tell you that anyone looking at the keyboard to make those shortcut changes would be laughed out of the studio.

 

[Moreche]

This keynote has done absolutely nothing to make me want a MBP.

 

[Interfectum]

Watching her use that touchbar is painful. No one asked for this.

 

[DedValve]

I loved the idea of the oled function keys but the more examples they give the more I just wonder how much more intuitive and easier it'd be to just reach out on the screen and do it there.

I still like the oled bar but they are just making a stronger case for touch screen.

 

[Gandie]

Touchbar seems like a waste. Using Better Touch Tool for all of these use cases

 

[flyover]

Okay, this will be pretty cool for music editing if the touchbar is incorporated into Logic Pro, too.

 

[Robot Pants]

Is everyone a video editor these days?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Dongles

You gonna need lots of adapters.

Ah shit.

 

[offshore]

Apple really need help with their presentations.

This is like Nintendo E3 2008 bad.

 

[icespide]

its all macbook pro so far

 

[BruceCLea]

How fucking hilarious would it be if she were editing porn right now?

 

[Leona Lewis]

Odd aside, but compared to Microsoft and Google's recent presentations, this is a white panel of presenters. Has there been a person of color yet?

They don't have a reason to trot out the overenthusiastic black female Apple Music exec.

 

[gamz]

Coming from the MS bombshells yesterday this is boring as hell.

 

[Sec0nd]

The touchbar seems really cool. But it's just another way to do stuff we can pretty much already do with shortcuts and/or trackpad. Dunno. Maybe it's actually really useful to use but it's not really selling me on the usability.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Probably how most will use it

 

[JBuccCP]

Every time they use the touch bar they look like an old person that can't type finger pecking.

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

I'd be happy if these new Macbook Pros come with complementary dongles.

I need to plug in my mouse or USB Flash Drive.

 

[see5harp]

You can scrub through your project or zoom in and out in final cut pro? That seems so much worse than just using scroll wheel on a mouse. It looks cool, I guess.

 

[icespide]

context buttons are fine but I think scrubbing on that touch bar is gonna be a pain in the ass

 

[borghe]

Dongles

wrong. they are thunderbolt 3. DP, HDMI, USB-C, USB-C->USB-A, Thunderbolt, and power all can be used with the proper cable. the only dongles you'll need are likely VGA DB15, or if you need to plug in your hardwired USB-A device.

 

[ReAxion]

Don't count out the Cinema Display, is a rumor I'm reading.

 

[killertofu]

I am living in the darkest timeline.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Can't watch the stream, any info on Pascal for desktops if they've showed them yet?

it's been only Macbook PRO, but it is AMD in there, so it is probably AMD all across the board.

 

[Warnen]

This has to be the worst Apple product reveal ever.

that IPhone 7...

 

[faisal233]

The most telling part of the touchbar is that fact that she was looking at the keyboard the whole time. Why would you want to look at the screen when editing video content /s

 

[max-pain]

So I can't even plug in a fuckin' iPhone

 

[mnannola]

So I am going to need 2 different dongles to connect my cinema display to this? One for the thunderbolt and one for the mag-safe?

 

[Jenotron]

Holy fuck.

[clav]

Oops.

 

[Zeus The Dino]

Christ youll have to buy a adapter for hdmi? Fuck apple.

 

[Fuchsdh]

it's been only Macbook PRO, but it is AMD in there, so it is probably AMD all across the board.

Yep generally when they've flipped from AMD to Nvidia and vice versa they've done it across the line.

 

[Moreche]

Please tell me Susan is not in charge of a team at Apple.

 

[jimbobsmells]

Every event recently has at least one person who is just too shouty or over the top, who we'll never see again.
This woman is done. Bye bye.

 

[D4Danger]

If you need a sub title can I suggest "F off, productivity"

 

[The Real Abed]

This guy

You don't realize how much that will help to reduce stress on the cables and be so much more convenient.

My MagSafe is completely destroyed because my cable always came from the right side but had to take a sharp U-turn to plug in. Since they got rid of the much more convenient L connector it made it even worse. So it would get stressed out all the time. But being able to plug it into the right side will be so useful.

Everyone was afraid they'd limit charging to just the top left port if only to save on circuitry, but they didn't. Instead of confusing people who would be expecting it to work on all ports when it doesn't, or having to label the one port as the "charging port" they made it smart and make it charge from all of them.

Would be hilarious if you could plug 4 chargers in and charge it 4 times faster. (I dont think technology works that way, but hell, they could make each charger charge a separate battery cell.)

 

[HarryDemeanor]

So I can't even plug in a fuckin' iPhone

It will just cost you $20.

 

[Stig94]

So much courage on the sides of this new MacBook Pro

 

[def sim]

I don't understand who'd use that instead of the trackpad or mouse.
