This is beyond stupid.
how many hours till conference?
edit: 7 more hours :S
bind that shit to caps lock for easier access. esc in the top-left is in fucking no man's land, and who seriously uses caps lock on a regular basis?

So now Macs can't even turn on. Great. Just great. Well done, Apple.
is [the MacBook Keyboard] really that bad?
It's a personal thing. It doesn't bother me in the slightest but others make it out to be like a turd in your cheerios. I got used to it within a week, like using touchscreen keyboards.
Yes. And it's not so much that "it's really that bad," it's that you're taking an industry leading keyboard that virtually everybody adores, and replacing it with a keyboard that is very divisive. Some people, in this thread even, said "After a week I got used to it," and "I liked it after using it for a couple weeks," which is great for them, but virtually nobody has had that response to the (Old?) MacBook Pro keyboard, which virtually everybody instantly loves when they use it.
*however* i think the new wireless magic keyboard, which also uses the same butterfly key mechanism but with far deeper travel, is actually pretty great and much better than any apple laptop. if the macbook pro feels like that it'll be a legit upgrade.
The Magic Keyboard actually just uses scissor switches, as I understand it. That said, it does *look* nearly indistinguishable from the 12" MB keyboard, so for all we know the MBP is using something more like the Magic Keyboard.
My daughter does this too. Figured it was a young person thing, like walking with your phone on speaker talking into the mic.My girlfriend, when typing, will toggle Caps Lock ON/OFF again when she needs to do a capital letter. Drives me up the wall.

I've had a MacBook since launch with the adapter running a 1440p HDMI ASUS monitor every day in the office and haven't had a single issue with it. What didn't work for you?
What do you guys think about pricing? Same structure or they gonna jack up the pricing?
Just got this snapchat from a friend lol
The OLED strip can be a nice gimmick to see incoming texts or Caller ID.
Nope, some key that actually needs to be pressed often deserves that location. Back when I settled on my keyboard layout I was a very heavy Vim editor user, but even I wouldn't put Esc there, I went with Ctrl instead.bind that shit to caps lock for easier access. esc in the top-left is in fucking no man's land, and who seriously uses caps lock on a regular basis?

If rumors of the discontinued 11" Air are true I think
Lowered Pricing : current Macbook
Increased Pricing: 13" Macbook/MBA, 13" MBP
Same Pricing: 15" MBP
Surely. But those keys on a Mac already come as secondary function needing the fn key to be used.Are the F1, F2, F3, etc keys a part of this magic tool bar as well?
That'd be fucked up if that happens.I worry that it might become adspace for some apps.

I'm planning to make a third party bonzi buddy magic toolbar actually.you can't seriously think this will happen?

I wonder if only mac app store apps will be able to use the magic bar
jesus christ no
Hopefully it'll be smart and be an open API as long as the dev has a certificate. That I can live with. iCloud used to only be accessible to App Store apps but now you can use it as long as you're certified. Like 1Password who only used to have iCloud backup if you bought the app off the store, which I hadn't, but a few versions ago Apple opened it up to everyone, probably because they gave up thinking the App Store was going to magically become widely used on a platform where anyone can install anything they want from anywhere.I wonder if only mac app store apps will be able to use the magic bar

it would suck but I wouldn't be surprised

I would be - they've started moving away from that. iCloud and Notifications don't require it anymore, for instance.
Yeah, dont quote me, but just hope. Because fuck, I dont even have all my apps on the store. In most cases I hate the store. So they better be smart. Though I could see it being limited and locked at first like iCloud was. But let's hope not.oh thats a good sign then, perhaps it will work like iCloud
My assumption is that there will be a modifier key (probably the 'fn' key), that when held down will switch the bar back to the system-level ESC and Fn keys.
Seems cool. Not worth upgrading my Macbook Pro Ret(2015) though. Especially if they are only using USB-C
I said that too. I mean it's how the keyboard works now. And I'm sure that the option to swap the Fn functionality will still be in the OS so you can have the F-keys visible by default. At least I guess you will. I can't wait for people to start doing hands on videos of it.Just had to say that I called it on this. 🙃 All that whining about the Fn keys being gone were of course baseless.
