2018 prediction thread?

and replaces the touchbar, giving back function keys

They're going to say they completely redesigned the keyboard but it'll still have the same problems.

The only thing macbooks have going for them is the trackpad, if they fuck with it Apple would be going full retard.

if they roll back to the first gen butterfly switch, then none of the issues of the second gen dust occur, but it still achieves short travel

i really hope theres more top of the line dual core mobile "professional" cpus

youtu.be/9BnLbv6QYcA

All of the iPad Pro users would instantly migrate back to Mac for a Pencil-supported touchpad and for full Photoshop.

Also, there’s nothing wrong with making the trackpad a display. That’s a way better implementation of context sensitive touch controls than the stupid touch bar

They used to have great keyboards too. WTF went wrong?

thinnovation

First gen scissor clips were top tier, before they went to the Air’s shallower travel keys. It started their thinning trend.

Not like they couldn’t have made the actuation force lower than before and made them clamp on lid shut, oh no... that’s be too much innovation. And it wouldn’t even be visible...

>retina meme for "pros" have have

I have a strong feeling, if not this year for sure in the future this will become reality

Do you want to source those battery claims, because I can't find anything which supports it user.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Best thing I did was buy my mbp in 2011. I think up to 2013 it was still good, but since then it's only downhill.

Can someone explain this pic?
Never used an iTampon

The charging port extends from the pen so you have to stick it in like this, and clearly it's piss easy to break the pen and/or the iPad.

>it's apples fault no one uses USB C even though spec been finalized for years

It's rumored apple is replacing usb a side with C on their lightning cables and then bundling a C charger

That will spur it along pretty quick

Spacebar will be removed. The new macOS will simply detect when you need a space, but they will sell an apple branded external bluetooth(or maybe USBc?) spacebar for somthing less than a 100$ for those who have a hard time switching.
Alternatively, someone will probably make a third-party software where you could say something like "Ok, space" if you're a cheap fuck.

nice, charging brick built into the laptop

fuck apple is good

It's just a basic outline, couldn't make it thinner

how else would you charge it unless you used wireless charging? There's an adapter that comes with the pencil that lets you plug it into a phone charger. I never understood why people don't think this is a convenient way to charge on the go

With a cable, like everything else. If you use a cable and accidentally bumps into it, the cable bends and everything is still fine.

>remove useful things
>add useless things
>macfags will defend both

Like I said, you can use a cable though... What if you're out and about? Plugging it right into the ipad for 3 minutes is significantly more convenient than plugging it into a power brick when you're not at your desk.

The connector on the pencil has flexible pale port. It can deflect like 30 degrees bidirectionally and has a looser tolerance. If you bump into it, it deflects and will probably come out.

The bottom will go full glass as a touch keyboard and second screen.

Will it stop failing at the drop of the hat over nothing and overheating like a 2003 toshiba satellite?

/thread

Anyone else unironically want Apple to end the Mac lineup and push all development towards iOS devices?

A touchscreen keyboard with no feedback

What's her name again?

Same ports but with SD card for photofags
AMD APU with vega graphics
Same screen but brighter(why)
New and improved keyboard(tm) that's basically the same
Touchbar optional on 15 inch and removed in next revision
Some wanking off a "new and improved thermal solution" that doesn't matter because it would still cook your testicles off if you had any
Same price, pay up goy

Holy shit this might catch on

The Wacom stylus for my Thinkpad x201t doesn't even require power.

But that's just it. aRGB is literally useless for all digital purposes. It's purpose is to literally mimic print colors, which almost no one uses anymore.

No one bothers to color their prints based on raw RGB color codes in a different colorspace, they use either pantone colors, or take raw aRGB photos, or autoconverted RAW digital negatives that push colors to an aRGB color profile-compatible color space.

Why should any desktop computing company invest in aRGB, when good 100% aRGB monitors already exist out there in the wild?

Why make 100% sRGB and 100% aRGB laptop display, when you could take the money you would have put into aRGB, and put it towards DCI/P3 and HDR10? For starters, photographs are viewed on screens nowadays. The majority of images are viewed on screens, mostly on Instagram anyways. DCI/P3 is valuable for video color grades, and watching movies is enhanced. And you get exponentially more color out of HDR10 than you would out of any other monitor that the loss in aRGB likely doesn't matter because you're representing newer colors in a standard that's not going to disappear any time soon.

>I never understood why people don't think this is a convenient way to charge on the go
Convenient, yes.

Hazardous, silly looking, and could easily be avoidable with just a proper cable, or even a magnetic pogo-pin charger instead? Also yes.

Apple will reinvent the keyboard by removing all the buttons and just giving you one big capacitive touchpad that functions as a keyboard.
It works for phones and tablets, so it will work for Apple MacBooks with Retina Screens too.

The keyboard is possibly the most importand aspect in a laptop, as it's the one thing you're gonna literally get your hands on the most.
If the keyboard is shit, the laptop is shit. And MacBooks nowadays have a beyond shit keyboard.

Is this real?

No, it's a feature

MACTODDLERS BTFO

I hate this anorexic trend
Give me better cooling, excellent specs, tons of I/O, a cd/dvd rw drive and make that fucker an inch thick. I won’t care. I do care when they gimp it and turn it into a literal toaster because muh 3/8” thickness.

I bet that the future macbook pro will have a giant screen as keyboard using force touch technology.
I don't know if I should like it.
The actual keyboard, except for the fact that it has low as fuck travel and likes to kill itself, is the most táctile keyboard that Apple has made since they left mechanical switches behind. Apple should improve the design,

Are you posting from 2008?

iPad built-in under keyboard.

...

He's not a ((())), his parents are from southern Italy.

One time he told his experience when he found a new place to live in a jewish area, the jew landlord had the keys and contract ready and then somehow Louis tells him he's not actually jewish.
The landlord rips the contract to pieces and tells him to gtfo of his building and never come back.

iPad Pro with Taptic feedback as a keyboard/trackpad.

>his parents are from southern Italy.
Are you implying that in South Italy aren't jews?
Considering his historial, I'll not be surprised that he's lying.

Yeah, i'm gonna need a few examples of him lying, your mouth is not enough.

I could say that based on your browser history you're a pedo, even though I have no evidence (or do i?)

How about the time that he literally whored for attention saying that Apple wanted to sue him?

He showed the email from the lawyer, you pathetic sack of shit

Yes. It was not threatening anything, Louis.
Stop lying, you filthy kike.

Apple keyboards used to be "good", I would not have classified them as "great". That would be reserved for the Thinkpad 600X and the X300/X301.

Unfortunately they do. Everything on the PC front has been moving thinner and thinner every year. Even the Dell Precision has gone for "muh thin", and that is SUPPOSED to be a mobile workstation with powerful CPUs and beefy discrete cards that work hard for hours and hours. They NEED space for cooling pipes and air flow. The old M4700 and M4800 were pretty unapologetic about being fat and ugly but god DAMN could they ever perform. Meanwhile the new 5000 and even the 7000 series heat up unacceptably fast and stay hot, meaning the components throttle and you get subpar performance after an hour or so of work. Marketing people and product engineers are worried about what a few "reviewers" might say and push for this nonsense, losing sight of what users actually want and need.

Seems like a pretty dumb move for a Jew. As far as I've seen, Jews are happy do to business with anyone so long as they pay up and don't squawk.

You are mentally insane.
Yes, it was not threatning, they were asking nicely for him to remove that video.

Every lawyer starts with a polite request. Then they start threatning you with a lawsuit.

In this case they decided not to make the next step.

What's your point ifag?

>prediction
>apple
Who gives a fuck.

HAHAHAHAHHA

>moving the goal post
He's a liar. He wasn't to be sued, but literally build a shitshow to get more publicity. He says his parents are from Italy, even with this german looking surname.
Its not the first time that some dissident voice in Jow Forums has say these things about him.

Didn't you used any alps switch Apple keyboard?
They are pretty sweet.

The Alps switch? As in the mechanical switches? Those were only on desktop keyboards as far as I know. Back in the day, my parents had a Power Macintosh 7200/90 which came with the shitty Apple membrane keyboard. But my dad stole a few of pic related from work, they were tiny but had Alps mechanical switches. Fucking godly to type on, used it right up until the end of university when I wore a hole in the space bar.

Ah, yes. The apple notebook keyboards are historically awful. I always ended selling my Macbooks because that.

I want to get one of these. Do you know if the ADB to USB bridges are still made?

Listen you poor apple employee, your damage control has zero effect.
Zero.
Your fagbooks "pro" are garbage and this jew-non-jew is exposing your asses all day, everyday.

Wow, you are mad.
Have a nice day user.

Yeah I remember a friend of mine in High School had a Powerbook G4. The keys were nicely shaped but the actual action felt kind of mushy and imprecise. My Thinkpad T22 had a far more satisfying feel.

Back in the old days there was a converter called the Griffin iMate, but they were kind of flaky and are now notoriously rare and expensive. I used something called the Wombat, which was actually pretty neat because it could do either ADB to USB, or USB to ADB (although I can't think of a single USB-powered peripheral you'd want to use on a vintage Mac). It was pricey though, $50 for the board and then $10 for the acrylic case. But it's been pretty reliable for me so far.

Did you know that the Apple Keyboard II also came in black?
