yeah i looked em up. i was wrong.

lol. i mean 99.9% of people that just use them to facebook won't notice but not even offering any higher performance is pretty hilarious. they'll probably still manage to overheat too.

i could see it maybe becoming a good product later on when more things adopt usb type c and if they decide to add magsafe to it and somehow give the keyboard more travel

the first mba was garbage also so it'll probably take a few years before this is good

I refuse to believe it won't overheat once flash gets involved.

When I got my MBA I didn't think it had any fans until I watched some flash video, took me like two minutes to figure out what that noise was

i've been using the same magsafe adapter with my 2009 macbook pro since 2009.

the part where it connects to the power block is kinda frayed by now but it still works. :shrug:

also who wants to bet the only difference between the topcase of the new 12" and the 12" iPad Pro is that the iPad has the serial lasered under the apple

the link bracelet on its own is 450

also the milanese loop is just 150

so you could plug in into a sport and have a milanese loop watch for 500

the way i understand it is that the bands are not interchangeable at all, so you can't use a band from the Apple Watch on the Apple Watch Sport nor can you use one from the edition on the Apple Watch

give it two days and buy a knockoff chinese copy with a different adaptor? its not like anyone is going to be able to tell the difference since it'll be hiding under your cuff most of the day anyway.
