the band by itself will still work for a certain range of wrist sizes

tbh i'd probably get the 38 alum with a white band (i'm worried about the black chipping) and a milanese by itself

that needs a processor because lightning doesn't have enough bandwidth to push 1080p video, so the video signal is lossy compressed and then decoded. USB-C 3.1 doesn't have this problem.

and thus, only the gold one is reallly worth anything, and with their crazy apple bullshit voodoo gold, how can you even redeem that without them going "hey, is this stolen?"

can you trade out the bands for the sport watch or are you forced into the plastic ones if you buy the economy version of the watch? it looks on the site like you cant replace the apple watch sport bands with the others.

if you can you don't want to. aluminum watch with steel next to it is gonna be gross as gently caress.

New MacBook has 8 gigs ram and 256 gigs memory and to get an 11-in air with the same specs is 1200. this kind of says more about apple's upgrade pricing but $100 more for a better screen, and thinner and lighter kind of makes sense.

like I'm still skeptical as hell about the new keyboard and trackpad but we'll see.
