How often do you share your MacBook though.

Rarely, but it's more that I feel the touch bar is not good, that's the one plausible use case I can see

4 x Thunderbolt ports in usb-c. they all charge.


I don't understand how they did this with Skylake. Iit has nowhere near enough PCIe lanes for 4 TB3 ports plus a dGPU plus a SSD.

Still Skylake all around... I regret waiting for this.

Tim Cook is a supply guy. Where Jobs would say something like "I don't give a gently caress what it cost or how bad the supply is, ship the loving thing, and ship it now.", Tim is more likely to say, "Let's wait until we have more availability of these chips."

Yeah I don't get the hate for the bar. It's another way to keep my hands on the keyboard. I actually hope they release a wireless keyboard with it so I can use it at my desk since I don't keep my monitors 2 feet above my computer.

yes, there is one already, and they'll be a lot more widespread in a week or two as well

The only thing that really confuses me is...if everything is really hung up...first I couldn't do a battery pull, and that was okay because a hardware power button would cut the battery with a hold-down. But now, I no longer have a hardware power button either? How am I supposed to force a shutdown?

Would have made more sense to have the physical ESC and Power key where they are now, with the touchbar in the middle in between them!

I am so not competitive. In fact, I am the least non-competitive. So I win.
I still don't understand why they replaced the top row of keys wholesale with the touch bar. Couldn't you have both and have touch bar exclusively be for application-specific shortcuts/interfaces for the people afraid of keyboard shortcuts?

At least for me, this would make way more sense on a wireless keyboard than the integrated one on the laptop. But like someone said earlier, this might be designed for people used to iPhones and iPads than a straight laptop
