wait is it true that the low end mbp now has a 15 watt part instead of a 28 watt one

e: looks like it's a Core i5-6360U. so it really is a low end ultrabook part

ars technica's take:

quote:

Both laptops are still recognizably MacBook Pros, but in keeping with Apple’s design priorities, they have slimmer profiles and smaller footprints. This is made possible in part by the move to USB Type-C ports like the one in the MacBook, all four of which support Thunderbolt 3. All four ports can be used to charge the system, too. Compared to the measly one port in the MacBook, the MacBook Pros are much more appealing to people who plug lots of stuff into their computers at once. Apple has also made the cowardly decision to retain the headphone jack.

but this did me the idea to make a amp power supply that takes inputs through two separate 120VAC feeds coming from opposing phase on the house which will cause any noise induced through "dirty power" to be cancelled out via a furious waving of hands and sold for thousands of dollars to idiots

I've had like 4 Surface Book orders come through here in the last 2 months and those I don't get; the surface pros are alright but the book is just so not worth what microsoft wants for it
