Sagebrush posted:for the 0.01% of the population that has that kind of requirement, there are powerful PC workstation laptops. it'd be nice not to have to ditch my software and workflow, and not have to use windows, though. for an upcoming project i'm gonna be doing some stop motion animation, and i'll need a computer that can be in close proximity to the camera and models so i can be checking the current frame against previous frames often (and also because the camera needs to be plugged into the computer), but still be easily repositioned when the camera needs to be moved. this computer (and camera) will also be plugged into main power all day. the computer also needs to be powerful enough to quickly move around and decode RAW files from the camera (including play them back in real time) and do some test compositing. and while the new macbook pros can probably handle my aforementioned workload, it'd be nice if i had the option of picking one of the "good" GPUs from the current generation (good in quotes because LOL AMD) and CPU, but even the best GPU that you can get in BTO is still one of the low-end ones, and apparently the CPUs are actually slower than the ones in the last generation MBP. nevermind that they're removing useful features like magsafe, which is of concern to me given my upcoming project will involve me working around a plugged-in laptop a lot.

atomicthumbs posted:The touchpad is a screen now Apple gonna totally rules lawyer their way to the Surface and people like Gruber will fellate them endlessly for it. "you see they said using the laptop screen as a touch input is a bad idea which it is. that's why it was so insightful for them to have spent the last half decade perfecting the technology in the new 4D Trackview, while also having the courage to discard the now superfluous antiquated power and space hogging Retina display."

lmao the new MBP doesn't actually work with existing Thunderbolt 3 docks / adapters http://plugable.com/thunderbolt-3quote:The version of OS X on the new MacBook Pros (late 2016) will not work with existing Certified Thunderbolt 3 docks and adapters (released prior to November 2016). These existing devices use Intel’s Thunderbolt 3 chipset (Alpine Ridge) in combination with the first generation of TI USB-C chipset (TPS65982). Apple requires the 2nd generation TPS65983 chipset for peripherals to be compatible. Certification of solutions across different device types is still in-progress for this 2nd generation chipset. From the Plugable product line, our dual display graphics adapters for DisplayPort and HDMI (TBT3-DP2X and TBT3-HDMI2X) are affected and are disabled by OS X on the new MacBooks. quote:AppleInsider contacted Apple about the matter, and was told that the feature was removed due to a lack of customers using the functionality.

yeah, this is still the best laptop I've ever used I agree that it's underpowered and the dongles are ridiculous but I does everything I need and it's very pleasant to use. I wish it would stop correcting my typing though.
