People are discussing Mac Hardware in the Mac Hardware thread, ye gads. It doesn't need to be a fanboy circlejerk. It's 10x more interesting to lurk than when it is sleeve-chat or 'my experience at the Fruit Stand'-chat

Cingulate posted:But people want a Fatbook I don't really want it to be fat, I'm not asking for optical drives or anything and I'm begrudgingly ok with no user-serviceable RAM. But I'd be totally OK if my laptop is never thinner or lighter than my 2013 15" rMBP, especially if that means I stand to gain real battery life improvements as components get less and less power hungry, and battery tech gets (slightly) better. Maybe my perspective is skewed because I carried around this for 4 years of college, along with 20lb of textbooks in a backpack:

Linguica posted:Going from 3.5lb to 3lb is shaving off 14%, so I hope your mega-commute job doesn't require much math In case anyone missed it, "0.5" above is in pounds, "2" is kilograms. Also, his "I travel" argument is dumb. I literally travel every week (as in, fly to some random city and run around like a chicken with its head cut off) and I concur with what many other people have said - my 2015 rMBP is one of the lightest things I carry, and it's more than light enough.

Most backpacks sturdy and waterproof enough to carry something as precious as a laptop probably weigh a bit, too. I say this completely unironically: cingulate harden up and injure your back carrying that laptop

If in 10 years, Apple gets another significant reduction in footprint done, making current computers look like the Air makes your old monster look, that WILL be a noticeable difference. Fling your computer around like an iPad, like a sheet of paper - if you had that, you wouldn't want to give it up. well why not posted:Most backpacks sturdy and waterproof enough to carry something as precious as a laptop probably weigh a bit, too.

I cried because I had a 3lb MacBook until I met someone who had a Dell Latitude. A bunch of guys at work got 13 inch rMBP's for development work and you'd think they had just lost their ball and chains the way they carry the new laptops around.

The one hosed up thing is that the Apple USB-C cable that you'd use with the charger doesn't work with the dock. You need to use the included cable... USB-C is a loving mess.

This is a really funny thing to hear since I just bought a Latitude E7270, which is a 15W Skylake model like the new 13" MBP, and it weighs 2.8 pounds. Might be that they had a much older model? Personally I think Apple sacrifices too much to make the drat things so thin. My Latitude is definitely a bit thicker than my Haswell 13" MBP, but in exchange I can easily pop the bottom off and swap out just about any component in the system with 5 minutes and a Phillips screwdriver. Can't be too much of a weight tradeoff there considering what it is. Eletriarnation fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Nov 4, 2016 |

krooj posted:Anyone see this USB-C hub popup on The Verge? http://www.bourgedesign.com/ In my opinion, having a literal loving squid of cables on my desk would be the least desirable thing. There is no way to manage those cables splaying out in every direction aside from "lol guess these go wherever they want." That said, its cool looking, definitely wins on style points, and if you're only ever plugging one thing in at time, it can't be too bad to manage.

So My 2015 MBP is having weird wi-fi issues. If I am on the forums, I will just randomly not be able to go to the next page. It's like the Wi-fi stopped working. If I turn it on and off, I can connect again, but it is annoying. Happens like once every 30 min. Anything I should be checking? This is my first Mac, so I am less good at problems saving then I used to be.

Might be that they had a much older model? I don't know the whole Dell lineup, but Lattitudes have been sold forever and for most of that time they've been square bricks. The i5 model I use is probably 5 pounds. It's not even the weight that's a problem. It's the creaky plastic and substandard Windows implementation of sleep mode that means everyone carries their work laptops half open. No one carries MBP's that way.

Yeah despite that apparent weight disadvantage, the plastic in a dell is going to weigh less than aluminum. I have an old style 13" RMBP and while it's a perfectly fine size I will say it is amazing to pick up a 12" MacBook and feel how thin and light it is. Makes the MBP feel like a brick, and I imagine the new revision will also feel nice on the move. I also have a 15" for work and that's definitely of a weight where I wouldn't mind lighter. At the same time it's a valid point that if you wanted a desktop replacement you're not going to care.

Went to the Fruit Stand in Grand Central just a few hours ago, grabbed the two cheapest dongles that I know I'd eventually use, went to pay for it, and was immediately cockblocked by the Apple person acting as cashier. Told her the USB-C to USB cable was only $9 instead of $19. She didn't believe me, so I brought up the Apple website on a new 13-inch MacBook Pro (seems they don't have any new 15-inch rMBPs, just the two-port USB-C 13-inchers.) She was dumbfounded and said she had to check with her manager. Sure enough her manager confirmed the prices, and then the cable scanned in at a measly $9.00. Evidently they had only learned about it two hours ago, not long enough to call a meeting and tell everybody about the new prices. They congratulated me on being the first So yay, paid only $41 for a pair of cables that was $70 yesterday (got the USB-C to USB and the Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter.)

Oh yeah, quick trip report on the new 13-inch rMBP.. they only had the entry model (8 GB) but it was snappier than the Late 2015 version. Didn't give a poo poo about the keys. Screen is incredibly sharp and on some websites 'felt' likee it was sharper. Booting to the desktop fairly quick. In general practice felt like a snappier, brighter rMBP than the 2015s which they were easily compared to because they still had more of those on demo than the new models.
