Though exclusive to Apple devices doesn't mean that the HBO Now app won't support chrome cast right?

I do get a little annoyed when companies has presentations followed by a video that repeats all the information from the presentation.

that's actually one of the tenets of public speaking

you tell people what you're going to tell them,
you tell them,
then you tell them what you told them

Whoops. I meant to say it should be the other way around. Video first, then expand on the points in a presentation after.

Wait, it just has one usb c-type? So if you are charging the laptop you can't even use a peripheral? Uhh....

Rumors are that the charger block has traditional USB ports built in.

I think Apple's idea is that you leave it in a safe place charging overnight and don't have to charge it during the day.

Why? That is not a high end processor or specs... It's a bit higher than I would like if anything.

Overengineered Apple products are generally quite expensive for the first gen.


Speaking of...

Interested to see if Apple makes first party stuff to plug into that USB C port.

They said that both they and third party manufacturers would be.

$1299 is too much for something that is a ipad with a trackpad and keyboard.

But it's not an iPad? At all?

I keep going back and forth on the Apple Watch. I had a Android Wear device previously when I had an Android phone and I really liked it. I have a Pebble now and it's pretty good, but I miss being able to act on notifications without having to take my phone out--I'm just not sure if I $400 miss actionable notifications.

The fitness functions, which I kinda shrugged off at first, might be the thing that pushes me over to the side of buying the watch. I have a month to think about it, at least.

This but unironically: http://www.apple.com/watch/apple-watch-sport/space-gray-aluminum-case-black-sport-band/

Black makes everything better. I also fully expect this configuration to be the first to sell out.

That said if I had more disposable income AND the wife wouldn't kill me I would consider dropping $700 on the steel/milanese combo.
