if the studio had a 1070m or 1080m in it id say its a no brainer, but the 900 series mobile gpus are not on the same level. maybe they'll update the specs after the holidays?

Everything you watch in one place (except for Netflix and Amazon, representing like 70% of the market)

Netflix should punish them by removing 1080p support from slowfari

cbs is pretty desperate these days, aren't they?

they have the most broadcast viewers so they've been overly protective of their content w/ their own streaming service. they're trying this as a way to get people into their service but the second someone goes into the apple tv app for apple tvs and has to create a cbs account to access stuff its over.

if you're not excited about touch bar you're not thinking about the programming applications

like yeah it's dumb as poo poo when it integrates with apps but imagine that poo poo integrated into a serious workflow

lol. if you weren't using function keys before which would be far easier to use in a text focused environment, theres no way you're gonna use the iforce touch bar outside of a few gimmicks when you first get it.

the trash pro only gets updates every 10 years because the people who buy them don't really care about the hardware
