Touch bar is neat, but for a professional (like myself) it's totally unnecessary. I want next gen power and portabilty, and reliability. I want that available when it's time to retire my current gen mbp.
And having the "pro dj" guy awkwardly fumble through his cheesetastic "set" was almost worse than the synchronized usher prom dance scene in she's all that. Who will ever use it in such a way?

Well I certainly hope that by the time I purchase the parts for my hackintosh build Apple has updated their iMac line at least, otherwise the components have to be based on what's currently there. Nvidia at least updates their drivers independently from Apple, but man this was a disappointing event.

And the prices man... even increased the base price of the non touch 13" by $300. Fuck right off Apple

Let's also discuss how calling a thing you can't put more than 16GB of RAM on it a "Pro".

You can't even connect a new iPhone to the new MacBook without buying new cables or adapters.

- you're right thoughmonospaced
- Why would you need a new cable if you have the lightning/USB cable that came with your phone?CyBrainX
- Because the cable shipped not is not lightning to USB type cmekk
- Wait. They killed USB?? I'm a little behind on this obviously.CyBrainX
- they switcehd to only USB-C ports, so you need an adapter for any standard USB devicesmonospaced

As a PC user who's slowly come around to an appreciation of Apple over the years, I'm a little bemused at the idea of long-term Apple-ites considering switching to Windows.
Truly End Times.
- hey, we like funky cool tech. apple doesn't do that any morehans_glib
- At the end of the day, it's a box of wires that we use to get shit done. I got tired of expensive, under-powered, hardware holding me back.face_melter

dead set on the 13inch pro - anyone familiar with music software, logic, audition, reason - what kinda firepower would i need for processor?
I don't really game or fuck with video editing.
Some advice appreciated!
- 32gb of ramerr
- ^oops I always went with the second to last top of the line and max the ramerr
- It will run, but dual core will be shit for a lot of instruments / channels.section_014
- logic will be fine.fadein11
- I use Logic on my old i5 Air and it works alright. Starts pissing about with 16 channels of virtual instruments thoughIanbolton
- ^^ Also, it depends on the instruments. One instance of Kaivo w/ 4 voices would bring that dual core to it's knees.section_014

They STILL think 16GB of RAM is enough for everyone who wants a Macbook Pro.

Shall we start our own computer company?
- We should design the perfect $1,000 hackintosh for creatives on QBN and share that knowledge.monospaced

I just hope my magic bar will be responsive and snappy and not lag and fuck shit up.
I hope I don't need Viagra for my magic bar.

I'm like wtf? top of the line macbook pro 15 inch (16gb ram ffs) is 4.999 euro. a computer at that price demands applecare so you add 380 euro on top of that. A grand total of almost 5,400 euro. what's going on. Now more than ever gives me more reason to consider other options.
