Excited for the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Hopefully they will bump the pixel density and keep the 15” footprint by just using the black bezels around the screen. It’s kind of a shame that’s the current 15” doesn’t have a pixel density high enought to support 1:4 pixel matching in their default resolution. It results in blurry text.

This. Would expect a similar bump where the 13” mbp fills its bezels to be more like a 14”, products like the matebook seemingly do this.

I want my ports back. I want the same ports on the iphone as on the macbook. No one cares about the damn touch bar. No one cares to have another few tenths of a mm shaved off the thickness.

> No one cares to have another few tenths of a mm shaved off the thickness I do. (To be fair, it's why I use a MacBook Air.) Apple's R&D department also does. Miniaturization is still a trend. By pushing the envelope on the iPhone they were well positioned for watches.

Did you skip latest iPhones because previous generations are thinner?

The 16.5" screen I would have never seen coming. I wonder what the target is or if they are just going edge to edge on a smilar size to what we have now in the 15 The 6K screen I predicted. It's the most data you can send over ThunderBolt 3. It does however, gimp any dock you could be able to use. Now, will other manufacturers be quick to copy the 16" laptop?

You already have the Asus StudioBook: https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2019/1/7/18171395/as... , though it’s not a retina screen

Our best case scenario is such a laptop came out with an optional touch bar, but really Cook's probably shaking his head laughing while the only thing they're working on is quadrupling their bet on MRR from services people are going to use for decades.

That's a good example though: they should have the Air focus on thinness and portability. But have the Pro focus on a workstation-like setup.

Oh wow...and they said 16:10 was dead! What a surprise to behold for all 10 of us that prefer it over 16:9.

I've yet to find a monitor that "just works" with my MBP. I'll take whatever they release. My LG is nice, but often gets confused about when my laptop is plugged in. Both of my Dells are ok, but randomly lose signal and can't control the volume from the Apple keyboard or from the OS. It would also be nice to not need a docking station and or adapter anymore.

This is something I cannot stand. I have two external monitors, and each time it wakes from display sleep they switch around - so the desktops are reversed. It's infuriating . I have tried and tried to find a solution but so far have nothing.

I had the same, though after three days I just gave up and physically switched the monitors. It shouldn't be necessary, but at least I don't have to deal with it anymore.
