Eink looks great, but the refresh rate puts it out of the useful zone for a main display. People want more than 60hz and I don't think Eink can do 6

It would be ok for the code editor if you primarily reading

Would be a really niche monitor

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.

To be fair, I have both 2018 MBP 15 (work) and 2015 MBP (home), I notice the weight of the 2015 a lot. Performance has been relatively the same - hasn't been mind blowing if I'm honest.

I really do hate the new keyboard to the point where I simply don't do any dev work until I plug in my dongle with my screen/keyboard. It's really that bad. The touch bar has been useless as well and more of an announce sometimes, especially when it would freeze randomly.

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.

physically swap the two monitors?

Scrolling is also horrible, as would be quickly switching between different files.

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.

Just need to add a notch for the Webcam

Don't give them ideas, please!

I think it's a great idea. There's dead space between the menu bar and the icon area. Why not use it for the webcam and shrink that top bezel?

At CES, "Samsung Unveil[ed a] 15.6-Inch Ultra-HD OLED Display for Laptops," https://www.anandtech.com/show/13896/samsung-unveils-15-6-in... . I wonder if Apple is going to round 15.6 inches up and call it 16".

I don't see Macs going to OLED for a long time. OLED is very hard to control burn in for system with static GUI elements. All brands pulled their OLED laptops last year (2017 OLED laptops went back to LCD in 2018) and they just restarted their efforts this year. Macs don't even have touch screens.

Yeah, i was eying the Lenovo Yoga s940 but it has 3x USB C vs the 2X USBC and a USB A in the older c930. Might just get the older one because of that.
