I loved the form factor of the 2015 MacBooks. It was perfect for college and I took it everywhere. It only lasted ~2 years before the mobo failed and it longer booted up. I think there was a known heating issue with these laptops.
What’s a mobo?

They’re on the back.
Can you point to a picture?

#143So basically it has evolved into a laptop with a detachable monitor that includes a built-in camera (which is for sure awesome)
Yes I wonder what's going to 'win', tablet or 'laptop which can act like tablet', or will they both stay? At this rate we'll have to start comparing tablets like this to laptops like Surface Pro and it's clones (or vice-versa, maybe the Surface is the clone, don't remember exact sequence of events) because the only difference is the OS. And if more 'tablet modes' start emerging from main OS the gap will become very n…
To be honest, it's hard for me to think of cases where the tablet is better suited outside of things like digital drawing/painting, and some niche cases like at an expo.

#145One concern: my iPad Pro 1 smart Keyboard died after 2 years.

#148I still wish I could run Xcode on it. It’s too nice of a machine to have to spin up a cloud server to develop on. One concern: my iPad Pro 1 smart Keyboard died after 2 years.
I really think it's coming -- one day anyway -- perhaps when the Macs run Arm there'll be iPad's running Xcode

#150> The LiDAR Scanner measures the distance to surrounding objects up to 5 meters away, works both indoors and outdoors, and operates at the photon level at nano-second speeds. Light travels 30cm in 1ns. That's not really a very exciting precision at 5m range. That's like 4bit resolution. Are there any specs aside from this marketing blabber?
... but it „operates on the photon level“ - that’s got to be a first for an optical system /s
Ok... but they actually said "The biggest thing to happen to the cursor since point and click." What, being on an iPad?
