what's the general need for microSD? My XPS-13 has one but I've never understood why its such a big deal. I almost never use it.

Import your days photoshoot to review your work, reformat the card and most importantly to back it up to TimeMachine.

Wonder how many people just now shoot on their iPhone 12/13 at least for snaps.

Epic update. Crazy fast chips, 120hz, mini LED, more ports, 64 gigs of ram. It's literally everything you could want in a new MacBook Pro.

Yes, but let's see the price tag for an M1 Max with 64 GB is, and then we can rejoice. Or not.

I have a Framework laptop on order. But I must say that I am very tempted. If my attempt at daily driving linux doesn't work out, I will probably get the M1 Max 14'' MBP.

At least there's good choices all around these days. Very recently it was 'everything sucks'.

I have been waiting on this announcement to buy a new Mac, but now that they are out, I don't think I will buy one. The prices are 2x a Macbook Air, but the utility for me doesn't match. If the 14" was closer to the previous 13" MBP price of $1500 I would be ordering one now, but I will be getting a Macbook Air instead. Note to Veterans: Apple gives a 10% Veterans discount on everything, including the refurbished sto…

Exactly this. I use cloud VMs for heavy lifting. But if I used a laptop for even an hour every day, I would snap this $2k machine.

I just wish they had a $1000 M1 laptop with ports.

I can live without HDMI, but it never made sense to me to put SD on the chopping block. In what sense was USB-C ever supposed to be an alternative to SD card slots? Edit: For clarity, read my reply to anamexis before responding to this.

Opposite for me - I almost never used the SD slot, so a dongle was no problem for me, but I used HDMI all the time.

And this debate is why Framework's approach to port modularity makes so much sense and why it's not just a gimmick, despite what early critics were saying around here.

This is literally a dream laptop. Improved in every area and lacking in none I can think of right now. And the price is crazy cheap for this performance if you ask me.

There is one area where the M1 is lacking - software support. There are still areas (eg Docker) that don't work well. It's definitely coming but it isn't here yet.

If you work outside of those areas though, an Apple Arm CPU is amazing.

Can't believe they did so many positive changes with the MBP only to add the notch from the phone in too. Almost the perfect update. Does this mean every app in full screen has to be updated to account for it? > posted in wrong thread so copying here

I wonder how it will work with a mouse. What happens when you’re hovering the menu bar and go inside the dead area? Does the cursor disappear and return on the other side? Making the dead area unvisitable (so the cursor keeps following the border) seems the most logical solution probably, but it makes it very awkward to go from one menu item to the next if the notch is between them.

I don't really like the chassis design. It looks dated. But the rest of the Macbook Pro sounds really exciting! For those who missed the keynote, here are some laugh-inducing moments - "Our Pro users love to use physical function keys. So we have added them" "Our Pro users like to connect a lot of devices without using a lot of dongles"

I think the move back to an older design language is purposeful, to remind people of the "good old days" before the 2016 design.
