This is the part that I really don't get. Apple takes away all those features, but then brings them back? What is the reasoning behind this?
I'll believe it when I see it. I could believe them getting rid of the touchbar, but bringing back magsafe? I'm sticking with my 2015 MacBook until it's irreparable, and I do like the magsafe port, but is there really any point in going back after moving to USB-C? I think I just like magsafe because it's cool more than that it actually has some sort of superiority over USB-C. I've tripped over the USB-C cable to my w…
I like the touchbar! Especially now that the esc key is physical. I never use f keys, and I like knowing what the “key” is going to do before I touch/press it. And 100x so for family members that were afraid of those keys.
I finally cracked about a year ago and replaced my 2015 MBP 15 with a 2020 MBP 16. Now I'm gonna swap it once this thing comes out. Experiences thus far with the MBP16: - MBP16 has 64GM RAM and can run several IDEs at once, I can compile a project and do other stuff without feeling any lag. It does make the fans come on, which is expected. - Still stutters on certain games, but it wasn't purchased for that. Kinda sur…
I suppose it goes to show just how badly Intel has screwed up in recent years -- so much development went into this "Turbo Boost" feature that heats up processors hugely under any sustained workload in a way that no laptop can properly keep up with. In certain cases it could make sense ("my project takes 20 seconds to compile, and then the processor basically shuts off") but I routinely end up pegging the CPU at max for 10s of minutes at a time for huge compilations, and the minute the fans spin up I know that Turbo Boost is about to thermal throttle my CPU into oblivion.

I hope they also allow at least two displays to be connected instead of the one display limitation on the latest MacBooks
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Mac user: what's a right click area? Non-Apple laptop user: "It's that ridiculous concept of only being able to enter a right click in a specific area of a track pad. Also, can only scroll by swiping on certain parts of the track pad as well" Mac User: You accept that?
2005 called, they want their jokes about PCs back. Dedicated touchpad areas for right clicking and scrolling haven't been a thing since Windows introduced precision drivers and gestures. IIRC even most linux DEe have the same features.
I sent back my pro and replaced it with an M1 mini the moment I realized only one monitor worked.
I will say Logic X makes a Mac worthwhile, but it's like I'm recording on the road.
