it would own to have a macbook with an ipad processor where throttling isnt an issue at all and also with a gigantic battery but i think we all know they'll use that opportunity to make it .1mm thinner instead of leaving the larger battery in there

it would own to have a MacBook with an iPad GPU

I like having touchid on my MacBook. I just removed all the useless buttons from the touch bar and now it's fine.

Don't paint your nails before you type on it though because the keyboard will stop working forever.

touchID is p nice. for the buttons, I just swapped the Siri button for Lock Screen.

e: just had the watch unlock work after taking the dog out. yo thats :krad:

it's not early enough to have bodge wires. I've already taken it in/out of the case enough for one week

the bottom 4 simms add up to 8mm, no idea about the top 4 but they do sure have a lot of chips

hmm Apple should really make some more monitors, I’d get an iMac but I work remotely like one or two days a week and I need my main screen to accommodate whatever piece of junk work has me dragging home and back. Took forever to find a used LED cinema display to get a screen that doesn’t require the super-rare thunderbolt port.

like just the newest imac but as a monitor using displayport. yessss.

eh, decent concept but I always need a bigger screen than my ipad or mba so its forever a gimmick

poty posted:

as im sure they build a full macos for arm because the cost of one guy maintaining a concept build isnt much and its great leverage

even easier when the full build has their custom chips and also they use the same base os for all their devices

wanna see that ipadbook pro

yeah displayport and pcie over usb c (thunderbolt 3) is the real way to connect monitors

i installed the displaylink drivers on my computer to try to use a work-issued hp branded multi monitor usb hub and it was very bad. color banding everywhere, could even see color bands in the grey shading on macos windows.

got proper usb-c to DisplayPort dongles the next day and turned around 365 degrees and dragged the displaylink drivers to the trash

holy poo poo that’s a great price. I have this monitor. the actual screen is great. the stand is wonky because lol LG. I might buy a second one now.

also, it ONLY has TB/usb c ports on it. do not buy unless you have a touchbar MacBook and you’re living the usb c lifestyle.
