I'll accept the touchbar if it ever becomes a new row above the F keys. That might even be an improvement over the regular keyboard design since the F keys would no longer have to pull double duty as media/system keys. Although they'd have to bring back the correct cursor keys as well.

the F keys are only useful because of the meta keys on them for media/brightness. stebe made the correct decision by making the media controls primary and the actual F keys only accessible with the fn modifier, because seriously no one ever uses them. having an F key row with no media controls on it would be an even bigger waste of space than the touchbar

i have a thinkpad but i also don't think the touchbar is conceptually a bad idea. like, i would even find it useful as a contextual finger-sized palette -- e.g. for changing brush size in photoshop or whatever. but removing physical controls and replacing them with a touchscreen is almost universally a bad idea unless there are tremendous benefits and in this case there aint'

it's a shame apple is ending their photo printing service. Lot of family members I know used it quite a lot. Too bad it was never(to my knowledge) ever integrated into the iOS Photos app. Now I'll have to get more prints from places to see who's pretty good. I'd use Nations more but their software is straight out of 1997.

two more cores and non low power ram. and also a big iPad class arm chip with its own ram. they bumped up the battery to compensate but guess what the thermals are an even bigger problem now
