wwdc next week, who's got the hot betS?

imma bet that the new mac pro isn't announced or mentioned. sub-bet: it goes the way of airpower [in that they couldn't make it work given their stupid design size constraints]
macos 10.15 works on less models than normal because they want to go all-retina, so only 2014+ [with the airs fromt his period just being grandfathered in and working like poo poo]
ios the next one has user profiles on ipad pro
services, something that we took for granted as free now has a cost [which apple excuses by calling it Service+] or some new part of MacOS 15 is monetized

msbp have been retina since 2012

retina means nothing if it doesn't imply a specific dpi, the values changed over the years between laughable and admittedly pretty good in both directions

They also do a 5 year ProPlus-equivalent warranty for the X1 XXXX-TREME, Dell tops out at 4 for the XPSes.

I'm not going to lie, my first SERIOUS BUSINESS laptop was a ThinkPad T42 and I've always regarded them fondly. Is their organization Dell-comparable?

Does anyone know when they'll be moving to 9th gen Intels and 1660/2060 graphics (Dell is apparently releasing the XPS 15 with these in June)?

digging this old post out to note that the xps 15 got the more reasonable GTX 1650 (so same 50ish watt envelope as the 1050, but a turing chip now), indeed 9th gen processors, and the webcam moved to now film your face instead of your nostrils. also an oled option for people who are made of money.

Now the touchbar will take up the top two rows of the keyboard. With every revision, it will move down another row.

the trackpad becomes unusable and the fans run at full tilt because I don't think power management works correctly with the supplied drivers.

they also sold non-retina models for several years after that

so yeah, i'd fully expect them to fragment the install base in a way none of their customers will understand

Sometimes when I start to efficiently thumb type on an iPad I somehow select and entire phrase or sentence that immediately gets typed over and I’ve never been able to figure out how the gently caress this happens, Apple is good at design.

my favourite is the half-second delay from when you type to when an autocomplete suggestion updates, leaving you selecting bullshit gibberish about half the time

Maybe the 14” Inspiron? It’s got an m.2 and a 2.5” hard disk hole so there’s room to upgrade, it only has an MX150 but that’s probably enough for old games like Skyrim and Witcher and train sperg games?
