I really dig how laptop input devices are in flux right now. There's this trackbar thing, and then there are RGB keyboards like on the Razer Blade Pro. Here would be my ideal input configuration:
* Touchbar with haptic feedback to make the buttons feel more concrete
* Physical escape key
* RGB keyboard with good travel
* Regular-size clickpad
Of course, this configuration doesn't exist anywhere.
The new MacBook Pro is intriguing, but I have concerns:
* Max 16GB RAM
* Oversized trackpad is going to be a palm-click nightmare
* Not sure if I'd like the new keyboard
* GPU performance is unclear---they didn't give enough details to assess it
Based on the level of detail in the video on Apple's website, I'm clearly not the target audience of this product. They hardly touched on the actual specs at all, except in a very handwavy, marketeering way.
I had been waiting to see what Apple would offer before replacing my ancient laptop. I just might go with the Dell XPS 15 but have been worried about build quality issues. I'd like something that can play games decently but I'm willing to sacrifice some performance in exchange for reasonable thermals and weight. 5.5 lbs is probably my max weight---I use it on my lap a lot.
- 6stringmerc 10y agoAgreed on all the choices. Getting kind of crazy. How about my "Wristband Carpal Tunnel Keyboard" concept for all your devices? https://medium.com/@6StringMerc/why-i-keep-secrets-as-a-wannabe-inventor-cc06886147d3#.f1czka7g4 https://medium.com/@6StringMerc/why-i-keep-secrets-as-a-wann...
