Also while your at it - produce a proper Pro laptop!
Worry less about the thinness and
- add better thermal control
- more memory
- more storage.
- extra port or too so less requirements for dongles.
- option for matt rather than shiny displays
- old style trackpads with physical click - the new ones give me
cognitive dissonance
In terms of touch bar - it's mixed. I really miss the physical escape key ( but then I'm an emacs user ), but quite like the context dependence of the rest - as day to day escape is the only one that's really memory mapped.
So can't we have a physical escape key and the rest be touch bar?
- FabHK 7y ago> produce a proper Pro laptop! Hmm, I'm afraid they listen and produce a $15k laptop... But ok, the MacBook Air is still in the lineup.
- DrScientist 7y agoExactly - road warriors, who want lightness and style ( sales and senior management ) over substance can get an Air. Serious users - developers, scientists, artists - want a serious machine.
- joeframbach 7y agoSounds like you want a hackintosh thinkpad
- DrScientist 7y agoExcept I want the Apple - it just works - part of the unified hardware/software stack. If I want something with flaky sound/wireless drivers and sluggish graphics performance- I build my own linux thinkpad laptop :-) I mean that - I have one - love linux, but not blind to it's problems.
- pentae 7y agoYou should just get the new Macbook Air thats being referenced in the article. Proper keyboard, No stupid touch bar, but still has Touch ID. Great machine.
