Yes I have used all 3 butterfly keyboards. I agree the first gen was awful. 2nd felt great but was quite loud[0] and had the issues with dust obviously. This is very much like 2nd gen with just a very very subtle softness to it. It feels

I got my 15" 2.6Ghz i7 model yesterday and I love it. Obviously there are issues as many have reported but I am using this for iOS and Android development and this thing is a good 30-45% faster for builds compared to my top-spec 2017

I suspected as much which is why I didn't bother with the ~£300 upgrade from the default 2.6Ghz i7 to the 2.9Ghz i9. The MBP already struggled with the old i7 and with no redesign I couldn't see how they could handle the i9 withou

Yes I have Pro Support (on-site, 24h) but they don't have the part (keyboard in this case) in stock so the earliest they can do is Wednesday (when I called Thursday) which is no good for me as I am over the Atlantic that day. Not Dell&

Yeah Apple are not perfect but the luck of the draw has given me several faulty Dell's and no faulty Mac's. Which am I going to prefer? :)

Yes! This is what my 9570 is like and it is driving me insane . My MBP is due on July 26th, that date cannot come soon enough.

by satysin 8y ago
Oh it isn't a good comparison I agree with that. I can't help but be pissed off with Dell though. This isn't the first problem I have had with their "premium" laptops either. I only bought the 9570 as Apple was sile

I have a new 15" MBP on order at £3300. I also have a similar spec XPS 15 which cost me £2600. So yes the MBP is £700. The XPS also has a better CPU (i9-8950HK) but that is kind of a waste, I only got it with that because Dell basicall

Not the best review but I feel it is more for others looking to use it for things similar to the author (CFD). It is nice to see some keyboard and screen improvements though. I am looking forward to mine arriving on the 26th and will write

Well I hope it doesn't get to the point where it bothers you. I also have a hatred of some noises with coil whine being one of them. In my on-going saga with this XPS 15 the space bar has now developed a wobble and is not picking up pr

I will have to test on my 2018 MBP when it arrives in a couple of weeks. Will be interesting to see side-by-side against the PM981.

My XPS 15 shipped with a PM981 (1TB) and while it is fast it isn't as fast as the speeds in the article. However I think this is more down to Apple "cheating" at the file system level with delayed write and snapshots or whate

I am jealous tbh. I have isses with coil whine and audio interference (crackling/popping) in audio.

I am using a 9570 also (same specs as yours) but have an annoying audio issue with crackling/static at random times. Also some coil whine. tbh I don't expect this on a £2000+ machine. I have already had one replacement and I have

I have ordered a 15" 2.6Ghz/32GB/1TB model, I am just hoping they have improved the keyboard reliability.

I don't see the problem? Holding at an angle and using compressed air is the most sensible way to dislodge a small foreign object from under a key.

I thought it was very cool of Kyle, the Bitwarden dev, to give Joshua, the Ruby dev, a heads up about breaking API changes ahead of time. https://github.com/jcs/bitwarden-ruby/issues/32

My thoughts as well. Celebrity businessmen like Musk can't really win because no matter what they do there are people who dislike them, rightly or wrongly, because of other things they have done. Personally I don't think Elon was

by satysin 8y ago
The people who like Musk will say he is doing good trying to help even if they can't/won't use what he offers. The people who dislike Musk will say he is using this awful event for PR and such.

I have had at least 3 pairs replaced for free due to them physically falling apart. Sure you could argue I am rough with them but the reality is I don't treat them any worse than other earbuds I have that have lasted years. I still hav

I had no end of trouble with AirPods and a Killer 1535 wireless card (WiFi and Bluetooth) but replacing that with an Intel 9260 and it has been perfect.

Why did you buy replacements when Apple will happily replace them free of charge if they break?

JetBrains subscription model isn't too bad. If you buy month-to-month it is like any other sub model (access dies at the end of the month/subscription period) but if you buy annually you get a perpetual license for that version so

I like platforms like GitHub as it makes it easy to have a public portfolio of your work. Not that there is anything wrong with not having a portfolio but it certainly makes life easier when trying to show clients/employers your skill

Agreed. Maybe I am just showing my age but I love the classic design. It was clean and crisp while still looking nice. Didn't waste space with massive controls, etc. I was never a fan of the Vista/7 looks. I am not super keen on

Yes this is why I had to have a full replacement. Apparently Apple have to return the unit to their factory (in China?) to be stripped and reused.

I think the problem for me is that I use several different machines and they all feel similar enough that when I had to use the MBP it was so different that I never got totally used to it. Maybe it if were my only machine I would be okay wi
