kek apple can't even design a mouse correctly
>>50795396
>you can't use your mouse while charging it
>>50795396
Is this real?
>>50795437
same thing with the pencil, in six minutes you get 12 hours of use, but of course people will complain abotu this shit
>>50795525
Or they could have moved the port.
not even 50c chinese mice do anything that retarded
steve jobs has probably burned a hole through the bottom of his coffin from all that turning
>>50795396
they said charging it for 1 minute gives you 9 hours of use. So isn't a big a deal as people make it, it's still pretty horrible design
>>50795561
>steve jobs has probably burned a hole through the bottom of his coffin from all that turning
>implying he was ever buried
This was Apple's plan all along. They hooked him up to a generator and they're just trying to get him to spin fast enough to power the planet. Apple will be supplying 100% of all power in the world when they finish putting out all this retarded shit.
aha
>>50795437
Ok that's great but why is the charging connector on the bottom of it?
Jobs would have killed the engineer that brought this to him.
>>50795437
I'll take 15 seconds to swap batteries for 8 more months than a stupid cable plugged into the bottom so I can't use it while it charges.
>>50795658
It's Apple's way of preventing their users from using the magic mouse as a wired mouse. They don't want wires to be associated with their products.
>>50795708
this is exactly correct
'W-w-what are you going to do with that Lightning cable anon-kun?'
ugggguuuuuuuuu
>>50795708
>tfw this is probably the actual reasoning
>>50795396
obviously you are meant to buy TWO of these mice if you wanted to multitask
twoipadstomultitaskmeme.jpg
Fucking hate wireless peripherals like mice and keyboards. Always go down on you at a bad time.
Just get wired. Simple. Effective. It just works.
>>50795583
>>50795437
And yet if they had've PUT THE FUCKING PORT SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN THE BOTTOM
The amount of time it takes to charge for '9 hours' of battery life wouldn't be fucking relevant.
>>50795583
>>50795437
>can't tell if apple shills or actually retarded
>>50795396
why the fuck didn't they use the tried and trued port location of putting it at the fucking front of the mouse .
>>50796058
But then it wouldn't look as elegant Anon.
>>50796081
i'm sure it looks super elegant upside down or awkwardly sideways while it's charging, unlike any other wireless mouse that just looks and works like a wired mouse while charging
>wireless mice
meanwhile I just have the wired mighty mouse plugged into my macbook air when I need to use Blender. Wireless mice are assburgers.
>>50795461
I really like my MX Master. What's to complain about?
>>50795797
the lightning cable could break moving the mouse
2 minutes charge for 9 hours is amazing
>>50795543
Or they could have induction charging with their fancy magnetic connector.
>>50795396
>lewd
>>50796081
the 3rd party wireless charging add on for the old mouse was a better and neater solution.
G-d save us.
>>50795795
ME NO LIKE FIRE. ME USE STICK. SIMPLE. EFFECTIVE. IT JUST WORK.
>>50796161
but they haven't invented inductive charging yet, silly.
>>50796274
Those two don't even have the same usage case.
>>50796323
What is Apple Watch?
>>50796323
I appreciate the meme you're hinting at but the Apple Watch uses a magnetic inductice charger.
>>50796332
I'm sorry, but this thread matters very little to me. How about I just call you a jewblasted fucknugget and call it a day?
>>50796441
Sure. I'm making a daki out of this shit anyway.
>>50795396
Just use it like a trackball while it's charging
>>50795708
I was thinking this very thing
>>50796145
kek
next thing apple is releasing black and white infomercial videos of people using wired mouses breaking their fucking cables

Within a few months of use that 1 minute charge wouldn't get you to 1 hour...
>>50795396
Seriously apple's current charging port designer is a fucking genius
>>50796644
Selfie stick... genius!
>>50795437
Or you could just use fucking rechargeable batteries that will last a month or so.
>>50795592

There are people on this very board who will unironically defend Apple's recent peripheral charging design decisions because "it's only for a few minutes".

I don't see why you couldn't manufacture a wireless charger for this

>>50795795
>Always go down on you at a bad time
Kinda like your mother.
>>50795396
Apple is fucking retarded.
>>50797578
It's intentional.
When they release the new one, it will have the charge port on the front of the mouse instead of the bottom and everyone will think it's revolutionary.
>>50797526
Material cost = $35
Chinese child Labour = $13 per day (a day for an apple factory worker is about 22-23 hour shift)
Making money from people who think apple is providing space age technology at a reasonable price = Priceless
>>50796609
Yes Apple turned tech into fashion accessories we know this already
>>50797526
Oh shit there's a new Magic Trackpad?
Did they improve these products in any way besides making them thinner?
>>50797526
It's made of pure crystallized semen.

its magic
>>50797720
yeah you can charge it with lighninght and it has farce touhc
>>50795592
holy shit
>>50797957
Can you keep it plugged in? It's annoying having to go look for batteries every couple months
>>50798008

>>50798151

>>50797016
>putting the sensor all the way at the front of the mouse
what the fuck were they thinking
>>50797526
Can someone please explain why everyone is so hard for these things?
Like, sure, laptops have them because portable. But why would you choose a trackpad?
>>50795708
>tfw some retard at apple actually though this was a good idea and everyone agreed
why does it use a lightning cable and not USB-C?
why not just make the macbook charge with a lightning cable? why are they using 2 standards that achieve the same thing?
>Apple's face when they can design the stupidest shit and still make a profit
>>50798225
OS X works great with a trackpad. With how large the Magic Trackpad is, I see it more as a gesture mat for input with cursor control as a secondary feature. It's so useful, 4 finger swipe up and down is Home/End, 4finger swipe right and left changes workspaces, 3 finger tap at the top of the trackpad opens Mission Control, etc. I was pretty wary about replacing my mouse with a trackpad but I've come to love the shit out of it.
>>50795396
>flat design

Apple, you used to be good.
>>50798323

huh?
>>50798201
>having mouse acceleration that you can't turn off through the gui
apple never was the smartest when it came to mice, especially with the puck mice
>what were they thinking this is retarded wtfwtfwtf
so the thought behind this design is you can't just leave it plugged in
by making it impossible to use while charging you make it so that it is either charging or in use
>>50798362
can't seem to decide on lightning or usb-c. lightning's not standard though.

So how easy would it be to replace the HDD and ram in the new 27" imac? Thinking about getting one but don't want to have to pay an extra $1000 just to have a decent drive and ram. Also why the fuck does it have ddr3? I think skylake was all ddr4...
>>50798304
Oh, actually, as a companion to a mouse it could be great. I do enjoy flipping between desktops while working.
Not a hundred dollars great though, maybe I'll get an old one.
>>50798225
I grabbed the old trackpad since I was so used to the macbook, plus it is actually good. Nowadays though I just use a mouse, and using the trackpad feels awkward.
>>50797720
and a new keyboard
new trackpad seems ok I guess
new keyboard is a definite downgrade
new mouse is... different.
i dont really care about apple but whats trhe logic here? why have it be rechargeable if youi put the plug in an asinine place
>>50798460
I've got the old one, it's pretty nice. I figured I'd use it alongside a mouse but now the only time I pull out my mouse is every once in a while when I want to game.
>>50798484
It looks like I can keep the new trackpad plugged in, I'll probably get it just for that reason at some point; Force Touch will just be a bonus
I've been using Apple since they had that rainbow logo (pic related) and they used to actually be good and actually "user friendly", meaning things were obvious and easy to find. Now it's all DRM and obfuscation (even the library is hidden) and after the iPad I knew it was the beginning of the end.
>>50798522
my only problem is that they probably gimped it like they gimped the keyboard
the ONLY reason I use the 1st gen keyboard is because its probably the only good feeling chicklet keyboard, and they already ruined it on the retinas/macbook
>>50798521
The real reason they have done this is to hide the port on the bottom so it doesn't ruin the aesthetics.
Apple does this time and time again. They pick aesthetics over functionality, making shit products that look good on the outside and work awfully.
>>50798554
My 1st gen keyboard broke recently, I've been using an old rubber dome Apple Pro keyboard. Radio Shack had a sale on the 1st gen keyboards for $29 but I think I missed out
>>50798588
any sales on the 1st gen magic mouse?
mine is kinda fucked and I'd like to get a new one, but I don't want to pay 60 fucking dollars for one.
might find a mac fag online to trade my magic mouse for his trackpad.
>>50798606
Not sure, all I can remember is they had the keyboards on sale
>>50798438
Nah, Skylake supports both DDR3 and DDR4.
>Replacing anything in a new mac
Shit's probably soldered onto the main board tbh, please spend an extra 1000 dollaridoos like a good goy
>>50798562
they couldnt just put itn in a sensible place like the front? who looks at the front of their mouse?
>>50798438
>So how easy would it be to replace the HDD and ram in the new 27" imac?
Difficult unless you have experience replacing bga chips
>>50798625
>sensible
Nope, this is Apple we're talking about here.
>>50798426
Don't you mean thunderbolt?...
>>50798627
Say what you want, that mouse is comfortable to use and it's nice having adjustable click pressure
>>50798685
I think he's talking about how the MacBook uses USB C
WoW /g/ you care shittons about products you supposedly never use or are interested in.
How surprising
I bought an iPhone and a Mac Mini, I'm going all in Apple for at least a couple of years as an experiment. Wish me luck /g/.
>>50798834
Prepare your anus
>>50798770
but there's no such thing as a thunderbolt connector...
>>50798834
Totally Apple? Are you even going to use icloud email?

>>50798759
>that mouse is comfortable to use and it's nice having adjustable click pressure
Well you are also saying what you want with no basis.
>>50798930
My basis is years of using the mouse
>>50798868
Maybe for some things. I have a lot of accounts set up with my current email and I don't want to switch all those over. I could set up email forwarding, but eh.
>>50798960
Well thank god we all go by the personal preference of a macfag of several years.
A literal pebble has the same ergonomics of this mouse.
A mouse from 40 years ago can host more functions.
But hey, your subjective opinion means a lot to us, keep sharing.
>>50795396

>>50798995
Just because it looks unergonomic doesn't mean it is

It would be nice to have that in a laptop without the hassle of a dedicated GPU.

There isn't even one good apple mouse. I had to return the fucking magic one because of the severe hand cramping. Never mind the round puck or the one button design.

Apple is responsible for popularizing the WIMP GUI and the mouse, there is no historical ambiguity here.
Microsoft and IBM only caught wind of these by virtue of Microsoft being software developers for the Mac, they had no relations with Xerox themselves.
Otherwise these technologies would have been left to languish at Xerox PARC indefinitely.
Use up to two AA batteries which I have to replace every couple months. I use rechargeable so I've never had an issue of being out of batteries as I always have a few spares charged and waiting.
