re: that mockup
I honestly think something along those lines would have pretty neat potential, but it's probably just wishful thinking they'd do anything good with it.
Predicting a more locked more, more portless piece of shit.
>>55022277
What exactly do you want in a laptop besides an excellent screen, reliable durable hardware, good battery life and a sleek case? I don't understand this meme at all and I wish you would die
>>55022312
something actually exciting, specs are already good enough as they are
>>55022374
Do you want it to do back flips? Light up? Flashlight attachment?
How about a fucking CPU that wasn't released in 2014 (Haswell)?
>>55022392
no, I just want Ives to get the fuck off of his fat ass and do something different other than make it imperceptibly thinner and ramp up numbers nobody gives a shit about but hipsters who should be using a desktop anyway
I want to see something that actually lives up to the hype and blows me away other than "woohoo last year's CPUs cool"
why is this such a fucking difficult thing for you to understand
>tfw they're probably going to announce yet another even more locked up version of OS X

>>55022220
Makes sense, Apple is no longer a computer company.
iToys make 90% of their revenue and the margins of selling a phone for $650 that Foxconn makes for $160 are too sweet to pass up
>>55022454
Your description is nothing but buzzwords. What possible exciting thing can a laptop do that they don't already do today?
>>55022486
do you even know what a buzzword is?
>>55022499
A word that sounds like it has meaning but is actually poorly defined if it's even defined at all. One of these words are "a computer that lives up to hype" and "exciting new laptop".
>>55021338
If it gets anything more than a passing mention it will be about the supposed oled pad.
>>55022544
just because you can't read unless it's literally spoonfed to you does not mean it's meaningless, you'd think shitting on Ives would have gotten the implication of "major design refresh" by pretty well
there's no point in being hyped for the same shit with bigger numbers; it's predictable, it's inevitable, it's boring
>>55022471
>iToys make 90% of their revenue
iToys are computers; that's how they work.
Phones, not just iToys, are computers, too.
Just because you feel your manhood is threatened there's no need to retreat into denial.
>the margins of selling a phone for $650 that Foxconn makes for $160 are too sweet to pass up
And nobody but Apple can make phones in that price range, right? Except, say, Samsung, Sony, and just about everybody else. But they undermine their own premium products in the race to the bottom. Just like they did with PCs.

what does mavericks do that el capitan doesnt do better? Serious question

what gpus will be in those??
>inb4 intel iris pro
The Macbooks and iPhone have reached such a point of design perfection that all Apple can really do is upgrade the instals as parts becoming available, and produces them in a wider choice of sizes.
I really can't see what they could possibly do to make the Macbooks better. If they cut down the bezels then you'd just smudge the screen every time you adjusted the lid, and there's be less contrast between the screen and what's behind. The trackpad was essentially perfect even before the latest 'force touch' / haptic gimmick nobody cares about. Nobody actually wants a keyboard that changed faction/shape, since that would do away with typing by feel. Nobody wants any sort of auxiliary display since your eyes can only look at one thing at once (Apple led the industry in TAKING AWAY blinking lights and status indicators littered around the hardware).
whatever happened to the Esc key though?? Vim users BTFO
>>55023046
Looking good.
Root access.
Uh...
>>55023380
root access is turned off for a reason. And it's easily turned back on if you really need it.

You should really try the touchforce "gimmick" best thing they came up lately.

That looks cool and all, but if you think about it's completely useless.

>>55023144
>even before the latest 'force touch' / haptic gimmick
It's not a gimmick though. It feels nice being able to press anywhere on the trackpad with the same amount of force.
>>55022486
But he is right. Apple has always been THE innovative company but since Jobs dead they can't do shit anymore.
At least they should bring out another color instead of that ugly silver shit, that also fits to their mobile devices.
>>55025780
>so you can't come up with one legitimate use case for the thing?
For an OLED touch 'bar' instead of just keys? No.

Remember when apple gave you the option of choosing matte or glossy?
I do ;_;
>>55028010
I'm not that guy, but if you think glossy is superior you are clearly an idiot. Glossy is even the default on cheap as fuck Dell laptops.
I don't know how else to explain you are wrong, this was the most common example a normie like you could understand that I could think of.

It is indeed the longest period without macbook pro updates ever.
Supposedly the next one is supposed to make bigger changes than just "same old shell with new CPU" (including meme features like a touch screen above the keyboard which applications can do whatever with). Combined with Intel being late with their shit it ended up being kind of disastrous.
And this was the year I was going to buy an MBP too baka.
>>55021338
Alienware and razers are better
>>55027944
Can programs actually change what's on the screen or is it just a fucking row of buttons except they decided to make it a touch screen so it would be more uncomfortable to use?
>>55021338
How the fuck do I change my brightness and anything useful
>>55028212
just a row of capacitive buttons. don't be naive - PC manufacturers wouldn't introduce such a novel feature unless they were cajoled into doing it by a serious competitor, and the only company that's seriously doing that is Apple.
>>55028109
>>55028116
Tried both, I prefer glossy screens in 95% of all scenarios. Reflection are very rarely an issue. Also, far better contrasts.
>>55028238
>Supported Operating Systems: Windows XP Service pack 1
You know it's true.
The only hardware improvements should be a CPU refresh, thinner screen bezels and adding USB3.1.
Macbook Pros are already excellent, there's nothing to change.

>>55028316
t. my wife's son works at foxconn
>>55028298
So I guess you never really compared the two. You just repeat the /g/ memes, alright.
The thing is, glossy screens only reflect when there's a certain angle between light source and the monitor. If it annoys you, you can always just tilt the screen. With matte screens the issue is that they scatter the light from all directions in all directions, so if there is one bright source of light present (i.e. the sun shining into the room from the left), then the contrast is ruined. It looks very shitty and annoys me more than any reflection ever could. Also: I can easily ignore reflections via stereoscopic vision (my eyes can separate reflection from display easily). With matte screens that is not possible. If the sun is shining on your screen, everything is just some grey blurry mess and you can't do anything against it.
>>55028298
I literally had an argument in a store with an employee back when I still was younger and still looked like a child. I was talking to my friend and we were looking at the laptops they offered. Nearly all of them had that new trend of glossy displays, which meant you literally couldn't read shit on the display because of the lighting. I said that out loud to my buddy and we both agreed, but some dickhead employee heard it and started shittalking about "better contrast and colors". The only thing was: I knew my shit even back then, because that's just how I roll. I told him to stop trying to make an ass out of us, I even explained to him the difference of how these displays are manufactured. That made him so mad, that he literally threw us out of the store.
I remember having lots and lots of converstations with people confusing reflections, contrast and color saturation back then. A reflective screen can be really neat to have, because you literally stay connected to your own face instead of falling into the computer completely, but saying that this changes color perception (that shit ain't weed for fucks sake), is just idiotic.
I get mad everytime I have to read or hear somebody talk shit like that.
i'm guessing they're going to reduce the bezels, like on the dell xps 13 and other laptops. and people will call Apple revolutionary
>>55028258
>Tried both, I prefer glossy screens in 95% of all scenarios. Reflection are very rarely an issue. Also, far better contrasts.
Thank god apple isnt giving me options anymore because this anon prefers glossy over matte
>>55028358
>cuck
>with a poor as fuck son
jesus
>>55028396
It's not about the actual contrast and colours of the screen itself, it's about how the contrast seems worsened by scattered light. Colors and contrast seems washed out in many light situations.
>>55028499
I see what you mean, but I cannot say I noticed this, to be honest.
The only thing I notice are reflections, I really tried to use reflective screens, but I just get annoyed. However good matte screen protector foils can be had for a few bucks, so even I buy glossy devices nowadays. I just make them matte manually.

>>55028578
>Pros need F keys
do you ever have out of body experiences where you realize what you're saying sounds totally fucking retarded and myopic?
the most concrete you can get while still being theoretically relevant is that "professionals need user interfaces that reward expert familiarity". beyond that is just implementation. historically, that has involved function keys, but that reliance has been on a precipitous decline for the past several years/decades. there are too many shortcut commands and too few function keys for them to be relevant anymore, hence the super key and its various combination uses.
when apple dropped optical drives in the MBA and later the rMBP /g/ had fucking panic attacks claiming that they were being too hasty in dropping optical drives. i would argue that dropping physical Fn keys is less controversial than that was (the MBA like a year or two before the absence of an optical drive stopped rendering it completely irrelevant as an option for mainstream consumers).
Stop being so dogmatic. and stop using anonymity to justify making indefensible claims. i can't believe that you would stand by these sentiments if we could return and evaluate them 6 or 12 months later, so stop making such stupid arguments.

Posting your disapproval of threads is the most counterproductive option on 4chan. If you don't like a thread, either ignore it (maybe even hide it), or report it.
Otherwise you're just bumping the thread and begging people to bump it again and again to reply to the incendiary shitpost you just made. If you really disapprove of talk about a brand you don't like, posting in that thread is fucking retarded.

The real issue with the Mac Pro is that it is not dual socket. Thunderbolt is supposed to take over the PCI-E expandability, but that ruins the form factor because you need a box to put the shit in. They should have just restyled the old Mac Pro and added support for Sandy Bridge Xeons. That would have been fine.
>>55029955
>The real issue with the Mac Pro is that it is not dual socket.
Yep
Guess they couldnt squeeze in two so they said fuck it
>Thunderbolt is supposed to take over the PCI-E expandability, but that ruins the form factor because you need a box to put the shit in.
This is the biggest issue
If that had done it as a Mac Pro mini I'd be fine with it, but to go from a workstation I can cram pretty much everything I need into it to "lol just buy external cases" is fucking unreal
>>55030359
Agreed. If the current Mac Pro was like a Mac Pro Mini that cost less, I would consider it. It's not like there isn't a single socket workstation market, everyone has one, but to offer no dual socket, fuck off expandable machine? Madness. I don't know who is responsible for this, or what they're doing to OS X, but they need to be replaced.
I'm actually in the process of finding a 2012 Mac Pro for a decent price. It's not as easy as I would have thought.

>>55030488
Xeons always lag behind consumer CPUs by a generation or two. The difference between a Haswell Xeon and a current equivalent Xeon is tiny (on the order of 5% difference) because Intel has been focused on power consumption instead of speed increases.
>>55030558
All you ever do is shit up threads. Fuck off and let people discuss shit they want to discuss. Feel free to hide the thread.

I'd buy a trashcan if I could justify spending like 4.5 thousand dollars on something that out of date. Plus I still need the PCI-E expansion. Dual socket trashcan could be done pretty easily, just make it taller.

What matters to me is which OS provides an acceptable terminal emulator, GCC / Clang support, and GNU tools. If I had a PC laptop, I'd be throwing Linux on it, rather than live in a neutered development environment.

No innovation kill a product. That said, a drastic change will also kill a product. There are plenty of changes they could make to their lineup that would be welcome such as a better keyboard (I'm not a fan of how the keys feel on my 2014 Macbook Pro from work), more powerful variants of i7 processors, add a touch screen to make the lid even more rock solid (and help with iOS app development), shrink the motherboard to allow for more battery space, and more that I haven't thought of before. There is always room for innovation.

Well, of course, I agree. Gaymers and mediocre programmers that require GUIs to do their jobs need Windows. I've met plenty of programmers that are lost without Visual Studio. They NEED Windows to do their job.
I'd never hire any of them though.

>Macs are fully compatible with third party mouses anyways.
I wouldn't say so. My RAZOR mouse sucked dick on the Mac kept double clicking all the time and some times wouldn't click at all.
>>55036439
Macs are fully compatible with 3rd party mice as a mousepad only. You apparently did it wrong
>>55036439
The Mac is compatible with your RAZOR; the RAZOR driver for the Mac sucked dick.
Was that why you bought it?
>>55036434
Visual Studio is no good for anything but a learning tool. I use Sublime text for all of my programming now. Tons of useful features. A coworker showed it to me one day and I haven't looked back since.
>>55036430
FWIW VS is a very good IDE. It's just sad to see developers live entirely inside it and grow dependent on it.
Ask them to remote in to a server and live debug a hung service for diagnostic purposes, and see what happens. Dollars to donuts they are going to start installing full blown GUIs (DebugDiag, probably) before they even get started. Hopefully they don't need anything that requires a system restart!
>>55036496
Yeah, really, all you need is an editor and know-how of how to interact with your compiler and build system. You'll learn a lot more and get a lot further when you aren't limited by what's exposed to you through menus and buttons.
>>55036400
woah, calm down with the run on sentences there, buddy.
it's the proprietary hardware companies that do all the fucking hard work to maximize size/power/heat efficiency, not razer you little dumb cuckeroonie. you'll see a ramp up in the market with this kind of hardware because of the competitive industry. razer pays out these hardware companies to let em use their latest hardware in their computers so they can shill themselves forward.
besides, at least i don't buy into the shill like an angsty gaming cuck
>>55036540
No shit other companies make the hardware, but Razer designs the shell, the motherboard, the cooling system. You could not do better yourself and if you can, please do. I like innovation

What's your point here?

It's not the world's fault that China has a massive workforce and the manufacturing capability to mass produce just about anything
>>55021338

The blade's overall design has taken massive cues from the mbp; you'd be delusional to think otherwise.

Lenovo introduced an adaptive kwyboard with the 2013 X1 Carbon and proved to be a failure. Why do you think the Apple version of that would be successful?
>>55036982
>Why do you think the Apple version of that would be successful?
Do you need to ask?
>>55036736
No, it was workers fault. Too much labor laws and unions killed local production. I really doubt if Trump will effectively move the production back to America.

>>55022312
Apple sells you more than just a laptop. They treat the software side of things as part of the hardware.
They can't simply release a new piece of hardware without having a ton of bullshit software gimmicks to to tie into it.
>>55037037
>bash
Yea, this is outdated, at least on my 10.9 install.
>the whole coreutils
They're BSD coreutils, so, I don't know what you're talking about.
>gcc
Doesn't actually exist, anymore, the gcc command is just linked to clang.
>>55037004
I propose spamming Twitter/Facebook saying that Lenovo introduced the adaptive keyboard first before the Apple fanboys start saying "OMG this is amazing, the best thing introduced ever!"
Most non-Apple innovations were unnoticed because bad advertising.
>>55037068
>BSD coreutils
So apple can't even add the functionality most *nix-like distributions already provide and what power users expect from a *nix system. It is clear Applel got "muh UNIX certification" by doing the minimum effort.
>>55037007
What's the problem with him saying the complete truth?. Objectively, America(the whole continent) and Europe can't compete with China's workforce.
But yeah, that post should have been written on /pol/

This is true, but at least getting updated tools is as easy as `brew install git gcc gdb ...`
>>55037068
> gcc
> Doesn't actually exist (by default)
yeah, and there's nothing wrong with Clang, but for those that want the complete GNU toolchain, it's just a `brew install` command away (see above)
FWIW I can't stand lldb and would rather use gdb at the very least.

I haven't had any problems with it. I let OS updates sit in queue for 1-2 weeks though out of laziness, which is also usually enough time for things like >>55037475 to get noticed or fixed.

That's good if it still works then. I have a 2009 MBP. It still runs great surprisingly because I haven't taken care of it. Snow Leopard is just slowly becoming obsolete, and when I upgraded OS it slowed it down hard. Time to move on, I guess.

Posix is a meme.
99% of desktop runs Windows.
99% of mobile runs Linux.
99% of servers runs Linux.
Being posix compliant at this point is just having a subsystem compatible with other macs and nothing else.

Which is POSIX compliant.

Which is POSIX compliant.

And nobody cares whether they are POSIX compliant.
I notice you didn't make any ludicrous claims about Linux on the desktop; <2% and all that.
But they are POSIX compliant.
