Apple engineer talks about the latest Macbook

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

His laugh makes me want to stab my eardrums with a sharp object.

My angry Luxembourger friend wrote this....

'Apple's new MacBook has exactly one (1) USB-C connector. Great (designer) John Ivy, this sounds like a massive fail for all audio people and professionals, wait, actually everybody. Especially coupled with the fact that your [expensive/ugly/overrated/cumbersome] 'adapters' suck and are unreliable as f***. Makes me not wanna buy a new LaPomme product'

Well Jobs would be turning in his grave....

I watched this video without sound yesterday. I was confused, to say the least.

Not one of those people would be on a standard Macbook. They would use the MacBook Pro. The standard MacBook has always been a piece of crap really...

What's fucked about this one is with all the drawbacks it has 2 things over the macbook air. the retina screen and the pressure touchpad.

the screen is cool... but limited to 12" while the air is 13". the pressure touchpad is novel, but more for professionals and not standard macbook users really.

So... those two half improvements... worth the $400 cost difference? especially when combined with the drawbacks like a modified keyboard, no ports, a weaker cpu, less battery life... and so on? hahahaha. no.

I like how you suggest a relationship between 'professionals' and a Mac product. Not something you often hear.
