  • New MBP 14 and 16 rumors

    From Bob Roberts@1337:3/135 to All on Friday, January 15, 2021 10:59:07
    Rumor is the new MacBook Pro with M1 (Apple Silicon) chip will come in 14 and 16 inch sizes, and include

    - a RETURN to MagSafe charging!
    - More ports! Not just USB-C anymore?
    - Removal of the touchbar

    I for one welcome these potential changes. The worst thing Johhny Ive did was convince apple to remove virturally every port from their laptops so they looked "sleek".

    I always wanted Apple to come out with an external keyboard that supported Touchbar, since I rarely use my laptops without an external monitor. But they never did.

    This sounds interesting...

    Oh yes, all of the above, 100% yes!

    I agree, I think they did what they had to do to realise what was really needed
















































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































    and what was just superficial.

    I always thought I LIKED the touchbar, but so many users hate it...

    I never owned an MBP with one, so I guess I'll never know... could never bring myself to spend the extra $$$ on the MBP, as I always went with the $1299 versions. :/

    Aside from Linux boxes that I've come to love and OWN, Apple is my computing choice... I am not afraid of the new ARM stuff and have seen overwhelmingly good reviews about them so far. Even the $699 mini.
