Get well soon. You’re a G.
I love this Mac-centric series. Talking about the Dock? My vice.
Bring back the pcmcia slot
I don’t think the SD card is coming back. Apple has been pushing for wireless everything for a really long time.
That would be a huge miscalculation IMO.
Well… they just added UHS-II SD card support on the iMac Pro, crossing my fingers they will release it on the 2018 MBP
Literally tons of people don’t have access to wireless.
Yeah, this is mac pro, people who uses it for what it is, are shooting with real cameras, not phones.
You are probably right but photographer on the go needs to carry a SD card reader and an adapter to USB-C …. I have a feeling they are more pushing on seeing adapters as wireless between DSLR and MBP isn’t the best solution if you need to transfer tons of RAW files.
This channel is awesome dude! Respect!
ya
Sorry to say but touch bar is really useful when you are doing something productive like making music.writing, chatting!
You cant use face ID in dark but you can surely use touch ID! Though I admit its camera needs an upgrade! And something like miniature version of megasafe type detachable port USB-C should be inbuilt in one of the four ports!
FaceID works in pitch black.
9to5Mac facts
Yeah I like the touch bar way more than I thought I would. I expected it to be gimmicky, but I have found myself making endless use of it and could easily see myself purchasing another just for the touch bar alone. It’s the perfect compromise because I detest touch screen laptops, other than hybrids like the surface.
love the MacBook Pro keyboard!
The new keyboard is awesome.
ya its solid
It’s the man behind the voice.
Who else is still waiting to buy their next MacBook Pro until Apple returns a MagSafe-like charging/data port?
Nick Byrd you and I know it’s not coming back man
Nick Byrd I forgot to mention about that! One of the best inventions ever, I cannot believe they dumped it! For a USB C port..
and the glowing logo too
Agreed, I also cannot believe they dumped the 17′ model and the matt screen but I am probably too old for these new MacBook(almost)Pro
Nick Byrd will not come back. It is too handy to charge MacBook Pro with eGPU or charger in any port
And no I don’t want thicker MacBook Pro the battery life is fine!
If they release MBP 2018 with SD card, i’m coming back to windows
Say what?
9to5Mac i bought 2016 MBP w/TouchBar and it’s frustrating it didn’t’ have a SD card.. i mean, common Apple!
Great video. Really liking this series.
I agree with every item on this list. Especially that SD card slot
I agree… The Pro model could be thicker if that means extra functionality, overall better specs, and more IO options. People who want extra thin devices can use the Macbook Air and 100 dongles.
I agree with you, but those people should buy the 12 inch MacBook, not the Air. The Air is dead, and Apple should declare it as such instead of milking it further.
Ummm.. Apple does not bring features back that we consumers want back. Pardon me but this video is quite pointless. Apple fans just have to move on, or just accept the changes whether they like it or not; or come up with something to get the features that you want.
Why aren’t all these segments their own videos? All great content
I just wish I had a MacBook
Thats all!
