Doesn't Apple already have a handheld? It's called the iPhone.  Joking aside though - there are a bunch of pretty good after-market joystick attachments aren't there? |

They should make a portable PlayStation... They could call it the PlayStation Portable!

Primed to buy a new MacBook Pro, as long as they’ve ditched the touchbar.

You know, if they decided they wanted to have a go at the Pippin 2, it'd have the chance of being more successful these days. Not only has Apple devoured a much larger part of the marketplace in recent years, but so has Bandai, with their purchase of Namco's studios a decade or so ago.
And with the success of Apple Arcade...
Give me Ridge Racer 8, Apple. That's what I'm getting at.

I’m very excited that Apple have just invented playlists.

If true what they're saying right now in the live stream, the integrated graphics of the new M1 Max chip murder even high-end discrete laptop graphics.

These graphs are pretty meaningless. Just tell me how many tabs I can have open before it grinds to a halt.

Anything with an M1 Max will cost more than my house.

Good to see we are finally getting ports back. Not to mention the touchbar is finally dead.

I kind of liked the touchbar as well, but I've also never really found myself using F-keys, so something more context sensitive worked well for me.

I've not lusted over a new Mac for a while. That 14" MacBook Pro has got me rather excited though. In fact, it's almost making me regret picking up an iPad Pro.

£2.8k for the cheapest config with M1 Max. Ouch.

Robust pricing as always. I’m sure that the M1 Max chip will absolutely fly in the right workloads, but how many people will actually need it?

Bargain of a price, that.

Cool, so they’ve admitted that usb c charging is a bit shit and dropping the sd slot was a mistake and brought back hdmi

They do. The theory is they moved it from tomorrow to today because Google has an event tomorrow.

The Touch Bar is gone! Fuckadoodle do, they’ve actually listened to what people want. The 2018 15” I’ve got might be the first one I’ve binned before it’s time, the poor gimped little fucker

They already did? They stopped selling models with a butterfly keyboard 1.5 years ago.

The work MacBook Pro I use has the post-butterfly keyboard (I’m almost sure!) but it has a really low click-height that makes it feel - I dunno - a little flimsy or plastic-y? I much preferred the keyboards on the older Mac laptops. |

Nothing for me this year. Waiting for the new Mac Mini. Look forward to the YouTube videos to see how powerful the M1 Pro Max is.

I assumed all Apple laptops have this keyboard. |

The older laptops had much more travel on the keyboards, like the 2013 one I still use occasionally, but you won’t get that ever again now space is so tight

I do like 120hz. |

I’m generally loathe to dip in for the 1st gen but the SD slot is tempting me greatly. Plus some actual buttons instead of that stupid touch bar
