Yea because I wanna look at my keyboard instead of the screen when checking my health or ammo. Clearly.

I actually think the touch bar is a really neat idea and if the laptop didn't cost 12k and didn't have OSX on it I would gladly buy it

This. It looks cool. But it's not very practical.

Part of me thinks Apple made that stupid piece of shit just so that attention whores would advertise for them with things like this.

The touchbar is a cringey cop out from implementing touch screens.

Apple is sinking deeper into the shit.

if you actually think that's useful, you're a fucking retard.

Touch screens on laptops are trash. They just are.
You can't have an OS that works well with mouse and keyboard and also with touch inputs. This is a good halfway point.

It is a great way to show off your gamer cred to your fellow gamers

fuck you apha, no one likes u

normally agree but Apple is for fat fingered normalfags to fondle up with grease.

...

But Doom is extremely problematic. I don't think that stuff would fly at .

Name one genuinely useful thing you can do with a touch screen or a "touch bar" on a laptop, when it's in laptop mode.
One.
The fact that Surfaces can convert to a tablet sounds handy but I still don't see any use for touch in regular usage.

There's plenty of really good examples in the ad.
Especially with Adobe products, quick color select, scrolling through video frames and shit like that

Surfaces are mostly shit, but they just added an interesting thing which you basically place on the screen and depending on the program that's open you can do a bunch of stuff with it.

all of this is mostly pointless for gaming or even for professional usage, but for artistic/media work they're both pretty top notch additions.

Nobody does any of that. Drawing and digital painting is the only real use and in that case it's a dedicated peripheral.

And you say this as someone with experience on this subject or just because?
I've been working with designers, artists, video editors, photographers and a ton of other trash like that for around 4 years.
And a lot of these people are very excited about this feature because it cuts out a lot of annoying stuff that you would have to do with a mouse.

They must be mentally retarded then. Especially the video editor.

You really sound like you know what you're talking about
not

Nobody is going to use a fucking touchscreen for manipulating anything in post production. It's drawing only and you're full of shit. You don't work with anyone because if you did you wouldn't make such blatantly false statements.

Absolutely hilarious.

Since this is the closest thing to a Doom thread up right now, can anyone post the Doom thread picture with all the custom .wads and engines?

I don't think you even know what you're talking about lol
Don't know what to tell ya bud, that's how it is

YOu just described Apples extremely successful marketing strategy which they've been using for the past 20 or so years.

Apples whole gig is "WOW look how COOL AND HIP I AM for purchasing this APPLE PRODUCT! Let me goto the coffee shop so I can show it off to everyone!"

Excuse me?

Stylus, finger it doesn't matter. Nobody uses them. And you lied about working with people who do.

I didn't
But I honestly wouldn't know how to prove it to you without giving away my identity or where I work
So you're free to think what you want

Apple aren't idiots, they know what their audience wants, and even if the shit they want sounds absolutely retarded to you doesn't mean it's retarded for the people they're designing that shit for.

That's probably you back in 2006

For normalfags maybe. Anyone who isn't retarded knows that you can use arrow keys for scrubbing the timeline, and if you want pinpoint accuracy you either use a mouse or type in the time.

Most people I talk to don't know jack shit about keyboards. PAGE UP/DOWN, HOME/END, fuck most people can't even use a NUMPAD for doing calculations, they click around or use the top numbers like dumbasses.

Macs are for dumasses. Everything they 'innovate' just proves this more and more.

The mental image of a video editor touching his screen is enough evidence to prove you're full of shit.

It's not for precision scrolling of course. if you need to go frame by frame that's not what you will use.
But for fast scrolling? Or moving quickly through the timeline?

I mean shit by putting that in the touchbar you also free up about half of the screen. That's already useful as fuck

Wow. Amazing invention as always, Apple. How come no one ever came up with the idea of a screen in your keyboard.

Just like that Logitech one I had over a decade ago

Modifier + Arrow key makes it go faster/slower etc. This is not an issue. This is a solution to a problem that isn't even a problem in terms of input controllers. Hell if there's anything anyone should innovate on it's the players themselves not using more keys or scrolling through the video smoothly (they do it like a car in the wrong gear even though we know they're capable of chimpmunk voice fast forward). I've been watching YT vids with MPV and [/] keys are to slow/speed it up. Great for slow motion and catching single frames. I'm sure there's more keys for more functions.

My point is that keyboard is versatile enough and players don't utilise them as much as they should.

I was at a recordeded interview where they show my interview back to me and discuss things. The interviewer kept pausing/playing the video by using the touchpad to navigate the cursor to the play button on the player instead of just pressing spacebar. I reminded them twice before I gave up because reminding them any more times would make me a dickhead.

These mac solutions are for the stupids. No matter how much shit you add the normalfag will always use the dumbest slowest way even if there's solutions that are as old as typewriters. There's always people who type google into a google search box on the browser to get full-page google to then search youtube instead of just typing youtube.com

Just as comparison, in action games you rarely peek at the lower screen in a 3DS.


This.

You know what else you can do that with?
A mouse.
Or a touchpad.

Which one of you is lying?

...

You actually made me check if I accidentally ended up on halfchan.

my mom likes it so she can poke the screen while i'm trying to help her fix her virus ridden laptop.

Macfags won a long time ago
:^)

The touch bar would be cool if there were the F keys as well, especially if it was user-scriptable rather than just application-specific. It's shit for vidya, of course, but I could see it being pretty helpful in the same way that the DS bottom screen was for productivity means (ie. auxiliary functionality that doesn't need to be on the screen, but is useful to have available on a cursory glance). Managing vim tabs through it is one obvious use of it that I'd appreciate, or using it as a quick overview and switcher of workspaces, or simply moving the taskbar to the touch bar would be an interesting use.

This shit is never going to get any support outside of OSX though, so it's going to turn into a developer clusterfuck where the same functionality needs to be programmed in at least 2 different ways if you happen to want to target the latest macbook pro as well as any other computer in existence.
It's a fun looking novelty with some real possibilities for good use (that will, of course, never be fully realized) but is going to be killed by fragmentation and the fact that it's never going to be properly used by more than a handful of third-party applications at the most, unless Apple seriously wants to go the Microsoft route and throw money at developers to support it.

Fuck touch screens. I hate that shit

Shit thread, let's make it interesting
What would Holla Forums do to her?

I'm a sucker for these fakes. It's probably the lowest, shittiest form of pornography but I still bust a nut to this.

The dick always wills it, user.

trips confirms it

Imagine an RTS where instead of using fucking hotkeys you can just use the damn buttons on screen. I've been begging for this for fucking ever.

that seems like it would be painfully slow in a rts

Fuck yes, it’s like it’s 2006 again.

Laptop thread?

Just got m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16834234412, how well should it work for emulation and some med-low settings 1080p gaming?

It really IS like it’s 2006 again.

you'll have performance issues with ps2 emulation but for lighter emulators/consoles it's going to do just fine
i don't know about new games but who cares about them since they're all shit, your mainly going to run into issues with vidya that can't make use of your low clock speed quad core but otherwise med-low will do

...

...

Man I wonder what she's up to these days.

Prostitution. if you're at the right place you might get her to wear the lazytown costume and peg you if you want

Screw this, make it a bit relevant at least.

I really don't think I should be feeling nostalgia about smut gifs, but oh well.

nice fucking aspect ratio

God I fucking hate touch screens. These days everyone needs to wipe their greasy fucking fingers on my laptop screen when they have a question.

SHILL

We sure do talk about 4chan a lot for people that profess to not care about it, huh.

...

BURN THIS FUCKING THREAD

No thanks, I'm actually intelligent with my money and don't enjoy wasting it on outdated hardware

But the pre installed apps and the slickness user.

I can't get over the concept of a touch screen that they want you to use your FINGERS with.
People are naturally oils and accrue dirt on their appendages, so now you want me to rub my filthy fingers across the screen smudging and sullying it further than normally?
No thanks, I'd rather just use a mouth and keypad and be sure to cover my mouth when sneezing\coughing.

The one who's shilling for Apple.

...

holy fak is this really real

...

big

...

It's nice how nowadays you can play Marathon on OS X/Winders/Linux.

I could never get into DooM tbh, gimme low gravity and a plot and 1000 projectiles to dodge and I'm happy, fam.

They even increased the price of the last generation Mac Book to $1,200. I've even heard that people in the UK have to pay more because of a "brexit fee".

'cept you'll have one hand holding the pen or mouse and the other on the keyboard for hotkeys or on the tablet's sidebar if you use it, can't imagine why you would though.

It's faster to just click anything not hotkeyed than it is to raise you hand to the screen, press, and back down.

And yet they still have no games.

...

It has dwarf fortress, rimworld, hands down the best retroarch frontend (openemu), best dosbox wrapper by a mile (boxy) with no hassle mt-32 emulation that even supports the custom LCD screen messages that developers programmed for the mt-32's screen. PS2 and later emulation is no go but you get all the PC games worth playing (DF, Rimworld, 4X, Factorio) and little AAA junk. You're only missing out on triple A trash. No good games worth playing require more than an integrated GPU.

Doom is shit though.

did anyone else think you could actually play original doom in the touchbar? That would've been pretty cool

I have to use OSX for work. How can a POSIX compliant operating system be so bad?

nice meme kid

that depens on what posix means

I have no words for the stupidity.

You have selected the wrong model.

Do you put that into your urethra?

this
OSX comes with an office suite for free (unliek winblows where you have to pay $200 extra). So really, the price is more like 1300 because you get that free. And you can save another 100 with studenty dicscounts

...

How long until someone gets Wolfenstein 1D running on the touchbar?

please let it happen

92 days and 5 hours from now

...

...

why is all doom r34 either gross or anime

wtf would "option 3" be? if it's realistic it'll be gross. r63 doomguy?

That's actually a good shoop

Spoiler nigga
Just give a Hell Knight tits and give it a slightly feminine, it's simple.

>slightly feminine *look
I need to read my posts before sending them

it would, not good though, just better

What makes you think I'm going to sully Doom with fapping even if it's a cute anime girl monster?

And it will still render video almost twice as fast as a fully specced windows laptop with i7 and the works.

It's not hipsters buying this shit. It's clueless middle class morons and college/university kids.

Actually it's developers.

This thread is shit. Everyone start posting these images I love them but I'm short on them.

If you call fags shitting out node.js based websites developers, I guess.

Fantastic.
I miss these pictures.
I wish I had more saved.

You either pay 0 because you aren't a retard (e.g. not you) or you pay 0 because you go with LibreOffice.

I saved a few from a thread aobut them a year or two ago

You're thinking of linux cucks.

You'd be surprised. Most development houses use Macbooks because they are running decent hardware, are running a UNIX operating system, and are a laptop - nothing else meets those requirements.
Developing on Unix is generally much easier than on Windows (better support), and Linux on a laptop is a clusterfuck. Especially when you have hundreds or thousands of work computers in the company, it becomes much easier to keep everything working if they are all running similar hardware and software, another thing Macs provide. On top of this parallels is a very good windows emulator.
I say all of this having only 'owned' Mac laptops that were given to me by the company I work for.

Apple is the largest tech company in the world. It's incredibly unlikely they will go under any time soon.

They're the most profitable company in the world period.

You do know Apple is the biggest tax payer in the United States right?

And yet they still don't pay enough.

Sad. Is this your first election? You'll learn.

...

Shh, let Holla Forums dream. They already think their shitposting is the sole reason Hillary lost.

taxing is an armed robbery

You lost, get over it. :^)

Next you'll tell me how intuitive and easy to use touchpads are.

Come on, the touch bar is a fucking dumb idea, if they were smart enough, they'd add a touch screen on their overpriced laptop. Too bad Apple is a bunch of arrogant assholes.
The touch bar is a gimmick like those OLED keycaps from 15 years ago.

Why does it matter if it's physical? It's in the same spot and is the same size. It's hardly ever pressed too on macs.
That's the point of software.

NOW LISTEN CLOSELY
