I don't believe it.
>>110187262Habeeb it!
>PROLED>A screen come true
>>110187321Amazing that the image they use is what a display looks like when it cracks. They know this is a crappy release. The real MBPro update is the M7Pro chip probably next fall.
In the future when everything is SaaS, apple will simply sell designer screens.
Locking new stuff behind their old chips is a bit silly. Think I'll be picking up an m6 mbp without the funny touch screen.
https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/proled-xdr-display/Wow, screen looks awesome. Very PROLED. $3049 for what I paid $1999 earlier this year for (pre RAM kike).
>>110187394But M5 Pro and M5 Max are more powerful than the base M6
>We're glowing
>>110187440I don't want or need those.
>>110187252Genuinely had no idea until this week that there were third worlders whose entire psyche is built on convincing themselves Apple is actually worse than their Chinese spyware junk
>>110187252Lmao still not using sd express. Lmao, lol, even. No 5G. Lmao. iToddlers just keep losing. Just wait until the muh retina exposes lg's trash tandem oled sub pixel arrangement.
>>110187464The other benefit to M5 Pro over M6 is probably gonna be the internal dual fan layout. M5 was single fan I believe.
New 12TB SSD ceiling, but still only 128GB RAM ceiling. Where 192 or 256? Pussies! SHORT THE STOCK.
>>110187480Oh that's RIGHT. No microSD Express! Well, I'm sticking with my M5 Pro non-PROLED display model then.
>>110187252Touch is useless unless it's a 2-in-1, which it almost certainly won't be.
>16in>Nanotexture>M5 Max 18/40>128GB RAM>16TB SSD>Good used Honda Accord
lmao imagine actually advertising this crap.>yeah we made the best display or some shit>make sure to smudge it up with your greasy fingers for the best experience.
>>110187496I could probably get by with a MBA man. I just don't find 60hz acceptable.
This custom laptop QD-OLED panel's using the older triangular RGB subpixel layout.Maybe the pixel density will offset the suboptimal text rendering.https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/10/apple-unveils-groundbreaking-macbook-pro-with-proled-xdr-display/It's still for suckers.
>>110187544why...?even the new ASUS Tandem OLED displays have regular RGB stripes now.
And still no FaceID. The fuck is Apple wasting so much R&D on even?
>>110187252Anyone here own a Modbook? It was a company whose entire business model was selling Macbooks with touchscreens added to them, and they went bust like 15 years ago there just wasn't enough demand.
>>110187537hahah made me kekI'll wait for 6 months - 1 year when the OG models come out and people find flaws so they release New macbook x or s version, similar to our when they released the version with the touch bar and then removed it and updated the buttons. I have a feeling the OG release models will flunk out / have issues.
>lease for $11,000
>>110187560Not on laptop sized displays yet and viewing angles suffer from severe colour shift
>>110187565Lmao
>>110187596Does the torta come with the lease?
>>110187646I imagine you get one of the two milkies. If you go through the Education Store though you probably get both.
>>110187611>and viewing angles suffer from severe colour shiftbrutal.
Meanwhile VAIO releases a laptop with a touchscreen that at least has some use since you can use it in tablet mode. Basically the same design they had a decade ago when Windows 8 first came out though.
>>110187537Touch laptops came and died years ago because it's insanely uncomfortable to hold your arm up to poke your screen. Only convertible laptops make sense with touch.
>>110187710Yes. Somehow even Microsoft understood this while Apple doesn't.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnZI5uUSdEo
>>110187252Is it good? My company can buy a new laptop for me and if I don't the money will go away so better consoom it, if it's good I will buy it
>>110187354Maybe it's a cheeky reference to how crap they are at screens lately (see iPhone Duo…)
>>110187755Ah fuck it's touch screen, never mind
>>110187755Do you already use Macs? If so then it's a no-brainer. Otherwise, why bother?
>>110187755>>110187778It's all the stuff you get with the non PROLED model, but now with PROLED and it's lighter weight too. Go for it!
>>110187252They moved too far away from the POSIX compatibility that made macOS great back in the day.Apple keeps locking that down while pushing their new way to do things (TM), but that way is just a massive step backwards.
The dead fag wasn't wrong about gorilla arm. Apple is dead.
>>110187799They just stopped paying the UNIX Consortium for a pointless certificate. It still has all those POSIX underpinnings.It's not like you can't open the terminal emulator and nothing works anymore because the OS so radically not POSIX-like.
>>110187814All the tools are decades old because they stopped updating the GNU tools when they moved to GPLv3.You'd think they would at least move to the Rust clones of those tools, but no such luck.>b-but you can just install those yourselfYes, but no software targeting macOS will ever expect you to. Every script you write has to be bash 3.2 compatible forever which is before a whole bunch of useful features.Most POSIX stuff exists on iOS, too, but that OS tells you much about where macOS is headed in the future. Locked down in the name of "security", because retard normies can be tricked into running a script with root permissions, root is increasingly unable to change system settings.
>>110187252what kind of faggotranny diaper eating bourgeoisie trust fund baby uses poor as an offense in 2026
>>110187544It's also running macos don't they have support for custom pixell layouts?254 ppi is too low for you surely
>>110187801It's funny because there's a dozen different ways to design the display hinge so the touchscreen is actually useful, but Apple just stuck with the shittiest method. Lazy? Incompetent? Who even knows anymore.
They deliberately avoided showing people drawing on the screen. Seems to imply you can't draw on it. If you can't draw on it, then what's the freaking point?
>>110188055I am struggling to find a use case for a touch screen macbook besides drawing.
>>110187252My daily is a 64core Threadripper with 512GB DDR5 and quad RTX 5090s.T.former dual xeon mac pro owner (back when apple made impressive shit)
>>110187935The same kind of person who thinks having $2000 in disposable income makes them rich: a teen.
>>110187252>literally just another boring laptopMy work offers to get me a new one every year. I refuse because the 30 minutes it would take to set it up is not worth it to me. And this is at work, and I'm rarely ever busy.
>>110187537Imagine how much the screen wobbles with every poke from an obese American sausage finger.
>>110187837>You'd think they would at least move to the Rust clones of those tools, but no such luck.When you look at the issues Ubuntu has had doing that I don't blame them.Let Ubuntu jump off of that cliff first. Apple can pick it up later when it's complete if they want.Everyone uses Homebrew on Macs though. There's nothing stopping you from compiling whatever utilities you want.
Now that I think about it, drawing on a laptop would probably be uncomfortable. What if they let you draw on their Studio Displays? I could see that being popular with professional illustrators. They're used to spending thousands of dollars on Wacom display tablets.
>>110188145It's not even that. It's the smudges that'd drive me nuts. I have an iPad Pro and it's smudged to fuck and back.
>>110188198Just wipe off the smudges.
>>110188013all of these weird hinges are too fragile, apple knows their customer base is tarded
>>110187537wtf is this shit?posted from my 16 inch macbook pro btw
>not even 180 degrees hingeinto the trash it goes
>>110188389The Fujitsu maybe, but the standard flip around hinge really isn't. I used a first gen Thinkpad Yoga since college mostly drawing diagrams for notes, and the hinge is still solid, it's just the laptop itself is too slow. If Apple hasn't managed to create a stronger hinge when they just released the Duo, then that's on their own incompetence.
>tandem oled>advertising true tone as a display selling point>not listing coverage percentage for DCI-P3 or Adobe RGB>almost $1k more than the regular pro modelslol?
>>110187252>>110187321looks like the menubar is taller now kek
>>110188389As flawed as the Duo hinge is, you can't tell me Apple managed to create that yet they can't create a durable 360 hinge for a laptop when basically every shitty laptop OEM has been making them for a decade.
>>110187252I have a m1 pro and m1 max, still in perfect condition after all these years. Don't feel the need to upgrade yet
A touchscreen Studio Display that you can draw on? It's interesting to consider. I never met anyone who tried Microsoft's massive Surface Studio desktops back in the day, but I always wondered what those would be like to draw on.
>>110188399testing iphone apps and using iphone mirroring is literally the only useful thing I can come up with. From other touch laptops, it's also convenient sometimes when chilling to scroll a page with thumb rather than trackpad when sitting like a shrimp. That is it
>>110188597Playing the emulated Love Live mobile rhythm games that rely on touch controlsThat's all I can think of
>>110187537I have a 13inch ipad pro and the smudging is horrendous. Only useable with a pencil, which applies to this case as well. Thankfully you can get a perfectly fine made in China pencil for 8 dollars.
>>110188506oled is an obvious downgrade, only good for watching videos and playing games. it has worse text rendering, it has terrible low frequency pwm flickering. it has banding and burn in. you cannot calibrate OLED panels, they degrade and shift colors in real time. only retards want oled.
>>110187252>in a year or two random people will smear their disgusting cheeto-encrusted fatty fingers all over my macbook's display, assuming it has touch
>>110188624why do you need a $3500 clunky macbook to play shitty mobile games when a phone or tablet can do it 1000 times better?
>>110188648i really just dont know who this is for, the current macbook pros already have good color coverage for people who care about accuracy. touch just seems like a stupid thing to add as well.
>>110187710>Touch laptops came and died years ago because it's insanely uncomfortable to hold your arm up to poke your screenevery single person under 22 or so expects displays to have touch functionalityipads took over most of university for taking noteslaptops devoured desktops and are being devoured by smartphones, all with touch4chin is as divorced from reality as orange reddit, who can't fucking fathom that 40 years old boomers who grew up on amica have a different relationship with computers than people who were born after iphone was released
>>110188743yet you never see anyone using laptop with a touchscreen
>>110188773you don't go outside or talk to anyone
>>110188795i go outside i've never seen anyone using touchscreen on a laptop
>>110187321This looks like a cracked screen. Apple should have given me $100,000 just to tell them this ad looks like shit.
>>110188864That’s what I thought too when I saw it.People might not realize it, but macOS 27 can support touch controls on the paired iPad. That’s better to me than this.
>>110188070It is for iPad babies that are now in college/university/whatever
They finally gave up and gave it a real touchscreen?
>>110188999they needed to bump the price even higher, so they just added bunch of useless gimmicks
>>110187252>we're glowing>cracked screen ad that says POOgoyim will still buy it
>macs are arm now>added touchscreen>its not a convertiblei cannot comprehend what is going on at apple, just merge the ipad and macbook air/neo/pro lines into convertible laptops. save macos mode for the pros if you want to segmentmaxx. nobody gives 2/3 of a fuck about touchscreen clamshell laptops.
>>110188521of course, because the pill cutout is lower than the notch. it's the same deal on iphones. totally retarded design.
>>110187310I-I'M GONNA HABIB
>>110187446/thread
>>110189294They'll gate it with biyearly upgrades. In two years the Macbook Ultra will get a 360 hinge. In four years they will add pencil support. Maybe in 6 years they'll finally add FaceID. If iPad Mini fans waited years for a shitty 60Hz OLED display, they can wait a few more for a 120hz OLED display. And then a few more years and maybe the iPad Mini will also get FaceID.
>>110189294>nobody gives 2/3 of a fuck about touchscreen clamshell laptops.It was cool for a bit on my XPS13 years ago when they were doing that:>Look, Mah I can scroll with my fingers!!!The novelty wears off though and you realise it's useless
>>110189427lenovo/dell/hp plus asus etc had convertibles and windows 8 was touch-first and mega flopped 10+ years agolenovo also had the touch bar shit 10 years ago and nobody blinked (the g2 x1 carbon had an e-ink capacitive function row or something IIRC)they already know this is a flop. why even bother.
>>110189511>they already know this is a flopwhich is why they still make and sell tons of 2-in-1s, dumbass
>>110187252If I had money, trust me, there is better shit to buy than a mac.
>>110189598Such as?
>>110187252>Duo pixel pincher>Touchscreen MacWhat the absolute fuck is Ternus doing?
>>110189294Macbook is for production, ipad is for consumption.
>>110189667The fuck you need a touchscreen on a macbook for production for? Test game apps like fruit ninja? Any 3D work is ass on macs too due to weak GPUs.
>>110189697>The fuck you need a touchscreen on a macbook for production for?You don't. It costs Apple maybe 25 cents per unit to add a touchscreen and they're only doing it because they're scraping the bottom of the barrel for features to add to get the goyim excited enough to pay for it. It's just a status symbol where some manager can poke his screen and let everyone in the room know he can afford the mac that costs more than a car.
>>110189631> Real grafics cards (data stuff)> Faster cpus for productivity> More customisation for my workload.Apple cannot keep up on anything other than software exclusivity, marketing and efficiency.What CAN they do?
>>110188212They're an oleographic coating or something that wears off over time on an iPad. You can definitely wipe off the smudges, but once that coating is gone it takes nothing to smudge it.
>>110187935you lost tranny
>>110187252How did they get the weight down so much without impacting the battery life? The 14 inch proled is nearly the same weight as a 13 inch air which is quite interesting
>>110187596my desktop class CPU obliterates it at $300
>>110187252They are glowing.
>>110187252Doesn't that just mean that you are poor? I mean you apparently think that a few thousand dollars are a lot of money.
>>110190225The fuck you even need that kinda shit on the go? Grindr is a phone app you know.
>>110187252They brought back the soul. I reapeat, they brought back the SOVL
>>110190185You lost if you are buying that shit.
>>110190239Yeah I don't understand it either. I can see the benefits of an ipad for some use cases like drawing art, but a macbook doesn't really have any advantages over a regular notebook in a similar price range. Some people probably just love getting scammed or they are just addicted to buying stuff. Sorry, no idea what Grindr is.
>>110190243but I thought they had to remove the light to make the lid thinner?
>>110187310TWINKY HOUSE!!
>>110188521The screen itself actually has rounded corners? lmao
>>110192561It has since 2021, the top at least. The cursor actually curves around the edge it's kinda cool.
>>110187565>He WANTS to have his face constantly uploaded into the palantir botnet.Apple is slowly discontinuing that feature because government freaks keep trying to appropriate it for insidious purposes.That’s why it wasn’t on the duo either.
>>110187252can your currynigger silicon beat an N95 yet?didnt think so
>>110192638brown hands made that post
It costs more than my Duo, so in a way that's true, but also>macOS
>>110187252>Pro>Max>Ultra>Power>Extreme>SuperIt's all so tiresome
>>110187252>apple glow is backcool>macbook with touchscreen>$4000 price range
