Fun fact: if you are in the US on a 15 amp circuit which is most common. You can start tripping circuit breakers at 1400+ watts at 120 volts.

I run at least 2 external displays, even on docked laptops. A single monitor dock and stand doesn't get me very far.

I do like the simplicity of one less thing cluttering my desk, but only lifting one monitor is of limited utility to me.

Funnily enough that not a bad idea. Almost all power for a pc is turned into heat, if you need to heat a home anyways you might as well.

You could probably even sell the excess heat back to the gas company.

Wait nobody do that idea. Then we’ll run into a shortage/hoarding again..

I literally said companies shouldn't do it. Read. Independent creators who are making things on their own dime/time are just like you and me, and should post what they want. Anker has an advertising department. They shouldn't be doing it.

Steve Jobs also said that the iPhone 4 was the perfect size and that nobody would buy a larger phone. Guess we all know how that played out

Its disingenuous as a news article tho. Its claiming its the best. And it looks like shit. Not just hey we built this product. But advertisement using psychological manipulation. Unethical

Thanks I hate it

We are talking software support which should be counted from when sales stop to when software support stops - since there would be an expectation to support someone’s device for a reasonable time from when they bought it new from you.

At what point will i require a dedicated socket for my gaming pc....

Sweet. Welcome to 2015

My 3080 running Folding@Home was basically my heater for a bit a while back.

The touchbar was bad because it was replacing physical keys with something worse. Adding touchscreen doesn’t replace anything nor does it remove functionality, it simply adds a new feature.

And I’m sure there’ll still be traditional non-touch optimised UI as well, to cater to existing Macs without touchscreens (and the Mac Mini/Studio/Pro who will probably never have touchscreens) . It’s not like an Intel to Apple Silicon transition where Intel is getting totally abandoned and obsoleted

I've been getting major future Trunks and Vegeta leaving the hyperbolic time chamber vibes with recent GPUs and CPUs. Sure would be nice to get some teen Gohan and Goku leaving the hyperbolic time chamber products instead.

It’s just that the people that use MacBook Pros are not the people that want gimics like touchscreens (remember the touchbar?). Touchscreen laptops are hard to use for an extended period of time because your shoulders get tired. Steve Jobs said that years ago and everyone here knows it.

Think you’re describing Windows. Like I said, there’s nothing preventing Apple from designing it well and seamlessly blending touch interfaces with regular mouse & keyboard. In fact, Apple is probably the only manufacturer in the world that I would trust 100% to deliver technology in a meaningful and useful manner (butterfly keyboard & touchbar notwithstanding)

Needs a display port or 2

Ooooffff what a shit company

Up to 250 watts. No longer will my house need a furnace. This packaged with a 4090 should be integrated into my air handler and WAMMO I got sufficient heat for my winters needs.

Bro my 500 dollar Lenovo yoga from years ago has a touchscreen. Its like what 50 dollars more for the company in parts. Honestly apple is moving us backwards

If someone wants a touchscreen laptop made by Apple then they can just buy an iPad. We don’t need a touchscreen on Mac. Touchscreens on devices not designed for a touchscreen only makes the user experience worse.

My 2005 HP Pavillion would disagree with that. It had a pretty phenomenal track pad. It wasn't until the 20teens that I realized I could turn on further functionality on it.

Apples trackpad was built with a good basis and better touch tool really tapped into its full potential.

Microsoft nailed exactly that concept with the surface pro. I almost got one when they came out.

I had numerous students who loved theirs and would switch back and forth from popping the screen off for in-class note taking and design drawing to then using it like a regular laptop.
