  • First look: Apple's new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar

    Along with the iPhone 7 and iOS10, the new MBP with Emoji Bar is a no brainer for me.

    I will spend my money to upgrade to a Canon 5D MkIV.

    Disappointments to painful to write here.

    Me and Apple
    1996 - 2016
    R.I.P.

    So long, and thanks for all the fish.

  • Review: Apple's 13" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar

    Another tech blogger moonlighting as a reviewer. I'd like to see a proper review by an actual media professional that uses Photoshop/Lightroom etc, for 10 hours a day. The touchbar may be cool but the lack of physical buttons is a major drawback for image editors (at least) when you have to take your focus off the screen to find the virtual key you want to press. With physical buttons you can feel them under your fingertips and know you are pressing the correct key without taking your eyes off screen. That may not be relevant, or even cross the mind of a tech blogger, but it is deal breaker for the pro creative media crowd. Those that rely on SD cards have to carry extra fiddly bits along with your assortment of dongles - increasing the chances of missing the part you need on a job. And what about the lack of innovation around the MagSafe. They just killed a useful feature saving people thousands of dollars in repairs after accidents. They could have kept the USB-C charging and integrated MagSafe in the cable, or at power brick end. Steve would have forced his designers to find a way, but not this bunch of lazy out-of touch bores that seem to have taken over at Apple lately. Those arguing this laptop is future proof have no clue. By the time USB-C is standard on everyting and camera wireless transfers are as fast and reliable as physical readers, this laptop would be as old as a 5 year old laptop today - with the added disadvantage nothing on it is upgradable. We need a laptop we can use TODAY, and upgrade it when needed.
