At some point it will be impossible to dispute that bombarding our bodies with these kinds of things is unhealthy and destructive. But we’ll be so far into it that a reversal will mean a substantial change of life. Ironic that the manner in which we are pursuing these things will eventually bring about their downfall.

They said the same thing about electricity.

And every other thing that’s mattered since... the cave. You know some cave dude figured out fire, brought it into the cave and was super excited to share it with them only to find the oldest most irrelevant member of his tribe bitching about getting a disease no one will live long enough to get. 

Comparing GarageBand to Logic (in spite of Apples declaration that they are based upon the same development - they are not) is like comparing Adobe Photoshop to Picasa. 

Is Picasa still a thing? Oh wait - no one cares. 

If you actually type on your iPad and have any intention to write anything of length, or are sitting somewhere forced to use your actual lap as surface... This is the only keyboard you should be considering. Apples is crap, it's shaky and shifts and about 100$ more than its worth. Oh and forget about typing on the dark.

If a Mac is out of your budget and you need to keep it tighter financially for a minute -the 10.5 pro, pencil, and Brydge will easily replace a Macbook. Perhaps there are some professionals here this wouldn't be the case but id fight u and win. Books are written the way. Add the Nimbus and you can game too... It's also 1000$. Is that fair ? Since that's what macbook costs ? Probably not. But I have both.

Having said that - this accessory should have launched 6 months ago, isn't all that different from its original design and it doesn't get the love Logitech gets from Apple when Logi (really?) Is always Plan c. I don't get that.

It's got a bit of that lovely Chinese metallic sheen but the damn thing doesn't wobble on my actual lap. 

Wins. Not even apple back lit it's keyboard. But they still have to sell MacBooks so - theres where this always goes. The iPad pro should replace the air. Get on with it. Converge before MS and Android do... It's coming and doesn't that sound awful... - let us figure it out. 

And put thunderbolt on the entry macbook. Stop F**** around. OR GIVE THE AIR A RETINA SCREEN.

I assume this is for gaming and graphics professionals.  Seems as though mobile GPUs in MBP's aren't quite powerful enough for intense graphics situations. Something like this would allow for almost any TB3 Mac to be able to plugin and have graphics as powerful as a Windows workstation-class PC (ie. AutoCAD, gaming rigs, Adobe Pro apps, Video editing apps, etc.)  This would indeed be a boon to laptops.  

It’s better than that. It allows ALL MACS WITH TB1,2,3 to game. Yes, of course the power hits the graphics card will take are severe... but perhaps ur a college kid with a hand me down PowerBook from 2012 and would really like to keep using that machine.

Gaming is double the size of Hollywood and still no one cares.

Wouldn't it be better if Apple built decent GPUs into Macs to begin with?

Me - for example.

But by and large the consumer PC market has died and that includes the Mac.

As much I love them - the segment *the only segment* that’s growing is pc gaming. Even MICROSOFT pumped actual power into thier console and while that’s great Apple is not into it. 

I suppose theyre declining actual investment in that segment because these other companies have excellent workarounds now but I wager it’s got something to do with thier casual gaming profits... or because Macs run both Operating Systems - which is probably the smartest thing any computer maker has done in 10 years. 

Now that they they can play GTA Online and Chatology/Pixelmator etc. 

Im not just a one off. People love Macs but can’t afford two setups. An under 500$ box that turns a MacBook Air into a ROG or whatever should be illegal. 

Thankfully it’s not.
