[John Wick]

[amarano]

do people really use Siri?

do people really use Siri?

I only use it to set reminders.  Other than that the joint RARELY gets anything I ask right.  I'd rather them get the voice recognition right before they add all these features

 

[John Wick]

siri is pointless i never use her. but when i do decide to use her the always tries to search the web. which is really annoying. this keynote is very stale

 

[amarano]

this is very awkward 

she got a tank butt doe 

 

[John Wick]

pics cannot see live video at work

MacOS is [emoji]128293[/emoji]

Universal clipboard will be used everyday by me.

A lot of great features. Not too wowed by Apple Watch or iOS, but their integration with the actual macOS is great.

Ready for a gold MBP with Siri and uni clipboard, and universal desktops

I was catching up on Game of Thrones yesterday at work but coupled with the dirty/fingerprinted screen and glare it was getting hard to watch on the dark scenes. So I grabbed some Windex and a paper towel and this happened.



Those marks in the top right corner of the screen are spots where I guess some sort of coating was rubbed off. It looks terrible. I didn't even scrub hard or for long. Maybe 15 seconds at most. Why couldn't I just wait until I got home to clean it with a screen cleaner and microfiber cloth?

Anyone have any experience with Apple for something like this being repaired? I honestly don't even know if it can be repaired. It's still under the 1 year warranty if that makes a difference.

Never use windex to clean a computer screen. Just invest in some computer screen spray or something.

Anyways, this is a known issue with the MBP Retina models. Apple will replace the screen for free for the Pros. But since yours is just a Macbook IDK if Apple will cover that model. Worth checking out at apple tho.

Universal copy/paste

Apple Pay on your Mac

Unlocking your Mac with your Apple Watch 

Those were the main things that I liked

Making reservations through OpenTable and booking Uber all right in Apple Maps is slick too

I can't front, the other stuff are just features to try and pry me from Google which I can't see happening.

Moments - I already get those "this day last year" or compilation albums from taking pics at an event through the Google Photo Assistant

Apple iCloud Drive - I already pay for 100gb of Google Drive space, so I can't see myself paying for iCloud space as well. 

                              - The only thing about this is that I could store backups of my phone and iPad Pro here since I never back them up and would have to start over is something ever happened                                  to them. 

With the 1440 resolution screen prices dropping and 4k monitors out more , I have been itching to finally upgrade from my 2011 MBP to utilize the upgraded graphics. Just not sure when to go about doing it.

Word I never use Windex. I have Monster screen cleaner and a microfiber cloth at home but I was annoyed at work and those were my only options. Thanks for the info though, I'll see if I can get to the Apple Store some time next week.

stupid question.

why do ppl run two monitors?

and im on some trash compared to y'all.

MBA 11 in, mid-2013.

1.3 GHz, 4 GB ...

I really wish I could upgrade to 8 GB ... it's not bad though. considering i don't do anything crazy. and I only paid $500 on CL two years ago.

Multi-tasking fam. Working on a project, nothing like actually working on one and doing some research on the other.

Or two full-screen videos of your favorite actress or actresses.

Both win-win situations. 

 

 

[yanky]

I need to get a 2 monitor set up. One to watch movies/browse and the other to edit photos

[orsrt8]

I know it was wishful thinking but i really wanted them to drop some new MacBooks info
Need an upgrade in the worst way and I've been waiting. Cant wait till September/Fall.

didn't new MBPs drop 2015 or 2014? I have a 2015 one imo I`d just say if the new ones drop then cop a 2015 refurb for the low. I dont see anything they could really change on the MBP outside of internal bumps.

 

[orsrt8]

New MacBooks last came out in March of 2015. So its been 15 Months. Was thinking of getting the 2015 for the low but with the rumored Hardware/Design updates it may be best to wait.
