Our review of the new MacBook Pros are here!
- M1 Max 16 is the fastest laptop we've ever tested in creative tasks
- M1 Pro 16 went *16 hours* during a normal workday on battery
- Extra GPUs on the Max not worth the battery hit if you don't need them https://t.co/GJjuHD9GKP

By this logic, aren't our hands also already on our phones too? We touch it way before we look at it. https://t.co/RiprVp8w1s

But I’ll say this. The battery life on these are great but the fine print is bonkers. Settings to get to 21 hours:

- M1 Pro chip
- Brightness at 50%
- Wi-Fi off
- True Tone off
- Ambient light sensor off
- Keyboard backlight off
- Downloaded video in Apple TV app

"We make the world’s best touch computer on an iPad. It’s totally optimized for that. And the Mac is totally optimized for indirect input. We haven’t really felt a reason to change that."

Apple's "explanation-not-an-explanation"

Ummm... nope. It's opposite actually.

My phone is in my palm and a finger can move to a fingerprint sensor without much travel.

On a laptop, my hand is either on the edge of the lid whole opening or on trackpad/keyboard far from the fingerprint sensor. https://t.co/JUetmSXEEv

I'd argue the the other way: Face ID makes sense on laptops over Touch ID, while for phones Touch ID makes more sense than Face. On a phone for SURE your thumb is already near screen. On laptop my fingers aren't always near upper right corner of keyboard https://t.co/3hUqkK04Er

Really it’s because you can unlock the Mac with your watch but they won’t admit that ?? https://t.co/cKCadoCe0n

Hands are not always on the phone when you hold them, so no TouchID on phones guys https://t.co/vGr3fZlEZE

Now that the new MacBook Pros are nearly perfect and fix pretty much everything we’ve complained about, what do the future of the MacBook look like?

Touchscreens? Water resistance? I asked Apple. My review of the new MacBook Pros: https://t.co/atsZQ7w72w

man what i really hate about using my laptop is opening it up every day and then picking my face and having to put it in front of it https://t.co/0wgrlRr5vJ

Apple claims 21 hours of battery life on the new 16-inch MacBook Pros.

Someone had to test it.

oh man, this is a laaaaame answer. We all know the real one: Apple won’t make a laptop lid thick enough to house all the components. I’m guessing they’re waiting for the tech to downsize enough to make it happen, they’re CLEARLY preparing people with that notch. https://t.co/i7BwHgmYH8

— David Ruddock (@RDRv3) October 29, 2021

Look, Apple does some great things, but it often just says nonsense too that it later pretends it never said e.g. why no phones with big screens (ergonomics!).

Who remembers Schiller's insanely dumb comment about why no Qi on iPhone 5 after Nokia did it with Lumia 920? https://t.co/8nQSAUFl0m pic.twitter.com/epG5u8CX2m

— Daniel Rubino (@Daniel_Rubino) October 29, 2021

Umm. Respectfully disagree. Anyone who has used Windows Hello, which logs you in instantly upon opening the lid, would likely agree facial log-in > finger-based biometrics. https://t.co/lm5UHhS0go

by this logic touch ID should come back to the phone too, my literal entire hand is on my iphone and i have to unlock with my face?? https://t.co/pJrhkae42I

I use my phone with my hand! It’s literally called “touch screen”. https://t.co/BNVU3FByQ7

Apple MacBook Pro 14 and 16 review: return to form https://t.co/FL3ROCpvAf “Absurd RAM pricing” is being sensational (at best) since it does not account for an entirely different RAM model. While $800 for 16->64, a Dell (base=8GB) is $400 excl. discrete GPU you’d add and upgrade.
