Apple on Thursday. Maybe you were expecting something affordable, something with Face ID, something with a more reliable keyboard.
Dare we even dream of the long-rumored Retina Display MacBook Air? Instead, there are with bumped-up processors.
OK, that's not exactly fair. Apple has added a nice array of pro-centric improvements: More storage options (up to 4TB), more RAM options (up to 32GB), a True Tone display, always-on Siri. And the keyboard is now quieter. (What everyone wanted was something by a single crumb or speck of dust, though.) And the addition of an optional external GPU box will no doubt be welcomed by graphics professionals -- but I'm not rendering video, so all of that is far beyond my needs.
Meanwhile, the only iPad Apple has unveiled this year was an, adding Pencil stylus support. It's a great baseline product, but it doesn't take the iPad further. Here we are again. I've been looking for that Next Big Step in Apple computers and tablets, and so far, it. Or, I'd settle for a great new mid-range product.
I Haven't Seen One Single Update For Mac Free
Apple's latest updates do neither, leaving me wondering when something for the rest of us is arriving, and how much things will really change when it gets here. For Apple, lately, computer progress feels mighty slow indeed. The Microsoft Surface Go combines tablet and laptop. Apple still isn't going there.
CNET The missing tweener Microsoft's just-announced is little more than a smaller, more affordable, less powerful Microsoft Surface. It is, to be clear, not in the same computing universe as the MacBook Pro: It's more of a Microsoft Chromebook. But at least its heart is in the right place: One machine that handles all your needs. Apple's increasingly large gallery of options seems to keep skirting that mission over and over again. The iPad and iPad Pro are powerful and have great apps, but don't have computer-like web browsers and helpful things I need to work, like trackpads for editing as I write. The MacBook lineup is frozen in time: Nicely constructed, but running system software that isn't pushing boundaries.
I Haven't Seen One Single Update For Macbook Pro
And, no touchscreens at all. I'd love to just carry one Apple computer around. Preferably, an iPad. But I can't get all my work done on it. Hence, I use a MacBook. But mine's an older Pro.
