I'm so torn on the macbook. No fan and force touch is dope, but the lack of connections doesn't sit right with me. I'll probably hold out for a pro with force touch

The 13 inch macbook pro was updated to have a force touch keyboard and upgraded processor:

Apple wants to be a luxury brand so bad. They better keep that watch price more reasonable.

Even many Apple users today are not gonna be stupid enough to spend $500 on a watch that only works when paired with an iPhone. Even though the watch looks great. And that 18 hour battery life isn't helping either. Remember that a great amount of iPhone sales are bought on contract. The Apple Watch will be sold at full price.

I can see Google taking advantage of this and making Android Wear compatible with iOS before the Watch drops April 24th.

349 dollars is an amazing deal for something that outdoes every other smart-watch on the market in design, functionality, and features.

Not to mention, the only difference is dropping cash on the casings.

If you get the gold watch or the sport one, you all have the same watch.

Pretty sure that phone theft has been on the decline in NY for a few years now.......with the prices Apple just announced for the watches, you can expect watch theft to jump back into the picture once every frail hipster is rocking one of these in 1 form or another during the summer. #StickUpKidsIsOutToTax

Apple curing the world

Ya'll joke, but ResearchKit is fukking GAME CHANGING


If studies can get more people to participate merely by using the app you could see a major change in recruitment for studies and what not.

My Retina Macbook Pro is still more powerful though. That new shyt is merely a glorified luxury item at this point. Worse processor and FaceTime camera...well...everything.

I'm looking at watches on Macy's website right now. The prices are on point compared to anything else in its price range.

But all the sub $500 watches look better. The watch industry has a weird mix

The new macbook isn't for consumers who care about processor power

Ima have to watch the watch part of the keynote when I get off but from what I'm reading the sport price isn't bad for what it does. Just debating on size.
