People will lose their minds and snatch up the apple watch as fast as they can make them. Sales might slow down a bit next year, and then theyll put out a new one which is much better, and around and around in the apple cycle we go again. This will be going on for years, them making different styles, new colors, improved OS, etc...
- well, yeah, they will make it better each model, that's what companies do with their productsmonospaced
- My point was its highly unlikely it will be a fad and gone in a year.CygnusZero4
- I agree, i think the wearable market is just opening up for realmonospaced

Doesnt seem like anything apple does ends up being a short term fad. I originally thought tablets would die off really fast. Didnt see what the need for them was when people have laptops, but theyre still here all these years later, and they still sell, and they arent going anywhere anytime soon.

Yep - they still make badass computers - best laptops in the world. iMac is superb. Air superb. Phones - meh. ipad - in decline as original phablets and tablet competition ate into sales.
iWatch - WTF? doesn't solve any problem - will sell a lot initially but will be a short-term fad.
All imho of course. And I will probably have to eat my hat.

Research Kit was the coolest thing they talked about yesterday.
I have MAJOR issues with the watch. They didn't give one reason that justifies the $350 price tag, let along a $10k one.
- did Pebble give a good reason to justify their $250 price tag? What about Samsung Gear's $350 tag?monospaced
- No. They are all frivolous tech as of right now.jasontroj

You guys know this thing will sell like crazy.

- ok mono, you really are not a fanboipinkfloyd
- I really am not. I'm actually fascinated at how much attention the naysayers are giving this thread.monospaced
- having an opinion about how something will sell has nothing to do with "fanboi-ism"

You guys are really weird as designers. The beauty of the design and engineering on that new Macbook is breathtaking, yet, everybody complains. (I'm not talking specs or anything, just design)
- Designers appreciate aesthetics in tools that work for them, not ones that come out stunted.detritus
- I mean, what point aesthetics, when the thing's perceived as being compromised for purpose?detritus
- it's not targeted for us, it's targeted for casual users. Don't see it compromised in that segment.ESKEMA
- i dont like gold
the grey one is cool.benfal99 - the specs on another hand... i'll pass.benfal99
- the specs are perfect for let's say my GF. She only surfs and write, etc..ESKEMA
- it's a basic computer, it's not meant for us people who need powermonospaced

"Why Apple's new MacBook should be called the MacBook Meh"
- fadein110
Quick question / advice please?
We were about to buy another laptop for our business - day to day stuff - nothing heavy like video editing but probably some photoshop / web / admin / browsing etc.
Was planning on getting Macbook Air top spec one.
Now looking at this new Macbook - is that the better choice?
A bit concerned about the 1 connector - we use serrato, I have a small Wacom, external drives etc... Its obviously the future but may be a bit too soon for us.
Its v.tricky making a decision now and planning on getting it this week.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.- have a macbook pro for music stuff so not Serrato not essential.fadein11
- Buy it online have a play with it and send it back within a month if not happy.set
- i used to use a white ibook and a 12"powerbook with a broken screen to dj with seratoerr
- < yes I'm sure you did - my point is the new macbook has one new standard connector... facepalmfadein11

i just uodated my iTunes and iOS
Apple has activated Bluetooth without asking because they think i want a watch. And i now have an un-deletable app called Apple Watch to manage my future watch. Nice move, it makes me want a watch,
