More debate fodder about the 16gig limit on the new laptops…

No question.

Shoot. And I can’t even claim I was sleepy since I got 5 full hours the night before I posted that.
Brain dead from too much work is more like it.
Sorry.

I still think that the postioning of the touch bar makes it awkward to use. I would have placed it at the bottom of the key board.

On the bottom makes no sense. It’s a virtual slider in many important modes. If you drop your right hand to slide a volume or color adjustment down (to the left) your right hand runs into your left hand on the keyboard. The Touch Bar being on top means the hand operating it slides back and forth OVER the hand resting on the keyboard. Track pad below. Keyboard center. TouchBar above. Correctly designed.

I *think* they might have improved the “palm signal rejection” on the new larger trackpads. I still occasionally have my 2015 MBPro read a double touch drag as a triple touch command if my left palm drops too near the trackpad.
During the brief time I was able to test drive a Touch Bar laptop at Apple, I didn’t notice that happening at all – even though the new trackpads are significantly bigger than the prior ones.
Just a quick impression.

Maybe under the keys and above the pad.

Under the keys though and it’s going to be covered by one or both of your hands most of the time. Having it at the top makes the most sense, IMO.

Hi All,
I still poke my head in here to read and keep abreast of things but don’t respond or post as I used to. Hope you are all well and as impassioned about your particular NLE choices as always and yes, that is a rhetorical statement – of course you are!
Is 16GB adequate today? Yes, but barely for any video creative professional.
Is making a professional laptop with 16GB as max config wise? Time will tell, but I am a tad skeptical.Personally, I am looking at switching my day to day laptop to a PC for some of these reasons.
