The product itself is fine, I have no strong opinions on it. But what a hell of a disappointing unveiling.

Take down the store and website for a few minutes, boot it back up, boom. That's it. They couldn't even bother with a keynote or a livestream or something.

For their flagship laptop receiving a substantial update after six years. Okay.

There is apparently an in-person event that is not livestreamed. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/live/apple-touchscreen-macboo...

Makes sense this event is in LA- this this is designed to be a mobile media creation device. Most users don't care about most of the features that are highlighted in the press release, but someone creating any sort of visual media would.

That's cold comfort, unless the influencers were meant to livestream it themselves… which I still don't particularly like, but it's something?
