Should I have my new company buy me a Macbook pro now, or wait until Nov?

On a scale from 10 to Go Fuck Yourself what is the chance Apple will have an October Macbook event? I want the rumored physical escape key. Fuck the touch bar. TC: 206k, 8 YoE, medium COL area

Because Vim?

Absolutely. And using the caps lock as esc is just a workaround for bad design.

Hardcore vim users I’ve seen do the remap anyways. Who needs caps lock?

If a new MacBook came out, would they buy you that one?

NewRelic _._... OP Oct 13, 2019

Yep.

The touchbar is awesome, it’s not hard to use. The escape key is in the top left corner. You can do it!

The touch bar has always been shit. Only thing ever used on it is volume control and escape, and those were there anyway.

The whole keyboard will be replaced by a touch bar, mainly for emoji mode (whole keyboard will just be emoji for better chat experience).

Holy shit that sounds amazing, will it be in this years model?!

Fun fact: you can assign "Esc" to the caps lock key. Then download pock for a new touchbar layout and never look back

Clover Health sinkinship Oct 13, 2019

But can you just set the entire touch bar to ESCs?

The Krazy Coupon Lady wetware Oct 13, 2019

Yep
