MacDailyNews Take: Will Apple really debut such a radically new MacBook Pro with a OLED touch-strip via mere press release?

They Fsck-ing better. I am tired of my 2016 15″ MB pro taking 10 minutes to shutdown. And yes I have tried all the remedies offered the last time I mentioned this.
What you are experiencing isn’t in any way normal. Something is clearly wrong with your system.
My 2011 17-inch MacBook Pro shuts down in 15-30 seconds, boots up to the FileVault login screen in 18 seconds, and completes login in 11 seconds from there.
I don’t know what remedies were suggested, but I would examine system.log entries at shutdown to see if there are error messages with matching time stamps that would give a hint as to what is causing the problem. I’d also probably boot in verbose mode and then watch the messages displayed on the screen during shutdown.
Yeah, something is definitely whacked with your system, my Mid 2013 MBA starts in 6 seconds and shuts down in 8.
Try DiskWarrior by Alsoft.
I had similar issues with the exact same MacBook Pro & removed the references created by a version of Parralels from ages ago.
Did it about 6 months ago now, and has been perfect ever since.
All I can say is the machine works perfectly in every other aspect. I am thinking of turning off file vault. Then redoing the whole encrypted volume thing.
Great. I already have to try to adjust from touching the screen to touching the trackpad. Now I’ll also have a spot above the keyboard to reach for. Don’t get me wrong – the concept is interesting. But they really should have just made the jump to a full touch screen.
Uh, and how do you deal with the whole “gorilla arm” issue??
How do people deal with it on an iPad pro?
No thanks. Don’t want gorilla arm, that’s ridiculous. I have a Dell computer with touchscreen at work. NEVER use the touchscreen. It is annoying.
