First impressions are very positive which hasn't been the case for a long time - more sensible stuff (reverting to a better keyboard, the return of some physical keys, more RAM options, more storage options) and less focus on thin/light + stupid gizmos. Liking this switch in direction.
 
Disappointed....Not good enough to get me to come back. WHERE IS AN OLED TOUCHSCREEN OPTION?!!! I use this every day with my WIN 10 laptop.

the jump from the Radeon Pro 5500M with 4GB of RAM to 8 GB of Ram is only $90
And the processor from 2.3GHz to 2.4GHz is $150.

these seem REALLY low for Apple upgrades.
Am I missing something? IS the 8 GB video card somehow slower or something weird?
 
I have to say, that this is a nice looking machine, and the ills of the prior models have been corrected.

The price is decent, a base model with a 1b of storage is only 2,300. I can live with that :)

Yeah that's what I would like to know...

It's like Apple is not even promoting their machines.
MacRumors does a much better job at detailing its specs and improvements. No mention of the new keyboard on the Apple Store page.
They send out review models to plenty of influencers that released the review before apple page even had their specs up, seems to me they're promoting it the way they're supposed to for the machine in question
 
Why can't I order? Not on the web site!
