Is there something wrong with it? My 2018 with lower specs will get me €770 (also suck it Apple). However I'm wodnering if I could transfer over my AppleCare to the new pruchase?
Due to the custom driver packs its not normally been possible to run prior date OS on Macs natively
I do the occasional video editing in 1080 and 4k maybe 1-2 times a week along with Lightroom running as well at times and with minimal back background multiple tasks; mail, browsing, etc.. What specs should I go for? I was thinking the base of the base with the upgraded graphics 5500??
This machine looks awesome. Can't believe how far you can push the spec. I would buy one if I didn't think that the 15 (now 16) inch form factor was too big.
Really hope this means that the 13 inch will get replaced by a new 14 inch with some similar upgrades. Early next year maybe? Hard to justify rolling out a keyboard fix and leaving the smaller laptops as they are for an extended period of time. I don't expect the 13/14 inch to go as far in spec as the 16, (64GB ram, 8TB, etc), but 32GB ram, maybe 4TB and a decent stand-alone graphics card would have me buying in a heartbeat. The integrated graphics has been the 13-incher's Achilles heal.

"Awesome" seems like a bit of a stretch for those GPUs, though as far as I'm aware this is the first time we've seen RDNA outside of the desktop 5700s so who knows?
That statement includes a lot of assumptions, such as the fact that they are RDNA and not Vega, based on the numbering and the fact that they stopped slapping Vega all over the purchase page, and also that 5300 and 5500 indicate that are lower-tier versions of that microarchitecture, meaning lesser performance than the 5700.
But all things considered we might be able to see similar GPU horses to laptops fitted with, say, GTX 1660 ti's, which while as I said I wouldn't call that awesome, is a decent upgrade.
value does not mean expensive either. finding ways to put quality components into a machine without costing a fortune would be a nice start to a value.
Not trolling but I've seen multiple posts on no Wifi 6 so not what everyone has been asking
You know what you were asking for, certainly. I'm just surprised you know what every single person on this forum was asking for.
Obviously you do not. I have been waiting for a higher PPI display for years, and Apple has not delivered.
Wait...just how many iterations of the retina 15 inch are there?!?For comparison the 2015 15" is:
So it's actually still smaller and lighter!
- Height: 0.71 inch (1.8 cm)
- Width: 14.13 inches (35.89 cm)
- Depth: 9.73 inches (24.71 cm)
- Weight: 4.49 pounds (2.04 kg)2
I just ordered mine. I'm really happy about the specs and features, particularly scissor keyboard. I've been waiting 7 years for this.
Whoa, seriously? That sounds crazy enough I'm almost thinking it's a bug in the trade-in site.
Not that Apple isn't crazy, just that that result is so mind-bendingly insane it's even crazy for Apple.
But the Apple RAM is better they have priests bless it or something.
$9679 AUD for a laptop? I don't care how good it is, no laptop is worth that. They are taking the smeg.
The high end is one thing, but even the 13" model "pro" machines cost $2699 AUD for a computer with INTEGRATED INTEL GRAPHICS. Those things are not compatible "Pro" and "integrated graphics"; its outright fraud!
When it comes to bang for buck, these computers have the relative specs of iBooks and macbooks from years past. But selling at their contemporary Powerbook and Macbook Pro prices with an additional ~50% markup.

It's ok man, i will give you 100$ including the shipping costs! Let me know
I was thinking those lines where Apple was perceived as super luxury and most buyers didn’t even bother to consider except those high earning creative artists and very highly paid freelance professionals in my place.
It became reasonably priced in 2008-2014 again becoming like super luxury!
Though this release seems to be fairly consistent with pricing, perceived value seems to be higher than recent year editions. But I feel there will be another refresh by bumping prices including wifi6 sooner than later..
Have you considered a Mac Mini? They're lovely little machines, and as long as you're happy with external storage and you don't let Apple upgrade your RAM, they're not really even overpriced!
Google Pixel 4 doesn’t have WiFi 6? No big deal.Not trolling but I've seen multiple posts on no Wifi 6 so not what everyone has been asking
MacBook Pro has no WiFi 6? Dealbreaker.
