Voting for Trump has nothing to do with his thought process.
Let's keep the politics out of this thread.
His profile says "P.R." - China?Yes please confirm this. Also, which delivery timeframe did you get?
There is nothing pathetic about a person buying what he or she wants, regardless of whether or not you or anyone else approves. I am sure that you have purchased things that others would or have called into question. There is no need to mock someone on here like that.
Yes, you can. I have a few old extensions sitting around from Air's and old MBP's. I've used it succesfully on a 2016 MBr 12" and my '16 MBP 13" (non-touch) without issue.
You got me wrong. It is pathetic to buy something and then feeling robbed. It was his own decision. An act of free will. Right?
Yes could be, however, if you click on it you're redirected to Potsdam, Germany
I've used Migration Assistant for several generations of MBPs, so this time I plan to make a clone of my 2013 MBP and manually install the apps and move files over in order to get a fresher start.

So. Many. Pixels. SO MANY. SO MANY PIXELS.
(2880x1800 15" MacBook Pro + 3140x2160 Dell 27", + 3140x2160 Dell 27")
Still awaiting a stand for the 15", and I still need to figure out something along the lines of a thunderbolt dock to reduce that from four connections (Display, Display, USB, Charge) to, hopefully, 1.
However, with this current setup; when plugged in, I am connected to that mouse and keyboard; and have access to twelve USB 3.0 Type A ports. The hub off to the right (I haven't figured out quite where to put it) and the USB ports built into the displays. By swapping one port and changing the input on the displays, I move right on over to the Windows PC.
Also just one dongle (USB-C to USB-A). Both displays are connected with a USB-C to DisplayPort cable.
EDIT: Keep in mind, the 4 year old Mac this is replacing couldn't even drive ONE of these displays at better than 30fps... This 15" is driving BOTH at 60fps, and performing flawlessly with applications like Final Cut Pro.

Thank you for clarifying. I wouldn't call it pathetic. I think he or she is merely anxious over having to sit and wait for the Mac. Feelings might change once it arrives. And if that change results in a return, that is fine.
Don't forget the crappy Windows you get with those machines
reason why I sticked with my MacBook Pro purchase.
Faster + less energy usage.
Two directions a company can go with more efficient hardware. Increase battery life, or reduce size. Apple chose the latter. Note that all companies do this; nobody still makes 4" thick laptops.
So it has the same 10 hour battery life of previous models; but is able to do it in a laptop that's razer thin, super light and very fast.
Skylake is a performance improvement over previous generations. Kaby Lake, however, is not. It's just an improvement in energy efficiency.
Mine is like yours...
The delivery pushed back to 11/18 as well, originally it was thursday 11.17...
Mine still says schedule for early delivery on 11/17. Originally estimate was 11/18.
