Apple Has Received More Online Orders for New MacBook Pro Than Any Previous Generation

You are kinda reiterating what i said "There is absolutely room for another model here"
I am personally not interested in either. My client base that loves Mac computers and is in need of upgrades are interested. But I have a hard time recommending a $4000 laptop for an option that should be included in a lower tier computer.
I'm quite sure Apple would've gotten even battery life despite going with full 32gb DDR4 if they didn't shrink the battery by over 20%! RAM consumes less power than screen, cpu, and SSD
Had no idea. Thats a bit of a bummer.

A knock off USB cable? USB is an open standard. The USB-C cable thats included with a new LaCie drive is not made by Apple yet sold in apple stores. It wont fry your computer. You crazy.
I call bs. There is no way to exceed the total sales of the previous model that has been on the market for how many years in just a matter of days. The proof will be when apple releases its quarterly earnings. Phil is a shill.
I think if you suffocate your own market by not updating for pro customers and business, and focus on phones, and then wait with the macbook pro for those who want a more serious than macbook (with news that it's underpowered) ..
yesh, i can see how you can have more orders than usual.

"Well boys, now, moving forward, should we proceed with 'Plan A' on the new price increases that Tim wanted for the Imac and Mac Pro model updates in 2017?"
"Sure, why not? Hell, we even have people on forum sites actually defending the price increases and attacking others who are mad about it- its amazing...Apple customers really don't seem to care how much they have to pay...."
"Its not amazing, Jony, its MAGICAL"
<room erupts in laughter>

Exactly...a highly priced Infiniti with last year engine but you need a dongle every time u need to fill it with gas, cause it's not compatible with all the gas stations around
I don't feel it's an entirely bad release, but it wasn't worth all the hyped wait people put up with. I buy my computers out of necessity, my iMac was becoming too old in 2015 so it needed an update so I bought a new system. Too many people play the waiting game, you never win at the waiting game.

Don't forget your dongle to inflate the tires!
The real bold risk Apple has done is the pricing of these 'Pro' machines.

Such is life in the Apple ecosystem. You are never truly alone, but you are never truly a part of society either.
Yes, they took the optical out:
"AppleInsider contacted Apple about the matter, and was told that the feature was removed due to a lack of customers using the functionality. Additionally, we were told that "plenty of USB-C zero-latency professional peripherals are available now, or coming very soon" featuring optical audio out connectivity."
How the f**** do they even know what people are using! My primary use of the audio jack on the MBP is the optical output. Complete idiots. What is the cost/weight? $2 and 1 gram?
Sure Phil, it's much simpler and more economical that I just trash my $3000 Harman-Kardon amplifier and buy a shiny new one with USB-C. Complete idiots! This was the last drop for me.

Anyone know of any? I haven't found one...
That's not USB-C.
The MonoPrice one is, though.
Most people already travel with a dongle to charge their laptop. It's called a charger. Or are public MagSafe chargers are common thing.Exactly...a highly priced Infiniti with last year engine but you need a dongle every time u need to fill it with gas, cause it's not compatible with all the gas stations around
You are right, I followed a link posted by somebody else because I like the very compact design. That same site also lists a USB-A to USB-C adaptor for $3.9.
If only apple had updated the macbook pro line earlier they could have seamlessly transitioned in the same period to a full on USBc laptop without too many people complaining. The issue mainly comes from not releasing a laptop in so long that price has made it poor value compared to older models and all i/o has been dumped in one go. People don't like change especially if you impose it without choice. Apple will regret this in profits later this year.
Apple offers eight different Apple-branded USB-C/TB3 adaptors: USB-C to USB-A, USB-C to Lightning, TB3 to TB2, USB-C to SD card, USB-C to Ethernet, USB-C to VGA, USB-C to HDIM/USB-A/USB-C, USB-C to VGA/USB-A/USB-C.
Apple also sell four different Belkin USB-C/TB3 adaptors: USB-A to USB-C, USB-C to USB-Micro (USB2),USB-C to USB-Micro (USB3.1), USB-C to USB-Mini.

Apple is giving some choice by still selling the 2015 models. But you are right, people don't like change, which means that if you were to follow 'people', very little would ever get changed. And when did Apple really give people much choice when it came to laptops, battery size or selection of ports.
Beware - there's a lot of cheap C stuff out there that doesn't meet spec. Good ones that do, cost $$.

No USB-C to HDMI (without the extra ones), lNo C to DVI, no C to minidisplayport.
Back in the day record labels would buy their own records from music stores to beef up numbers, communist newspapers would publish 10,000's of copies only to have them destroyed, to beef up numbers. I don't believe much of what Apple says, they are as dishonest as anyone else.
