I was, and still am, torn about whether the base model's specs are good enough at that price. But thanks to the Amazon pricing error on the 28th I got it for $1100 so I can't complain too much. It will be interesting to see how the $1800 model compares when the scores are out in a few weeks.
Got a tip for us?

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

People pulling the "I can't connect my iPhone!" argument are reaching. How did these people manage their iPhone before they bought this fancy new MacBook Pro? Does everyone sell their previous computer? And in the day of wireless, how many people *actually* connect their phone to their computer with a USB cord? I suspect the number is quite small, and there's a half dozen other Mac models out there that still have the older USB port. It's a weak argument, to say the least.
I'm not saying that, but if they were available in stores not as many people would be buying them online. So saying that there are more on line sales then any previous generation is misleading.
that's his job though. he (presumably) did not invent any of this.
It's actually the potential of the Touch Bar, i'm willing to look forward and to think about how useful it could be. Granted i haven't had chance to have a hands on with the new MacBook Pro's yet, but i do see potential for editors.
As i have mentioned in a post a few days ago, i can see the new Touch Bar being very useful when editing video (even audio and possibly pictures) i know a couple of video editors from when i was at university who have placed orders for these. Now i'm not saying that they have completely revolutionised the laptop, but they have pushed it forward in my opinion, at least for a few users. Oh and emoji's are a nice bonus
This is funny. All the people saying how rubbish it is yet they've received a record amount of pre-orders. (Yes I know it's only online orders but it still shows how popular they are and how many people want them.)
Apple ARE doomed.

This Mac could be well received by everyone and people on these forums will still call them dumb and sheep. At what point are you out of reality?
Why didn't the interviewer ask Phil about the lack of upgraded desktop Macs. That's so frustrating. I would like to know their reasoning for it. After all it was Phil who made the famous "cant innovate my ass" comment. The Mac Pro has not had a single upgrade since they released it 3 years ago.
Is he allowed to lie? I mean, could he say it was the best selling when it wasn't?
Also, the fact it specifies online orders makes me question the fact.

So all of out crazy design choices are validated!
Honestly a ton of people are just jumping on this because of the 'touch bar'.
Now I wonder what is going to happen to the swingers club I like to go to after work. Probably get sued to change their name to Grope Club.

I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't for my daughter being in college and using the discount.
trust me, the interviewer is told what questions he is allowed to ask.
You need to connect the iPhone atleast once to sync iTunes over wifi. That is a $23 fee, even if you only do it once to set that up.
LOL, it's "pro" because it has a 3.5mm headphone jack
Did you in fact get it? or are you just hoping it does not get cancelled? or was it a BB price match?
back on topic. The base 13" without TB performs nearly the same as the high end pro from last year.
Of course it's got a record number of pre-orders. We've all been waiting so long for an update there must be a huge pent up demand there.
because most normal people do not consider removal of the glowing logo as a reason to whine constantly and change is inevitable except for posters here that keep looking at the past.
I wonder what the panicked 2015 model sales spike looks like...
You don't need a dongle to connect an iPhone, just a USB-C to lightning cable, which you can buy on Amazon quite easily.
You guys spend half your life trolling here, only for Apple to post record profits. Maybe it's time for a lot of you to rethink your approach.
