The non-touchbar model was not updated. Unbelievable.

As soon as the 32GB option is available in the 13", I'm buying (this 2012 model is starting to show is age).
According to John Gruber the issue with the keyboards had to do with supplier sourcing of a specific metal part that wasn’t up to standard. Supposedly that has been fixed. He didn’t get this first hand so he said take with a grain of salt of course.
Probably when they update the 12” MacBook.
I can see Belkin or somebody coming up with a keychain canister of compressed air designed specifically to blow under butterfly keys
Well that just came out of nowhere. Updated on a Thursday? What is the world coming to?
Hex-core CPUs? YAY!
Radeon Pro 560X? Booo!

Hey the Back to School Promo started today too.
No!
People who weren’t considering it because (YouTubers drama, Press drama, price point, not liking new things) will proceed to complain about it being what was expected.
Dude, you’re getting a Dell!
4 years of warranty.
Does anybody else offers 4 years of warranty on the keyb?
I would rather go with a company that I can "take it to the lawyer", than YouTube divas.

But quad-core in a 13" is the news, not the Touch Bar.... if you want that new config, then you have no choice
Butterfly Keyboard v3! Let's hope they actually fixed it this time.
Considering Apple admitted issues with the keyboard it seems odd they’d ship new models - and even mention an improved 3rd gen keyboard - with the same keyboard issues as before. Sure some people still won’t like the keyboard because they prefer more key travel but that’s just a preference not a flaw with the keyboard.
Maxed out with 4tb, 32gb, the 15" costs 74,290 NOK = 9,167 USD!!!
Apple clearly has a long-term plan for it. They aren't getting rid of it that easily.
I'm thinking it was the quadcore part that was long awaited.
Okay. Let me go get some salt and test this theory
They caved to Dave2d's pressure. He did it, the absolute madman! /s
