The prices are pretty steep, but I've been using my 2010 MBP still so I will probably get one of these.
Got a tip for us?

Marco Arment hating on the new Macs....shocker. Complain about the prices staying the same, fine. But more ports and SD slot? In what realistic world was Apple going to add back things they took away? Marco Arment may want a 2015 MBP with 2018 internals but he’s being completely disingenuous if he wants people to believe Apple was ever going to do that. And it’s also nonsense to think Apple would abandon new hardware only a couple years after being introduced. A few years ago Casey Liss said the ATP crew were going to make a point of being less negative because they were getting complaints about their podcast being too negative all the time. Well that didn’t last long. Marco is constantly whining and complaining.

Very minor MBP update. More cores, higher max RAM and SSD, and “quieter” keyboard. Non-Touch-Bar options are unchanged. No update to the Escape at all. No SD slot or more ports. Same entry prices. If you hated the 2016-2017, you’ll probably hate the 2018.

Guess I'll keep trucking my 17" 2011 MacBook Pro.
In the U.S. that would be $6699, $2000 of which is for the SSD upgrade from 2 to 4 TB.
So, three from the five new Macs have been released, and running 10.13 as expected... what about the other two?... they were listed as running 10.13 too, so they should come soon...
People crying over prices like if Apple computers were ever affordable to begin with.
Are you a time-traveller from 2008? Because you are about 10 years late with that complaint. MacBook Pro has always had integrated graphics.
Hopefully in a chassis no bigger than the 12" MacBook. I have a work-supplied 13" Dell XPS. The one nice thing about it is the small bezels allowing a big screen compared to the size of the device.
Not every pro is the same. Some need CPU more than GPU (while still needing a Mac environment). I'm seriously considering selling my 2017 iMac for one of these now that the MacBook Pro can have 32 GB RAM. I need graphics capabilities but the GPU in the MacBook Pro is sufficient.
Nice, finally some hardware updates. But sad that it's only available on the touch bar model so you'll have to pay a minimum of €1999 (USD 2336) to take advantage of that.
The ports on the right side are limited PCI Express bandwidth. Shortcut by Apple to save battery life and cost.
Now you know.
On the Touch Bar, I think Apple should have nothing or should have a touch screen.
It seems to me almost like the one button mouse
.Is that true? I can't tell. Although it'd explain why I'm utterly underwhelmed and wondering if my 2013 MacBook Pro will last another three years...
Ignore that - I see now only the touchbar version says "New". How rubbish. No way do I want that touchbar.
No new models without the emoji keyboard. What good is the spec bump if you're unable to type on it?

Isn't there supposed to be weeks of rumors that pretty much reveals all of this BEFORE the actual product release? Did I miss those piles of rumors? I saw something about Mac refreshes this Fall but haven't seen much about a mid-July update.
They had to release something before the 9th generation core processors hit the market or they would've ended up with the latest.
Is it worth upgrading my 2017 MacBook Pro if I’ve had no issues ?
Quieter keyboard would be nice but doubt it’s worth the money I would lose selling my current one.

I thought they would have put in a 1080p Facetime camera this time. Overall, I like it.
Neither did Ming Chi Kuo apparently. Is this Apple flipping him the bird after yesterday's report?
What? No 64GB? Apple is doom etc..
