Apple store stock

Don't know.
[doublepost=1477682667][/doublepost]Other stores like Target may have these.

note: Any reason to buy from Apple store over Best Buy? I think it's about equal...or not?

Does Target sell Macs?

Apple Store in SF has two inside those glass tubes at the store. Hard to get a good look at them like this. They are both on the Space Grey

Does the 15" look any smaller than the current 15" in person?
 
Popped into a store in Cribbs Causeway (UK) today to order mine. Nothing on display, staff seemed to think they'd be getting them in 2-3 weeks. Couldn't order from the store either and wanted me to order through the website... I was rather tired but left the store rather confused.
 
None at Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto. There are 3 more Apple Stores here in a 2 mile radius, but I don't want to drive around all day...
 
I'm honestly not sold on them and I'm in market to replace my 15. The keyboard display looked a little "fuzzy" maybe it was due to the demo. They do are svelte.

I did heard someone who came in asking to purchase one of the non keyboard display MacBooks, they told him, they have them in boxes to be sold but they are not on display.

And again this is at the flagship SF store in Uniom Square.

I do have to say I got to play with the Surface Studio today and it's hard to be impressed with the MacBooks after that
 
Just a heads up. I'm using the new 13" now. The display is really nice. I've been using the rMB and a Retina 15". I also have a (really nice) Dell 4k, but this better. I had to adjust the color to taste, as it was little bright.

Went to the Apple Store at the Summerlin Mall in Las Vegas on Sunday and zero Touch Bar MacBooks. Couldn't believe it! :rolleyes:

How is the portability and usability of the 13" in comparison to your retina 15"? Which do you prefer?

The 13 is much more portable, especially than my older 15".

I can't decide what to do myself. I can't decide between the 13" and 15". It's going to take a while. I have to give it some thought. I'll 'probably go with the 15" as my main machine is the 12", which im not going to sell,

(we go though this crap every time, no? -at least i do :D )
 
Just an update from my last post. Apple Store in Union Square in San Francisco does have now the non touch 13" out to try. The two touch Macbooks are still on the display cage.

Not even Apple employees know when they will be on the floor to try that touch bar :)
 
I'm thinking germs must abound in these stores :D

The stores look so spic and span, and sterile, yet they are a veritable petri dish. International microbes also (the best kind :D )

I went to one of the Premium Apple resellers here in Denmark (Humac) and they had the new MBP 13 (sans Touch Bar of course) in stock, but they were NOT allowed to put them on display in the store. Strict Apple policy, they told me. It will probably be a week before they are allowed to put them on display. o_O

I have a BTO order on a 15", so I just wanted to check out the new keyboard. Oh well....

I check it out yesterday it feels maybe 5% sturdier than the 12" Macbook. I actually tried them both side by side.

So if you want to check how it feels just try a 12" Macbook and expect it to feel just a little little little better

I checked out the non-touch bar display model at Pacific Centre in Vancouver, Canada, they had one out today. I liked typing on the keyboard so much more than the MacBook. The keys felt more solid, it made a more satisfying noise, and there was a good resistance before they clicked down. I liked it a fair bit, tried writing some swift in a browser and was happy with how it felt. Overall a lot more impressed than I expected.
