Apple Unveils New 13-Inch and 15-Inch MacBook Pros With Retina 'Touch Bar'

[Crzyrio]

Yeah.... Touch bar isn't gonna be a time saver

You'll have to take your eyes of the screen so often to look down at it that it's less efficient.

I'm actually a little bummed about it to be honest.

I was thinking the same but I think once you get used to it it will be much better.
Instead of diving through menus now, I just have to look down.

Looks like I'm gonna buy the previous gen MBP that I skipped over and then most likely never get another apple laptop, sad times.
This is a Pro device that is a big FU to a large number of pro users

How so?

 

[netsped]

Those prices though... wtf.

 

[frankc92]

still 16gb entry level 15"..... "innovation"


when's the last time an Apple reveal led to a standing ovation in the crowd?

 

[iosuser]

$1799, 13" even without touch bar $1499

 

[kenflynn]

256 GB SSD - seriously ?

 

[AppleWes]

Ouch... prices just stopped me from buying. *I understand new features require higher prices, but (for me personally) it's not enough to justify the price jump.

 

[AppleMad98004]

New functions require higher prices.... Apple is a premium product. Even Microsofts new products are pricey.

 

[chrismail627]

No love for the desktops...MR forums is gonna be mad!

Anyway, I'll be ordering a 15 inch asap. Beautiful machine.

 

[Orange Computer]

LAME, LAME, LAME. No real innovation. Just a touch bar on an overpriced computer. Come on, Apple you can do better.

Starts at $1,799 for the Touch Bar enabled with only 256GB of storage? Are you ***** kidding me?

Love how you could hear freaking crickets chirping in that audience. Way to absolutely murder any excitement all those demos whipped up, Tim.

 

[Stiss]

They've gone off the deep end.
I honestly don't know if they understand what pro customers want.
It's certainly not a freaking Emoji bar.

don't be honest, just let us know when you have your order in

Audio Ports!?! F'n Hell Apple. Now I have to carry one set of lightning headphones for my iPhone7 and a separate pair of analog or usbC headphones just for my mac?! Such a fail!

You're not getting it. You need wireless headphones!

Oh, I know. I almost fell out of my chair. For once, I would like to see the audience boo at these awful announcements.

Let's also not forget the $200 in adapters you'd have to buy.

 

[deadlystriker]

So the highlight of this "hello again" is just the touch bar and new MacBook Pro?

How about the Mac Pro, iMac, Mac mini??

 

[JoEw]

$1799 is quite a stretch for an OLED touch bar and 2 more Thunderbolt 3 ports I don't need.

People that honestly throught Apple would stick a lightning port onto a laptop make me chuckle. Five bucks says the iPhone 8 comes with a USB-C port.

Seriously. Doesn't an iphone come with 256 GB option? This is supposed to be a Pro machine and it has not much more storage than a phone? Insulting. Can't wait to see what the 2 TB upgrade costs. Probably $1,500.

That's completely insane. 512GB should be the base with a $100 bump to 1TB and $300 to 3TB

 

[schmani]

Imagine buying a new MacBook Pro and not being able to set your iPhone 7 up via iTunes because it has no USB ports any more

 

[AppleMad98004]

Welcome to the computer that will still be for sale in 2021 with 2019 tech in it..... WTF Apple????

 

[chfilm]

Haha it was so obvious people would hate this machine for the unification of ports. (I love the idea!)

But what about that LG 5k display?? Does this mean Thunderbolt Display made by apple is officially dead?

 

[ZZ9pluralZalpha]

... Who uses a trackpad or mouse, ugh.

In my experience, everyone who buys a laptop with touchscreen ends up using a trackpad or a mouse...

 

[Nozuka]

They've gone off the deep end.
I honestly don't know if they understand what pro customers want.
It's certainly not a freaking Emoji bar.

Yes, it can only be used as an Emoji bar. Nothing else. They didn't show anything for their core pro customers.

The move to USB C is the one good thing about these machines!
