Apple will price match prices with a "brick and mortar" store up to 10%. I recently purchased a 13" MBP from the Apple Store (non-touch bar) for the Best Buy sale price of $1399. They didn't bat an eye in matching it. I was in and out quickly.Funny how these retailers give us a better deal than Apple themselves...
Where from?Just bought the 2015 with a $440 discount. Wouldn't have bought 2016 at the same price.
That was absolutely fantastic, thank you
Moore's law died in 2012, time to recalibrate expectations. I pity the marketing departments in tech struggling to push products to their entitlement driven tech addicted customer base.More expensive than the superior 2015 models were when they were new. n0 thanks

The MacBook Pro was never overpriced until now. MacBook Air was only overpriced in the first gen. Yes, it costs more than a Dell, but Dells suck, and the extra cost is worth it so you can have a decent OS and outstanding keyboard, trackpad, display, etc. But the 2016 costs more than the 2015, and it's worse, and macOS is also worse now. Tech is supposed to improve year-over-year while remaining the same price or getting cheaper.

Someone who needs advanced features on the computer for work purposes.
However... I cannot figure out how anyone can complain about the trackpad. It's awesome. I guess in theory you could have a track pad that was too big but this one isn't. Bigger is almost always better in this case.
Yes it is. The base 15" would randomly pick up where my wrist was and move the cursor there. The mid-range 15" is doing the same thing.
Does it come with at least 16 GB memory and an improved graphics card? So I can run a Windows 10 VM without it becoming laggy or crashing? Does it come with a battery that won't drain within seconds?
Just after the Christmas shopping period, B& ;H Photo is offering impressive deals on the new 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. B& ;H is offering $200 off with a free copy of Parallels 12, which is worth $79.95.
How about throwing in 16 dongles too and then maybe I'll think about it.
That has nothing to do with what I said. Do you just like to hear yourself talk?

Agreed. I voted yes on the new MacBook Pro and bought one.
On the other hand, it being a public forum can be used to justify literally anything. That's a meaningless point to make.
totally agree these are way overpriced for what you get and they took away the glowing apple on the top .A couple more hundred dollars off and it might actually be worth it.
and they took away the glowing apple on the top
The keyboard on that new MacBook Pro is pretty great. I like it better than my 2013" MBP that it's replacing. Very solid and precise feeling.Add a proper keyboard and touchpad, and I'll take two.
If Apple made the giant trackpad work with the Apple Pencil, complete with pressure sensitivity, it would be a huge selling point. Bigger than the silly Emoji bar. This would be a Pro feature.
